I'm at a total loss. Went to sleep and my phone was fine and on the charger. Woke up and I keep getting the popup of "Google Play Services Keeps Stopping," and none of my google applications work. Things I've tried:
Restarting the phone
Restarting the phone in safe mode
Wiping the Play Services cache
Force stopping the Play Services
Disabling the Play Services then trying to open the app store to force an update
Checking my phone for software updates (none found)
I have a Galaxy S22 Ultra with T-Mobile in the US. I'm running no custom firmware, just Nova Launcher. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I had the same problem today (just after updating my phone) and eventually found a way to uninstall Google Play Services updates, thanks to the thread in Google Play Help Forum:
I was able to fix the issue today, by uninstalling the Google Play Services updates. Could only do that after making sure 'Find My Phone' was no longer a device administrator. Steps I followed:
- Go to Settings -> Lock screen and security -> Other security settings -> Device Administrators
- Uncheck 'Find My Device'
- Go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play Services
- Tap the vertical ellipsis (3 vertical dots) at the top right -> Uninstall updates
- Go to Settings -> Apps -> Google Play
- Tap the vertical ellipsis (3 vertical dots) at the top right -> Uninstall updates
- Restart phone. At this point the message "Google Play services keeps stopping" was gone.
- Open one of the Google apps (in my case Google Maps)
- It complains that "Google Play services" is outdated, click the popup to update it again. Problem solved. Really happy to have my phone back ;)
It worked for me (no more error messages, and now I can use again apps such as Google Play Store, Google Maps, etc)
Thank you! I, too, had tried all the other fixes, and I couldn't get this one to work either for a while, until I found the right place to disable "Find my Phone." For me, it was here: Settings --> Biometrics and Security --> Other Security Settings --> Device Admin Apps
So I was wondering if I would be able to reinstall the updates afterwards? I want to make sure before I try it. I already tried multiple things after my google play services keeps crashing, though none of them worked. I already tried clearing the cache and restarting the device so this is the last option I am going to try, however, I do have another idea of downloading an app that keeps crashing off the google play online store, though I'm not sure if that would be safe due to me already having that on my tablet.
Edit: I have tried to uninstall updates so many times now, I've deactivated find my device so many times and activated or not it says I cannot uninstall updates because it's part of an active administrator.
