Today, Pete Lane walks us through the process used to arrange our iOS Settings to allow for the \u201cmanual&#8221; updates of apps in the App Store. Why manual updates you might ask? Every once in a while, we encounter an update that present some kind of a problem, either with the way VoiceOver behaves, or something else proves to be unreliable&nbsp;&nbsp;or unsteady. Updating your apps&nbsp;&nbsp;manually gives you control over if and when apps are updated on your phone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how Pete&#8217;s settings look in two primary areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>App Store settings for automatic downloads, and Background App refresh:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1. Go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Settings, AppStore:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Apps is off for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;App updates is off for me<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cellular Data Heading<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Automatic Downloads is off for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;App Downloads, I have mine set to \u201cAlways Ask\u201d because it is Cellular on this setting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>5.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Video Autoplay is off for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>6.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In-App Ratings &amp; Reviews is on for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>7.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Offload Unused Apps is on for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2nd location to set settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Background App Refresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Go to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Settings, General, Background App Refresh<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>8.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Background App Refresh is turned on for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Allow apps to refresh their content when on Wi-Fi or cellular in the background. Turning this off may help preserve battery life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may use a bit of battery, I like this on for the Weather apps, GPS and maps, etc. so they are always ready to go when I use them<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Try taking control of your App Store updates by adjusting these settings and you just might avoid inadvertently updating to a broken app and find yourself dealing with functions or features that don\u2019t work for you for the duration of that update.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more details about how to adjust your iOS Settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>to allow for automatic updates of Apps in your App Store, check out the Blind Abilities Quick Byte by Jeff Thompson, published on July 15, 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks for listening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contact-your-state-services\"><strong>Contact Your State Services<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you reside in Minnesota, and you would like to know more about Transition Services from State Services contact Pre-ETS Program and Transition Services Manager Sheila Koenig by&nbsp;<a>email<\/a>&nbsp;or contact her via phone at 651-539-2361.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"contact\"><strong>Contact:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You can follow us on Twitter&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/blindabilities\">@BlindAbilities<\/a><br>On the web at&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/blindabilities.com\/\">www.BlindAbilities.com<\/a><br>Send us an&nbsp;<a>email<\/a><br>Get the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/app\/blind-abilities\/id1085849859?l=es&amp;mt=8\">Free Blind Abilities App&nbsp;on the App Store<\/a>and&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=com.blindabilities.android.blind&amp;hl=en_US\">Google Play Store<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Give us a call and leave us some feedback at 612-367-6093 we would love to hear from you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check out the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/607027582712671\/\">Blind Abilities Community<\/a>on Facebook, the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/BlindAbilities\/\">Blind Abilities Page<\/a>, and the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/jobinsightsgroup\">Career Resources for the Blind and Visually Impaired<\/a>&nbsp;group<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<!--powerpress_player--><div class=\"powerpress_player\" id=\"powerpress_player_7751\"><audio class=\"wp-audio-shortcode\" id=\"audio-7307-3\" preload=\"none\" style=\"width: 100%;\" controls=\"controls\"><source type=\"audio\/mpeg\" src=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppUpdates.mp3?_=3\" \/><a href=\"https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppUpdates.mp3\">https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppUpdates.mp3<\/a><\/audio><\/div><p>https:\/\/traffic.libsyn.com\/secure\/blindabilities\/AppUpdates.mp3 Podcast Summary: iPhone101: Updating Apps Automatically or Take Control of What Apps Update When and Where Blind Abilities presents another episode in their&nbsp;iPhone101 Series.
