How to stop apps updating automatically in Google Play
If you've ever picked up your phone to see that
Google Play is going crazy and auto-updating app after app, you might
feel your stomach tightening up as you see your data allowance
evaporating into thin air. Fortunately, this is easy to solve. We'll
show you how to stop apps from updating automatically so that Google
Play only updates when and how you want it to.
Bottom line is this... Google has a problem
that Google created and Google needs to solve it. "Unfortunately,
Google play services has stopped". They need to just change it to
"Unfortunately, Google Play services now suck". You may wonder why...
well the new update is loaded with tracking BS to sell to advertisers.
Of course Google sold their soul to the devil with Google adwords but
that is another topic. Looks like Microsoft is going to be in business
for quite a while. The Google idiots had a chance and instead of
leaving the Andriod OS intact they decided to gut it and exploit it....
so bite it Google.
After following the procedure to stop auto
updates, the next day I find that XL and Powerpoint had been installed.
It seems that the setting does not work. Is there a time delay for
actioning.
If you tap on the clear data button in
settings>storage>apps>google play store , the settings" do not
Auto update " will be cancelled, and app will return to default
settings. Whatever the settings maybe, google play store and google play services update automatically.
Exactly and why does it do that... because
Google has new BS in there updates to track and sell to advertisers.
They are determined to make sure that we all stay with Microsoft until a
legitimate company comes along that does not employee a bunch of
freaking idiots.
Google & Samsung do not seem to realise
that some applications on Android can be battery draining applications,
and so glad i turned off my updates from the Play Store, some
applications you never use but are on your phone you should be allowed
to uninstall it or disable it to help your battery last longer, why some
applications do not offer the Exit option is totally wrong on Android
Kindly go to the app(s) on playstore. Click on
the three dots on your upper right corner. You will see an empty box
with the option to auto-update or not. Cheers!
Just bought a galaxy s6 and been charged a
fortune in my first month on data usage because of automatic updates
from google play. when i went into settings(on google play) it appears that it is already on wifi updates only? This
can't be the case as i have seen updates outside of wifi on my phone.
Maybe it automatically chooses this option because you have gone into
that section. i would have thought that play store automatically sets itself to wifi updates only anyway. confused, i have choosen the no updates at all option.
My experience has been that Google will.update
their own apps anyway unless I disable certain ones. Google Games is
one of them. Google Play is another.
I have a budget zeki tablet and I have picked
the do not auto update and my Google chrome text to speech and other
Google apps still auto update. How can I get it to stop? Every time I
turn tablet off they all start updating when I turn tablet on.
Kris, I appreciate the information &
guidance you have provided. However, I have already I followed the steps
you indicated previously to stop my android phone from. I have the
galaxy s5. This morning I turned my phone off and I turned it back on
& Google Chrome auto updated. I went into Google Chrome deleted the
update. When I shut the phone off and turned it back on it updated
again. Do you know if there is any way just stop Google Chrome from auto
updating. Thank you
Ajala, you probably only deleted the shortcut. Just press the apps icon. This icon is usually consisted of little grey squares. You will find your it there.
