Manage App Updates

/
 

Do you often see a badge notification on the App Store app on your iPhone/iPad?

The reason is that many app designers release updates up to four times a month depending on user feedback and bug fixes. You can certainly update the apps manually upon seeing the notification, but there is also an automatic option available.

Today I'll show you how to set up apps to automatically update. But before doing so, I suggest reviewing the apps listed beneath Available Updates to determine if you're still using them. If you're not, this is a good time to delete what you don't need...and I've included those steps as well.
