Android Question Google Play Store - App not auto updating on device

[Jmu5667]

Hi

We have an app in the play store, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.is.vitllinkSOS
Today we published an update and devices are showing an update is available but are not auto updating. Selecting update will perform the update. It used to auto update before.

Any ideas

Regards

John.

Whether it is automatically updated or not depends on the Play Console Developer. But every device has its settings.

The user can select which ones to update automatically or not, the developer can never decide

Thanks for the quick response, is there a setting in the play console, I have looked but cannot find one.

I'm sorry but I've never seen a similar option in the Play Console Developer.

But I saw this option instead on the Play Store app

You've confused me !

The option to update the app automatically is in the Google Play app on your mobile device.

Look at the photo

I think that has to do with https://stackoverflow.com/questions...tic-updating-feature-for-my-app-on-play-store

It should be updated automatically if the user selected the option (which is selected by default). You don't need to do anything special.

Make sure to give it enough time and to test it on a device where your app is installed from the store and not manually.

Thanks Erel, I thought as much.

I receive many notifications about new updates available and very few apps are updated automatically.

I suppose this means that the default setting is "don't update automatically", since I don't think I've changed this setting, much less on many apps.


P.S.
I searched now and did not find this setting on my device

Open Google Play, menu three bar, settings. There you will see 'Auto-update apps'
Set it as you like.

Yes, but I don't think it's always useful to open a new thread every time, in some cases, as in this I think, it is better to reply to an old post.

And so I do and I will.

If this is a problem for some members or for Erel, an automatism may be set that automatically blocks the threads older than a month.

OK.
Just thought a quick google search would have answered you question / doubt.

Exactly, I searched for and found that post that was just about my question.
