How To Check For App Updates On Samsung Galaxy

Under normal circumstances, you’ll only need to tap on a notification for app and software updates to keep your Samsung Galaxy software environment up-to-date.

However, there may be times that you may miss some update notifications so may have to manually update your apps at a later date. If you don’t know how to do that, this tutorial should walk you through it.

We’ve updated this post to reflect the latest steps that you need to follow if your Samsung device is running the latest Android 10 software.

Check for updates to Samsung Galaxy apps

NOTE: If you have many apps to update, be mindful of using wifi instead of mobile data. Updating many apps at once may consume significant GB off your mobile data subscription. To ensure that you only update apps when on wifi network, follow the steps below:

  1. Open Play Store app.
  2. Tap More settings icon at the upper left (three-horizontal lines).
  3. Tap Settings.
  4. Tap App download preference
  5. Select Over wifi only (select Over any network if you don’t have wifi).
  6. Tap Done.

That’s it! We hope that you now have a practical know-how on how to check for app updates in your Samsung for good.
