Android auto-app updates

[englishpremier]

Been a while since I used android.

I can turn off auto-updates, as I don't want blanked updates across the system or even notifications.

What I do want to select a handful of apps that do want to auto-update. How is that done in the latest play store? It used to be simple in the days of yore.

When you open the playstore, tap on your account bubble top right and select "manage apps and device"..

On the overview tab, second line from the top you should see "Updates Available" ..

There you can select "update all" or "see details"!

When you choose "see details" you can select apps individually!

I see that I'm talking about only having certain apps auto-update not doing a manual update on certain apps. I don't see an option for that on the new play store.

Go to the app in question, press the menu button on the top right and make sure "Enable auto-update" is checked for the apps you want to auto update, and unchecked for the apps you don't want to update.

Thanks.

Looks like that will work if I'm prepared to go the play store then search through every single app on the phone and disable auto update. Shame Google have made such a mess of it.
