Well that's a issue, for sure.
I absolutely NEVER allow Google Play to just update my apps when it wants to. That's insane. That would be constantly updating all day everyday. There is no need for daily software updates. There is no need for weekly updates. It's borderline ridiculous.
One can argue "but muh security" all they like and go right ahead and do it if you need that validation in your life but when 10 apps are in que for an update 24/7 around the clock it's almost suspicious.
Sure, banking and work related apps. Set those for auto-update.
The rest, I'd manually do it monthly.
