Automatic Updates

Question

Automatic Updates

Just bought new iPad 9th Gen. Transferred all settings from old iPad. But when I go to App Store, tap on my picture/profile, and look for Upcoming Automatic Updates, there is nothing there. See Screenshot 1, attached. On my old iPad you can see "Upcoming Automatic Updates" right below "Personalized Recommendations" (Screenshot 2).

All the settings on both devices are the same. What do I do to get "Upcoming Automatic Updates" to show up on the new iPad?

The illustrated screenshot is exactly as expected for iOS/iPadOS 16.x. As with any App, they evolve over time - and available settings and settings categories will change.

There is nothing that you can configure or change that will influence visible settings of the current App Store App.

You will only see available updates when installed Apps have “an available update”.

When one or more updates for installed Apps are available to install, you should see something like this:

Thank you for your screenshot. It shows "Updated Recently" which is *exactly* what I'm looking for. My iPhone and my old iPad both run OS 16.5.1 so that doesn't explain the absence of "Updated Recently" or "Upcoming Updates" on my newest iPad.

That's exactly what I'm looking for. I have surmised that I'm not seeing Updates because the iPad is brand-new and no updates are yet available for any apps, but since I see updates pushed on a daily basis, I'm a little surprised. Presumably I will see Updates in the next day or two. If not, I will seek more answers from this community.

This is not helpful. My old iPad and my iPhone both run iOS 16 and the "Upcoming Automated Updates" shows up on those devices.

Anyone else have thoughts?

I’ve no idea what you are comparing with, but this is what I can see with all devices to which I have immediate access (6) that are running production-release iPadOS 16.5.1:
