Why does App Store require my password in order to update each & every app?

Hi,

Every time I want to update an app in the App Store it requires me to re-enter my password each time, even though I have it set for "Require after 15mins."

(Settings > Apple ID > Media & Purchases > Password Settings > Require after 15 minutes)

Is there a setting that is buried some else that I am missing???

I don't want to have to use the "Update All" option. (I have over 100 apps)

Cheers

It sounds like you have the correct setting per: Require a password for App Store and iTunes purchases - Apple Support

If you still have problems:

Contact Apple. Click here --> https://support.apple.com/choose-country-region Select your country, then a product. If you don't see one that handles your issue then keep experimenting with selections until you reach one that gets you a chat session or a telephone call and get the representative to redirect you.

or:

Contact Apple for support and service --> "See a list of Apple phone numbers around the world."
