Re: automatic app updates?

[rajmund]

hi,
I don't turn them on, either, simply, and you've said it as well, it's 
nice to know what you're pudating. and on the iPad, thanks to you guys, 
I didn't update my dropbox. but am pretty sure the original poster was 
looking for this setting.

I did not know that free apps didn't update automatically, but
then again, I do not use automatic updates.
Case in point, Dropbox seriously broke their app with the last
update.
Fortunately, I had not synced my phone with my computer and was
able to delete the broken Dropbox and get an earlier version off
my computer.
Perhaps someone who uses automatic updates can address your issue
more directly.

 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.
