Automatic app updates on your device

This support article explains how to manage automatic app updates on your device.

In your device settings, you can choose to automatically download app updates when they become available or only when you’re connected to Wi-Fi or to download and install them manually.

To make sure you’re always using the most recent version of the My Vodafone app, we recommend turning on automatic updates.
