How to make sure all Android Play Store app updates get installed
Google's Android Play Store app has acquired a strange, annoying behavior about finding updates to install, where it will not always find some of the latest updates unless you force an additional search. Here is how that works.
- Run the Play Store app (a multicolored triangle pointed to the right).
- If at any point it displays an advertisement screen for anything, most likely Google Play Points, choose “No” or “Skip” or “Not now” or whatever bypasses the advertisement screen.
- Tap the round icon in the upper right, normally a lower case “a” on FSGW check-in tablets. That “a” comes from the first letter of the current account, which is “android#@fsgw.org”, where “#” is the FSGW tablet number.
- Tap “Manage apps & device”, which display a “Manage apps & device” page.
- If the page says “All apps are up to date”, do not believe it. Instead, tap “See recent updates” just below that.
- Tap the “Updates available” button in the row of buttons below the “Manage” tab.
- A “You're all set” icon and text will probably get displayed. Tap the “Check for updates” button below that.
- If it re-displays the same “You're all set” icon and text, now you can believe it, all available updates are installed, and you should exit the “Play Store” app.
- If it displays a list of apps with updates available, tap “Overview” near the upper left, then tap “Update all” below “Updates available”, then tap “See details” in the same place.
- You will see the updates gradually getting downloaded and installed. Once all the updates have installed, again tap the “Check for updates” button, and go back 2 steps here.
