When my iPhone connects to the internet, an average of four apps automatically download on my device. What is causing this issue and how can I stop it?
iPhone 5, iOS 7.0.4
Not sure if you've already figured it out, but perhaps for others. Next to switching off the automatoc downloads under App Store settings, switch off the ability to download apps on mobile data. So go to " settings > mobile data > app store " switch it off. That will prevent heavy downloads on your plan. Good luck!
Check "Settings > iTunes and App Stores > Automatic Downloads > Apps" and turn this off
I've just got a new iPad, got 8 updates available on app store, after like 5 min there were 4 updates. It was when I realised that it was automatically downloading stuff, so i disabled it from iTunes and App Stores settings as you wrote. The problem is that even though I disabled everything, every time I reconnect this iPad to wi-fi it continues to download because from 4 available updates it went down to 2. And somehow it managed to download GarageBand update, that's 600mb off of my monthly 8gb!! Why does it keep downloading from app store?
How do I stop apps from automatically downloading every time I connect to the internet?
