Hi there,

Does anyone know how often Automatic App Updates are supposed to take place?

I've got the settings to automatically update using cellular and wi-fi but so far it hasn't automatically updated anything... ever.

I had a look in the App Store today and clicked on the Update tab and it's showing 4 apps ready to update... when will it do them?

Thanks,
Richard.
 
This feature checks and downloads apps once or twice a day at most. Maybe it's just a coincidence but for me it downloaded apps at night while I was sleeping. It already has happened two times, both at night.
