What to do on your device

  1. Open Settings, Accounts and Sign In, then the affected profile and inspect Apps only mode.
  2. Confirm whether the desired app is installed before treating a missing recommendation row as an app fault.
  3. If installing an app, check search or the Apps tab and follow Google’s official app flow.
