At the top, you’ll see a button to update all the apps. But, if you want to update first the apps you use the most, you can always tap on the Update button to the side of each app. That’s all there is to it when updating your Android apps manually.

If you don’t have the time to go into Google Play and update the Android apps manually, there’s a simpler way. You can manually update your apps by tapping on your Google Play profile and going to Settings. Once you’re in, tap not General, followed by Auto-update apps.

Auto-update apps will show you three options:

• Over any network
• Over WiFi only
• Don’t auto-update apps

Make sure you choose the over WiFi option, and you’re good to go.

Even though you have the automatic update system set up, it’s a good idea to check to see if any apps were left behind and weren’t updated.
