How to allow apps to auto-update

Updated over 2 weeks ago

STEP 1: From the Home Screen, tap "Apps & Safety".

STEP 2: Select "Download Apps" to open the Google Play Store.

STEP 5: Press on your child's profile in the Play Store.

STEP 6: Scroll down the page to find the "Settings" option.

Tap on "Settings".

STEP 7: Tap on "Network preferences" to see the drop down of Network preference settings. Then, tap on "Auto-update apps".

STEP 8: Select any "Update" option, we recommend "update over Wi-Fi only" to ensure apps are not updated using mobile data.

Ensure "Don't auto-update apps" is not selected.

Well done! You've successfully changed the auto-update setting in Google Play.
