That’s not what’s happening here. When I open the app (I’m talking about the iRobot app in this case) I am presented with a screen informing me that an update is available. There is a button that says “update” which when tapped takes me to the app store. There is no way to decline this update

I have the TV Guide app. I believe the notification you are receiving, is notifying you of changes in the updated version of the app. That is, the update has already occurred, not, that the update is pending. If you wish to prevent apps from updating automatically, go to: Settings >

That’s exactly the kind of thing that I’m talking about. Your only option is to update . you can’t say you‘ll do it later or I don’t want the update or anything there is one single button and in order to use the app you have to take the update. Sent from Kimber's Red iPhone True peace is not

There are features under iOS 14.4 which you can turn on and they should help you make some sense out of the app. They are screen identification features. Sent from my Verizon iPhone 12 Pro!!! > On Feb 22, 2021, at 3:22 PM, Andy Baracco wrote: > > Don't understand your question! > > Andy >

Well, that seems to answer the question. Some apps won't let you decide for yourself. That is stupid beyond belief. I'd be complaining loudly to Apple as well as the app developer. Richard Ralph's Observation: It is a mistake to allow any mechanical object<>to realize that you are in a

One example that I dealt with recently was the TV Guide Mobile app. Upon launching the app, there was a screen that informed you of an update, and the only action you could take was to tap an OK button. Upon updating, I was confronted with a totally different layout that was inaccessible.
