By default, apps are updated automatically when the following constraints are met:
- The device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
- The device is charging.
- The device is idle (not actively used).
- The app to be updated is not running in the foreground.
Google Play typically checks for app updates once a day, so it can take up to 24 hours before an app update is added to the update queue. After an app is added to the queue, it will be automatically updated the next time the constraints above are met.
