Update apps automatically

Developers frequently post updated versions of their apps, adding new features or fixing issues. When you open Play Store, your phone checks if updated versions of your apps are available. For some apps, you must update them manually. Other apps, however, can be set to update automatically. When you're updating an app, look for a tick box you can select to automatically install any future updates.

If you're set up to receive automatic updates and an app has changed the information it wants to access on your phone, you will receive a notification to update the app manually and will be required to review and accept the new permissions. Changes to permissions are listed on the app permissions page. Review the permissions, and if you agree, touch ACCEPT. Use automatic updates only for apps from reliable sources.
