Re: updates

Welcome to Android Central! Which apps? Are they updating successfully? Is it through Google Play Store, or some other app store like Amazon Appstore or Galaxy Apps Store?

Re: updates

Apps with large file sizes, download or update files, will want to update over WiFi to save data. There is usually a preference in your PS app for how to handle large downloads. Have you ever agreed to do the updates? PS updates require approval if permissions change, and if you do not open the PS app and give concent for the new permissions the apps will not update and may give you notifications telling you the update is ready until permission is granted or the app uninstalled. Knowing what app and its source would be useful to those of us who would like to help you, also.
