How to Update Apps on Android Manually

Updating your apps manually is the better way to go about things for several reasons. First off, you get to choose when and where you update your apps. Secondly, you may not feel the need to perform the updates all at once, so you can just go ahead and update the one app you need to use at that time. To learn how to update your Android apps manually, follow the steps outlined above, then select the “Don’t auto-update apps” option. Next, check which apps need updating. Alternatively, you can check whether a new update is available for a specific app by visiting its dedicated page in the Play Store. Simply use the search bar to look for that app and go to its page. If you see the green “Update” button, it means an update is available for the app. You can hit the button to update the app on the spot. If you want to make sure only a particular app gets auto updated, simply tap the three dots in the upper-right corner of the display on the app page and select the “Enable auto update” option.
