Allowing or Denying Automatic Application Updates
If the automatic update feature is enabled, your applications get updated without you
being asked, so you may not realize that large volumes of data are being downloaded. In
order to avoid potentially high data transfer costs, you can disable automatic updates or
enable automatic updates only over Wi-Fi connection. You have to disable the automatic
update feature both in the Play Store™ app and the What's New app (where available) to
avoid the automatic updating of apps.
