Google Play Store deleted / corrupted

[sarvesh2000]

My Google Play Store is deleted / corrupted. Today i tried to update an app, while that app was updating, playstore stop working. I tried to open it multiple time but it was showing unfortunately google playstore has stopped. So i restarted my phone but this time icon from app drawer disappeared. I search in settings in app list but it was not there. I also tried using search phone option but still no result. My phone is not rooted and android version is 8.1.0 . I am using samsung j7 prime and my device status is official. I am unable to use any pre-installed google services like youtube, gmail etc. It shows message youtube won't run without Google Play Services, which is not supported by your device. Also in app details in store it shows something weird like com.android.vending. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you

I was able to bring it back by downloading playstore apk from apk mirror. Just make sure the version should be compatible with the phone.
