Cannot open on phone

I have downloaded the app. on my Android phone but when I click open, I just get a white screen with 'Just a moment' and a spinning wheel. Does anyone know why it will not open? I have a Hauwei Honor 9 Lite, EMUI version 9. I am trying to install Total Protection.

Also, I have tried the online chat on numerous occasions but when I click start chat nothing happens? I am expecting to get at least a wait time message, is this normal?

Thank you in advance for any advise.

Re: Cannot open on phone

Thank you for responding. I'm afraid I am not very technical so don't know how to do a screen shot and send but I did download from Google store. I do have the Mcafee icon on my phone but when I click on it I just the the blank white screen and the 'Just a moment' message? It is version 6.3.0.106. I have just purchased the Total Protection which I am trying to renew, as far as I know I have last years on it as I have not been able to get my new purchase installed, unless it automatically updates once I had put the new activation code in for my laptop?

Re: Cannot open on phone

Thank you. I have just checked again and it is now showing version 6.4.1.285  but I still cannot open the app? as my original question, when I click on the McAfee icon, I just get a white screen with 'Just a moment' and a spinning wheel. I didn't update the version as there is no option to update so it must have done it automatically?
