Disable Automatic App Update On Smartphones or Tablets

Who doesn’t want to always stay updated with the latest and greatest? Everyone wants it, but when we think about automatic apps update, we don’t care about it when we are connected to WiFi networks. If we have a small data plan on our mobile, we use the internet on a limited basis and at that time we need to control data usage on smartphones. Google Play Auto Update helps the user to automatically apps update whenever new updates available from installed apps. But while on the mobile data plan, we must have control over it. Hence there is an option in Google App Store to prevent apps from getting automatic updates.
