I have auto update turned on and I still need to do manual updates all the time. Moving that option always felt so user hostile to me although I can't really say why.
It probably bugs us so much because we are both capable of figuring out why developers make changes even if we dislike them and yet we cannot come up with a single good reason for this one.
Seriously everytime it says there are 0 updates I hit refresh and I have 10+
I just checked. I have auto updates turned on, but I have 22 pending updates after refreshing. One of them is to an app that I thought was broken for the last week (Paramount+). I have no idea why this is an issue.
It generally tries to avoid updating apps while the phone isn't charging, connected over WiFi and currently idle - I myself only charge the phone when it's running low and I pretty much never get automatic updates (I have AppNotifier installed so I do know when it happens).
From time to time I let the phone charge overnight (with an alarm set so that the adaptive charging turns on) and it always updates all the apps during the night. I'm pretty sure the two hours it takes for normal charging is just too short to reliably trigger updates.
Idk I just checked again and it had 8 updates, one of them from June 22 on an app that I open and use daily. I don't leave it plugged in all night every night, but I'm sure I've done so at least once since June.
Exactly it's bizarre.
