Update Apps on iPhone
Depending on your choice, you can either manually download Updates for Apps installed on your device or Setup iPhone to automatically download App Updates. Setting up iPhone to automatically download Updates ensures that you are always using the latest version of Apps on your iPhone. The advantage of manually updating Apps is that it allows you select when to download and install updates on your device and which Apps to update.
