My apps won't auto update

[kal1209]

I have a 2013 Nexus 7 with 4.3 installed but my apps won't update automatically. I have sync on as well. Do they update at certain times of the day or are they supposed to update as new updates become available? Thank you.

Open your Google Play Store app, tap menu and then Settings, and make sure your Auto Update Apps option is turned on.

Or was turned on. However they still don't update.

Which apps are you expecting to update? Are updates definitely available? I ask because there have been many announcements recently about updated Google apps (coinciding with the KitKat rollout), but since Google app updates become available in a rolling fashion, they may not have reached you yet.

I also have this issue. The apps will update automatically once in a blue moon when all the stars and planets align. Usually when I restart my phone. I have auto sync turned off to save battery. At least, that's what I believe it's doing.

I knew there was an update for Drippler but even though I left my tablet on with sync activated for several hours it still never updated.

I'm not sure how frequently the Play Store checks for updates. Also check the individual app--select Drippler in the Play Store, then press the menu button. Is the Auto-Update box checked? As far as I understand, you can select the universal Auto-Update setting in the main Play Store settings, but you can then turn off the Auto-Update for individual apps.

I already checked the individual setting and it was set to auto update but still didn't.

Is there anything set to update only under certain conditions? For example, via wifi only?

I have it set to auto update at any time. It's under settings.
