I found out I had 3 apps that hadn’t updated in a while even though I have “Automatically install new app updates” on. Two of them for more than a month(3 different updates have been released in this period). Does anyone have any idea of what’s going on here? Thanks.
*Have the latest iOS(18.5)

For Automatic App updates your device needs to be connected to the internet.
If you connect to Wifi, doesn't necessarily mean you are connected to the internet. --> nternet not available WiFi and Cellular … - Apple Community
I just had to manually install 21 updates that did not auto update. Nothing in my setting has been changed from the previous iOS versions. I double checked and the settings are all still the same. I also don’t have content and privacy restrictions turned on, so that can’t be the issue for me.
I have mobile data turned on
This is pretty obvious. None of the relevant settings are preventing apps from automatically updating. This is an OS issue, evidenced by the fact that other apps have been updating. Thank you.
How can I resolve automatic app update issues on iPhone SE?
