Also note, when copying the APK it should have an icon of the app. If it has the default icon it's probably corrupt download due to other unrelated reasons, so you can try downloading again. Now the cache folder is cleared and locked and apps folders are unlocked. Note1: If you click on a new download and it says "pending" just force close Google Play and restart it, it should start downloading automatically.
Note2: I have tested this with only Android: 6. Check to see if you have the cache folder and if the download of the Google Play Services is being uploaded there once upload is finished it stays there for a while. WARNING: It's fine to keep cache folder locked up, but if you happen to restart your phone while those data folders are locked, your phone will not boot. And you'll need to go manually and change it from TWRP shell. I understand this solution is not for everyone, but if your primary concern is stability and to keep data-usage under control, this works Hopefully someone will come up with a better answer than this.

Background " Google Play services for Instant Apps " has installed itself onto my device without my permission. That is, most likely it is "Google Play services" that's actually doing this in the background There are no confirmations and no notifications of anything downloading, updating, or installing.
My question is: how do I completely disable unauthorized updates of an Android device, yet preserving the following functionality: Contacts Sync Google Play Store Google Maps App In these screenshots, you can see that all settings responsible for automatic updates are switched off.
The download is still requested and subsequently, installed. Seems any way of blocking installation will make it download again and again until your data is used up. So most likely best approach would be to prevent the downloading in the first place.
I wasn't able to install Download Manager as a user app, which seems the part that needs to be controlled. Update 2: Downgrading to the previous version of GP Services v Update 3: So now Google is updating itself on regular basis pretty much whenever it feels like it. Improve this question.

And the kill switch to solve this problem is to use an Antivirus. Wrichik Basu Wrichik Basu 3 3 gold badges 14 14 silver badges 31 31 bronze badges. Sign up or log in Sign up using Google.
