Automatic app downloads missing

I actually used to be an iOS support person and am horrified to discover that with iOS 14, I've lost control of my automatic app installs. The button to disable those in the settings is completely gone. I don't WANT things I install on my AppleTV on my phone. I don't comprehend what could possibly make sense about moving or removing this but does anyone know where it's gone if it's still in settings? I am desperate to make this stop.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hello Raantuva,


It sounds like you want to turn off automatic downloads on your iPhone, is that right? We'd love to provide some information.


Just to confirm, if you go to Settings > App Store > is "Apps" enabled under the "AUTOMATIC DOWNLOADS" section? If so, is the switch to manage that setting missing altogether, or is it grayed out?


You can find more information about how to manage your App Store settings under the "Change your App Store settings" part of this page: Manage App Store purchases, subscriptions, settings, and restrictions on iPhone


Thanks!
