Sorry to hear. Do you have the playstore version installed ? If so, it needs to be removed first (make sure you have wallet sync on).

Maybe you can try the fdroid version so it supports updates, or this 32 bit: https://build.lbry.io/android/build-1113_commit-a5d4eda/browser-0.16.6-release__arm.apk

Assuming Play store version is called LBRY then no it's not installed. I tried clearing space. I have more than 3 GB free now and it does the same thing. I will search to find out what the fdroid version is.

I can't find the "wallet sync" setting to check it.

Okay so I installed F-droid from https://f-droid.org/

F-droid says app tracks location and also is incompatible. I changed settings to allow incompatible. At the end the problem is the same "App not installed".

My phone is a piece of crap and freezes a lot but I don't know if I've ever seen "App not installed" before and don't usually see incompatible.

So I don't know for sure if my phone is just too old or if Google is blocking this somehow or what.

@runvnc What device are you trying to install LBRY on? It's possible you're trying to install on a 32-bit device, in which case the latest.apk link would not work since it's 64-bit. You can try obtaining 32-bit APKs (suffixed with __arm.apk) from https://github.com/lbryio/lbry-android/releases.

This should now work on Fdroid for 32bit devices.
