How to Remove Updates from App Store (IOS)

How can I remove unnecessary updates from the AppStore in IoOS 8.3 iPad 2. I don't need all updates and are annoying to have them waiting to be installed. I did remove the badge icon but now I've to check all the time for an update I want to install. Is there a way to do this?

thanks, Alex

iPad 2, iOS 8.3, null

The only way to get rid of the updates is to do the updates. Developers release updates for a reason. Why do you think they're unnecessary?

iOS 8.3, which includes the Apple Watch app, takes up less space than the previous version. However, system updates are not seen in the Updates section of the App Store. There is no need to keep checking for an iOS update. They don't come out that often. There will also never be a version that doesn't have the Apple Watch app.


If you're talking about updates to apps which you'd see in the App Store app, again, the only way to remove an app from the lists of apps with an update is to date it.

I have given you an answer twice: you can't do that. The only way to remove an app from the list of updates in the App Store is to accept the update.
