Hello! I see you're having trouble with the Procare app on your Samsung Galaxy S8 because Google Play says it's not compatible. Let me help clarify the situation and find a way for you to use the app.
First, can you share what version of Android your Galaxy S8 is running? Sometimes apps require a certain minimum Android version to work properly. Also, have you checked if there are any pending system updates on your phone?
Generally, if Google Play shows an app as incompatible, it can be due to the Android OS version being older than what the app supports, or perhaps specific hardware or software features the app needs.
Here's what I suggest:
1. Check Android Version: Go to Settings > About Phone > Software Information, then note the Android version. 2. Update Android if Possible: If your phone isn't on at least Android 9 or higher (depending on Procare's requirement), try updating. Go to Settings > Software Update > Download and Install. 3. Clear Google Play Store Cache: Sometimes Play Store glitches cause compatibility messages. Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage > Clear Cache. 4. Restart Your Phone: After clearing cache, it's good to reboot. 5. Try Searching Again: Open Google Play and see if the app now shows as compatible or can be installed.
If after these steps the app still won't install, it may be that the current Procare app version no longer supports the Galaxy S8’s Android software or hardware. Since the Galaxy S8 is a few years old, this is possible.
If you want, I can also look up Procare's official compatible device list to confirm if your model and OS is supported.
Would you mind checking your current Android version and letting me know? That will help me guide you further.
