This has started showing up for some reason, suggesting that instead of updating my apps in the background, Google Play is waiting until I open an app to check for updates. Is there like a setting somewhere I need to change?

      Yupp. I am having auto update off actually, because I like to know what apps are getting an update but even manually checking doesn’t work well.

      I might remember to check for updates, go in, hit refresh and it says no updates there. OK. Good. Then 10 minutes later I get a notification, there are 10 apps to be updated! Not sure why it didn’t work 10 minutes ago, but well, whatever.

        Yeah, it’s relatively new addition, at least the mode that doesn’t require user interaction. I think it requires Android 12 or 13.

        I have auto update on Neostore and it works flawlessly, but barely use it as I prefer to update as many apps as possible from the original source (Codegerg, Github, Gitlab, etc) over Obtainium.
