> Subject: How to Turn Off Automatic App Updates in iOS 7
>
> Automatic Updates is a feature that came along with iOS 7 which allows
> updates to installed apps to download and install themselves, allowing for a
> very hands-off approach to the app updating process. For many users this is a
> good thing to leave on, since it takes the hassle out of updating and
> managing your apps, and you’ll only have to use the App Store to download new
> apps instead. But automatic updates are not always a desirable feature for
> all users for a variety of reasons, whether you’re trying to squeezes maximum
> performance out of a device, reduce overall network bandwidth used by an
> iPhone or iPad, or perhaps you’d just prefer to control the app updating
> process yourself. If you’d rather have apps not update themselves in the
> background, you can take a moment to turn the feature off.
>
> Stop Apps Updating Themselves Automatically
>
> Open Settings and go to “iTunes & App Store”
> Scroll down to the “Automatic Downloads” section
> Toggle “Updates” to OFF to stop apps automatically updating
>
>
> That’s it, no more automatic app updates, no more surprises when opening apps
> to find things have changed. Remember, with this feature turned OFF you will
> need to use the App Store to handle updates yourself, similar to how it was
> done in the past with all iOS releases pre-7.0.
>
> Turning off Automatic Updates has a few additional side benefits too; it can
> help increase battery life, and it can also help to speed up iOS 7 equipped
> devices a bit, particularly older models. Both benefits are a result of
> reducing background activity and resource usage, and though the newest model
> iPhone and iPad devices may not notice them quite so much, they can still
> offer a nice increase to performance all around.
>
> Use Automatic Updates from Wi-Fi Only
>
> If you’d prefer to leave automatic updating on for wi-fi only while
> preventing it from happening over a cellular data connection, you can do that
> too with a simple adjustment within the “iTunes & App Store” settings: simply
> keep Automatic Downloads “Updates” toggled to ON, but toggle “Use Cellular
> Data” to OFF. Unless you have an unlimited cellular data plan with your
> iPhone or iPad, it’s probably a good idea to keep cellular data updating
> completely off.

> Will this Stop the Random Blue Dots Next to App Names?
>
> Yes, this will stop the blue dot from randomly appearing next to app names on
> your iOS home screen. For those who weren’t aware, the blue dot is an
> indicator that an app has been updated, or that an app is new to the device,
> but it has also caused a ton of confusion for many users who wonder why on
> earth a mysterious blue dot seems to show up alongside app names for
> seemingly no apparent reason.
>
>
>
> Turning off automatic updates will prevent it from showing up at random, and
> instead the blue dot will only appear when you have updated an app yourself,
> or downloaded something new from the App Store. You can not disable the blue
> dot completely.
