This has started showing up for some reason, suggesting that instead of updating my apps in the background, Google Play is waiting until I open an app to check for updates. Is there like a setting somewhere I need to change?

    I’m guessing android app store does some kind of staggered update schedule but the apps themselves got code that demands it always be on the latest version. Just guessing, mind you.

    Play store, profile picture, settings, network settings, auto update apps.

    There are options for auto update over wifi only, or over data,

    Your phone needs to be connected to WiFi or data(depending on your settings) and needs to be idle and charging. Playstore will slowly auto update your apps as long as your phone is not too hot for auto-updates. This process takes a long time.
