My wife's TAB 3 has all original software on board but Facebook and Messenger stopped sending and receiving anything.  So I decided to remove Facebook and Messenger entirely, reboot the tablet prior to reinstalling...  I have tried various places to download both like goofle store etc and none so far will reinstall .  We have it working via the web but she wants the apps running.   Any ideas would be a help.   I thought at ne time there was a Samsung app store but cant find it.  Just a bit of help to an old guy please.

Hi there.

I do not have the exact version info as I do not know what version of Android your wifes tablet is running but based on what I can see online, it looks like Meta has stopped supporting their apps on older software versions. It seems the website will be the only supported option on that tablet. You can try installing an older version of the apps downloaded from a trusted source as @GaryB82 has stated.

Facebook is only in the Google Store what does it say when you try to install from the Play store 

Try the link below and see if Facebook will install
