Further Information
While the option to automatically update all of your apps is convenient, you may discover that you do not want to update certain programs.
In this instance, you cannot utilize the automatic app update feature because it cannot be configured to not update specific apps.
Manually upgrading apps requires you to launch the App Store app, tap your profile symbol in the top-right corner of the screen, and then tap the Update button to the right of any app that requires updating.
You can also select Update All to install all available app updates.
If you have enabled automatic app updates, you may want to adjust the settings in the Cellular Data section of the Settings > App Store menu if you only want to update apps over Wi-Fi.
Because the updates might be rather large, they can consume a significant amount of cellular data if that option is enabled.
Conclusion
It is vital to maintain your iPhone apps up to date not just to keep them secure and effective, but also to take advantage of any new features that have been added.
You have complete control over how these upgrades occur on the device, whether you choose to let your iPhone manage all of your app updates or use the manual option via the App Store app.
