Appstore doesnt show that apps have available/pending updates

no i dont get stuff from any other place than App store


Well when you open appstore, you see a searchbar, your apple-id picture, under that the word “discover” and links with searchphrases ready, and below that the word “suggested” and a bunch of apps, for example instagram.


lets call it appstore-startpage ! If I want to see more of the instagram app and i tap it, i come to the, what ?! App store instagram page !? Or as i did, i dont know, called it something like the instagram store/Shop inside App Store…


Anyway


you can browse around in appstore and just as on the startpage of App store you see apps showed everywhere in different assortments and categories, and the ones that you have installed displays “open” instead of “get” as apps you havent tried do, or “update” when available , But when i come across apps i currently use, and it says open but i click to go see that apps page in App Store, then it shows that a UPDATE IS AvAILABLE a second later


i have a screenrecording where you see it happen, here https://youtube.com/shorts/YFm_yGYtiV4?si=CG-N_rqhv8npIKzh. Its short maybe 30 seconds

Yes, if you have automatic updates enabled, I believe that's what you see. The store was "planning on" downloading the update soon so it hadn't notified you but, now that you're there... Sort of like when you drop by a co-worker's office and they say, "Oh, I was going to talk to you about the Zebra project at the meeting this afternoon but, since you're here, let's talk about it now".

What do you mean by "in their own appstore-store"? The only place you should be downloadning apps from is the official App Store.


If the App Store doesn't show any pending updates it's because there aren't any. If you have automatic updates turned on, the App Store app will not notify you of pending updates. It will simply download them then next time it downloads updates.

It's not at all clear what that sentence (?) means.

Yeah lets do that.

lets be VERY specific. Explain what you mean with your last comment, EXACTLY what do you mean?!


did you watch the video, well of course you did, and now I hear a bullstory about “they where planning”


first you pretend like you couldnt even figure out what i talked about, pretend-missunderstand so you can accuse me for getting software on thirdparty platforms
