This means you shouldn\u2019t have to keep checking the Google Play Store for any new updates. Follow these steps to turn on automatic updates for all your apps or just some of them:<\/p>\n
\nOpen the Google Play Store and click on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.<\/li>\n Tap Settings > Network preferences > Auto-update apps<\/strong>.<\/li>\nFrom here, you\u2019ll see a few different options. Choose Over Wi-Fi only<\/strong> if you want to download updates when you\u2019re connected to Wi-Fi and not on a mobile network. There\u2019s also the Over any network<\/strong> option, which means downloads will occur over Wi-Fi and<\/em> mobile data. This option is best if you have an unlimited mobile data plan. Otherwise, app updates could use up a large chunk of your data.<\/li>\nIf you want to disable automatic updates altogether, select Don\u2019t auto-update apps<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

Select how you want to auto-update your apps.<\/em><\/figcaption><\/span><\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\nYou can also enable automatic updates on individual apps rather than all of them. Here\u2019s how:<\/p>\n
\nOpen the Google Play Store and select your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.<\/li>\n Select Manage apps & device<\/strong>, and then tap the Manage<\/strong> tab on top.<\/li>\nTap the app you want to enable auto-updates for.<\/li>\n Select the three dots in the top-right corner of the screen, and then ensure Enable auto update<\/strong> <\/strong><\/em>is checked off.
