Title says it all....I have had multiple iPhones, iPads, years of iOS and iPadOS updates, and it NEVER updates apps automatica;y from the App Store. I just go in and check it every day or two, and there are always numerous updates from more than a day old to update. I have toggled the App Updates/App Downloads/In-App Content switches (left on), and my devices are on power, and locked every night.
