Automatic Android apps update

The Android apps are changing the way we are living. We rely on these apps from setting alarms to staying connected with our family, friends and other beloved members. All these apps are set to update automatically via Wi-Fi to get the latest features. For some of you, they get updated automatically even while using the mobile data. So, if you are looking for a way to turn off the automatic updates, you are at the right place right now.

How to turn off the automatic updates for specific apps?

  • Open Google PlayStore and tap the hamburger icon in the top-left and select ‘My Apps & Games’.
  • Swipe to find the app that you have chosen. Instead of swiping, you may also enter the name of the app in the search bar.
  • After landing in the app page, tap the three-dot icon in the top-right.
  • Uncheck Auto-update.
  • That’s it. Hereafter, the PlayStore will stop updating this app automatically.
  • Repeat the same steps for other apps for which you don’t want to update.

How to turn off automatic updates for all the apps in Android?

  • Open Google PlayStore.
  • Tap the hamburger icon in the top-left and choose Settings.
  • Tap Auto-Update apps under General.
  • Select the first option: Do not auto-update apps.
  • After doing this, no any app will get updated on its own.

How to enable automatic updates on Android?

  • Open Google PlayStore.
  • Tap the hamburger icon in the top-left and choose Settings.
  • Tap Auto-Update apps under General.
  • Select the third option: Auto-update apps over Wi-Fi only if you want to update only via Wi-Fi.
  • Select the second option: Auto-update apps at any time if you want to update the apps right at the moment when the developers roll them out in the PlayStore.

However, if there are any apps that require additional permissions to get update, they will wait for your approval. We hope that these ways will work for you. If you are still stuck anywhere, please let us know in the comments section below.
