By default, Android apps downloaded from the Google Play Store are automatically updated. If you would rather review the updates and any new or changed permissions associated with the updates, you can choose to disable automatic updates.
The options for automatic updates are slightly different in the new version (5.0) of the Play Store. We will show you how to do it in both the old and the new versions.
Google Play Store Prior to Version 5.0
To turn off automatic updates in versions of the Play Store earlier than 5.0, touch the Play Store icon on your Home screen.
In the Play Store, touch the menu button in the upper-left corner of the screen.
Touch “Settings” on the menu.
The “Auto-update apps” option is in the “General” section of the “Settings” screen. If it says “Auto-update apps at any time. Data charges may apply,” then your apps will be automatically updated. To turn this option off, touch “Auto-update apps.”
On the “Auto-update apps” dialog box, touch “Do not auto-update apps.”
The dialog box closes and the “Auto-update apps” option is updated with the “Do not auto-update apps” setting. Touch the Play Store icon in the upper-left corner of the screen to go back to the main Play Store screen. You can also touch the Back button on your device.
On a Google Nexus 7, when you hold the device in landscape mode, and you’re on the “My apps” screen, the screen is split into two panes. The left pane contains your list of “Installed” apps and “All apps”. The left pane contains buttons allowing you to “Open,” “Update,” or “Uninstall” the app. The “Allow automatic updating” check box is also available in the right pane.
