To set up updates for individual apps on your device:
- Open the Google Play Store app .
- Tap Menu My apps & games.
- Select the app you want to update.
- Tap More .
- Check the box next to “Enable auto update.”
Go to your phone settings and find the appropriate app (called “Updater”) Disable that app from settings — this will prevent the app from silently downloading the updates in the background.
