If you used a browser, look in its downloads list or your file manager’s Downloads folder.

Do not uninstall the existing application as your first troubleshooting step.

If the application is identified as harmful or installation remains blocked, stop and contact support with a photo of the message.

Do not disable Play Protect to continue.
