Q: App Store Update lists do not clear after updating

After updating, the list of apps that needed the update remains listed.  I would like to clear the page after I update.  What can I do to resolve this?

    This is by design and different than the behavior in iOS 6 and before. This lets you see when an app was updated as the list is now broken into dates that any apps were updated.

    But what if I don't want this list?  I was happy just as it was.  If it must have a list, why can't it just be only the last update that I did?  So, what you're saying is there is no way to erase this and I am stuck seeing this growing list... no choice.  What about this minimal, simple IOS 7?

    As yet no one has provided a way to erase what is there. We haven't yet reached the end of a month ot see what might happen.

     

    Minimal and simple has to do with the graphic look of iOS 7, nothing to do with how apps function.

    hi there I agree with you. if it's not broke don't fix it there is no need for this ever growing list that you has a user can't get rid of and no one tells you it's going to change to this when you upgrade so you spend your time in and out of forums asking questions about it so annoying by Apple

    I just bought a iphone 5c and my update list keeps growing. I hate the ever growing list. Is there no way to clear the list?
