I like iOS 7 very much but would rather the App Store update history clear itself or maybe be just a link one can click. In previous versions clicking on Updates would poll only for new ones and/or tell you that you were up to date.

Wondering the same thing.. All I need is another list to have to sort through.....
I have a feeling we're out of luck on this score unfortunately. A friend of mine with an iPhone confirms that it appears to reach a maximum number of 10 entries and then refreshes. Mine has reached 10 items and am hoping that's the magic number...I guess I wont know until another update comes in.
I would prefer not to have to scroll through the list at all, however.
It will certainly hold more the ten, but may drop some off based on time (or time since update, not sure yet).
They are grouped by date (most recent first) and clearly indicate those that have been updated and opposed to those that haven't.
Thanks. I think I would like to see something in settings to turn that feature on or off.
Good idea, thanks.
Yep! I see the relevance of this feature if you choose to activate "auto update" in settings, so you can tell the moment you got screwed by a bad update, but that's about all it's useful for. Nobody cares when an app is updated if it works out and it's not like you can revert back to the previous version via this list if it doesn't! The only way you can do that is delete the app and re-install via iTunes as long as you've set that not to auto download app updates.
I say if you chose to activate "auto update" then this info is minimally useful at best. If you chose to go without it on your iOS device you are manually chossing to update and obviously know what you are doing and the update history list is nothing more than clutter. There should be a setting that lets you opt in or out for this info or they should make it so that it only shows this data if you chose to select "auto update".
My point exactly, thanks for the post.

Same here wish that there could be a setting somewhere to turn this option off...
As James Ward4 suggested above, give them feedback on it and something may be done if enough people submit objections: http://www.apple.com/feedback/
The list grows bigger by the day! I really see little point to having it as there is nothing one can do with it.
Already done feedback a few days ago... Just hoping some Apple Support personal maybe looking at this thread..
It'll be a long wait for that to happen I fear.
I would imagine that quite a few people have voiced similar concerns, so we can always hope they act on it and issue a revision in iOS7.1.
I agree whole heartedly, I just wrote to http://www.apple.com/feedback/ and voiced my opion and I would suggest that anyone that comes here do the same. Also, add your comments here or that you have written to them here for more support. I suggested that they simply add a clear button that would allow you to select certain ones and clear them or if you did not select any, the button would say Clear All. You may have a better suggestion, but make it known.
Thanks!
Just to say I sent in a feedback comment to Apple regarding this issue.
So did I, but since there isn't a way to provide feedback on the OS itself, I went with iPhone instead.
Anyway To Clear App Store Update History in iOS 7 ?
