Overall, according to the Play Store history, 36 apps were updated yesterday. Chrome Beta, Credit Karma, and Twitter had been used that day meaning there was at least one 10-day old update suddenly appearing. Surprise surprise they had.Įverything in the first batch was programs I haven’t used in a while, everything in the second batch with the exception of Google Duo / TV have been probably used within the past week or two. So, 50-80 apps opened, and then I went to the Play Store to investigate if things had changed. As noted, this is a ravioli-driven piece that I started at 11: 30pm last night while I was trying to figure out if I was going to throw up, or wait on the calcium chews I’ve used a total of four times in five years. I went to each of the apps I have not used in a while, opened it, verified that it was running / done, and switched to the next app. I have over 120 apps on my phone, but for purposes of this I’d say the field I’m mentioning below was about 80 apps. I forgot to get a screenshot of no updates being available, you’ll need to trust me on this one. I wrote a while back about the logic behind their update being problematic, but last night due to some ravioli complications I was up late and waiting for some heartburn to pass (not a normal thing for me.) I did the following: Play Store says no updates TL DR – use it, or realize it’s never updating. It doesn’t appear to update apps you don’t use. With every app update out there being 100 megs for next to nothing changed, Google implemented some logic on the Play Store to curb that. I’m talking the Play Store for everyone on the planet, not your app’s data usage.

The Google Play Store has got to be up there in bandwidth usage.
