Answer from HasH_BrowN on Stack ExchangeYou will need to goto a 3rd party website that hosts Google apps and download the newest (for your device) version. The one I use is http://gappsandroid.blogspot.com/ , you can download EVERY single Official Google app.
You could use OpenGApps. I believe it is sanctioned by Google and allows you to easily select a version for your device architecture and Android version, customizing the package by which apps/services you want.
Once downloaded, you can flash the package via recovery. It is also possible to extract the apps for a manual upgrade; see my answer here for details.

Hey Redditors.
While I was setting up Google Wallet (after a manual instalation from APKMirror, because it isn't supported in my country yet), the app asked which Google account I have to link and then proceeded afterwards to download the August 2023 Google play system update. Rebooted twice afterwards and the patch is still on August 2023 and uninstalled Wallet (Will definitely be using it though while travelling, but not for now)
FYI : Been stuck on February 2023 before it I proceeded to said installation.
Let's say I make a fake google account to download apps, I log out of that account and disable playstore. When apps force me to update I enable playstore again, Do I need to log back in or can I update apps without the the need for a google account?
In order to show an update in Google Play, your app either should have been installed through Google Play or it should be a system application.
If you have installed your application through adb or installed from other sources, Google play will show "Open" instead of "Update".
I had a similar problem and it turned out that there is a "glitch" with the update button in that it desappears in landscape mode, and is only visible in portrait mode. When I searched to find out what this was about, I came across this page (we are on), so I thought I'd post my answer here for anyone who might also be stumped and might stumble here.
