How to schedule app updates to download overnight?

I have an iPhone 13 pro max. Why can’t you schedule purchased and free app updates to download overnight?


I would like to schedule app updates to happen overnight because being on Hughes satellite, our daily data isn’t enough to update all the apps. Our nightly data is more than twice the daily gig amount for some stupid reason.


Currently app updates seem to want to happen when I’m using my phone while it’s plugged in randomly during the day unless I have it set to manual, so I have to stay awake until 2:00 am or get up before 8:00 am and hope there is enough time to get all the backlogged apps updated.


I need to be able to schedule overnight from 2 am to 8 am only. .


Please add this as a feature.
