Hello guys,
Hope you are all doing well.
Using ios 18.4.1
So the subject says it all, and from the little research I've done, it appears that others, too, are having the same issue.
On my pixel for instance, app updates show daily, or almost daily.
I have about 10 apps on my iphone pluss whatever the phone comes with.
What I've tried.
Restarting the phone.
Disabling auto updates as well as automatically download to other devices.
Swiping down with three fingers on recently updated, my account name, and personal recommendations to refresh the page.
Nothing has worked.
I've even signed out and back into the ios app stor.
Any good workarounds?
The recently updated list, is there any way to clear that perhaps?
Best regards,
Muhammad.

I guess turn on auto update…
I guess turn on auto update and don't be bothered with app updates. Thy can sometimes terribly break an app's accessibility.
I can see the updates, I have no problems with that, but I don't update. The apps update automatically when I plug my phone on charge. I just look at the app updates out of boredom, I never manually update.
Most of the apps get weekly updates with same changelog messages anyway, so why bother even checking? Leave the phone to do it's work.
this will depend
Muhammad, as stated on other lists where you asked this question, it can depend on how many third-party apps you have installed. Apps don't update daily
or even weekly. I think you are worrying about nothing. There are a few good reasons to turn off auto updates, one of which is if accessibility gets broken,
you are in control.
Hi Dennis, I'm kinda…
Hi Dennis,
I'm kinda confused.
You say on the ios app store, apps don't update daily or weekly. How so?
Because on the google play store, they update almost daily. Obviously not the same app, but you get the idea.
it is simple
If there are no new features, why would it update? On iOS, most things just work. You won't always get weekly or daily updates, depending on the app.
Not sure why you are confused.
Nah, You've Got It
Swipe down with three fingers on the account page to refresh it, and you're guaranteed the latest updates. That's it. Note that even with automatic updates on, this doesn't happen automatically but at some scheduled time, so you can advance update by this method.
iOS apps built in to the system update with the image of the OS and aren't separate, so they'll never appear in the App Store in the list of updates (but, stupidly in my opinion, you still need the App Store to essentially re-enable a stock app that you've deleted).
one example
I have an app that hasn't updated since April 2nd. It doesn't mean it doesn't work. In fact it works quite well! I have another app that hasn't updated since March. Again it still works fine. I yet have another 3rd party app that hasn't updated in over a year. It still works. Note these are all third party apps.
Dennis, I think I didn't…
Dennis, I think I didn't completely explain myself clearly, but I think I'm getting a picture of how the app store works.
You said you have some apps that haven't updated in about a month, and others about in a year, I have the same experience on android as well.
What I was trying to say was, if you check for updates on the google play store, you are guaranteed updates almost every day with the exception of Sundays, of course.
Now that may partially be because of me having more apps, and it may also be because of what Debby said, that the ios native apps update with the system image update. It appears in that respect, the play store works differently.
To give you an example, I have had google apps that update in every two, three, four, five six days on my pixel. From what Debby has said, I'm coming to the conclusion that ios is different in that aspect.
as stated before
Sometimes iOS apps will update on there own. Other times they won't You are fine turning off automatic updates and checking every few days. You won't miss anything. This way if an app breaks accessibility you know not to update it. One app that did this in the past is Facebook as an example.
Thanks
