How To Update Apps On Android
One of the advantages of owning an Android smartphone is the huge library of apps to choose from over at the Google Play Store which you can download. There are apps for productivity, entertainment, education, and more. Some of these apps are free while others need to be purchased. Once the app has been downloaded to your device expect to get scheduled app updates. While these updates usually install automatically sometimes they don’t which is why you will have to manually update your apps.
