How to Enable Automatic Updates for Your Apps
As with operating systems, it’s important to set your apps to update automatically because developers release security patches when issues crop up, and you’ll want to have that protection. Here’s how to set automatic updates through the official app store for your device:
Microsoft Store: Open the Microsoft Store app and click the three-dot icon in the top-right corner. Then select “Settings” and make sure the toggle for Update apps automatically is enabled.
Mac App Store: You can make sure your apps update by opening System Preferences > Software Update and clicking the “Advanced” button. Here you’ll see an option for “Install app updates” from the App Store.
Google Play: Open the Google Play Store app and then tap Menu > Settings > Auto-update apps.
iOS App Store: Open Settings > App Store and enable App Updates.
If you have other connected devices — such as security cameras, video game systems, smartwatches, doorbells, and locks — also set them to update automatically.

STAY ALERT
STAY ALERT
Scammers have sunk to a new low to make money — exploiting the shortage of baby formula and desperation of parents and caregivers.
These criminals may make fake websites or profiles on social media using the product images and logos of household-name formula brands to deceive people into paying steep prices for formula that never arrives.
Don’t get swept up in “formula frenzy.” Before you order from an unfamiliar online store, follow this advice to help avoid a scam:
- Do your research. Check out the company or product by typing its name in a search engine with terms like “review,” “complaint,” or “scam.” See what other people say about it.
- Consider how you pay. Credit cards often give you the strongest protections, and you can sometimes get your money back if you ordered something but didn’t get it.
- Know your rights. When you shop online, sellers are supposed to ship your order within the time stated in their ads, or within 30 days if the ads don’t give a time. If a seller can’t ship within the promised time, it has to give you a revised shipping date, with the chance to either cancel your order for a full refund or accept the new shipping date.
