Hello, tonight i discovered in Google play that some (half, maybe) of my installed apps have "enable auto-update" unchecked. I always had enabled auto-update over wifi, not remember to individually unchecked some apps. Maybe auto-update of apps is broken? I had about 20 app waiting to update, i had to do this manually.
Do you know something about that? It is ok to check them all? I was thinking that maybe those apps were installed by samsung store, or are in deep sleep, or something like that, but it's not the case for some of them...

Google getting a bit upity about it's own apps.
Anyone else notice that most of the Google apps no longer have the "Allow Automatic updating" option anymore. The apps now are automatically set to auto update without giving you the option to uncheck it.
The check box does pop up when the app is downloading, not sure if the selection stays or not. But even after unchecking it, you still don't see it as an option for the app.
Guess Google now knows best and would never push a bad/broken app out.
Update: It looks like they won't automatically install, but damn annoying for Google to force this and not give an option to not download, especially for those (non-sprint users) that could have limited bandwidth.
I noticed that too, it really is frustrating at times.
I'm trying to disable Play Protect in the menu of the play store and/or in Google services menu and the option to do so isn't there. I have a 918 on 10k. Also need help disabling my own personal Hate for Google button.
I came here from a Google search. The option has disappeared on my phone too. I only switched it off a few days ago.
Now it is back on with no option to turn it off. I can only guess Google have deliberately removed the option
My phone is Doogee BL5000 if that makes any difference. Android 7.0

Same. I Googled it, and my phone and Tab s2 tablet do not have the option Google says I should have. I do not even have the option in my phone setting-google services-security to disable "verify apps". I play around with Lucky Patcher sometimes and the play store calls it a virus but now I'm getting a 504 error updating Kaspersky. Everything else updated. I feel it's related.
Why turn it off?

I also use LP and there's an option to disable play protect within LP, then again we shouldn't talk about LP on xda.
I'm getting warnings about 2 apps, the one that can not be mentioned and SELinux Switch. I don't mind Google protecting us but they should at least allow us to disable it if we are confident.
There's no option to disable Play Protect any more. If you choose to "use anyway" you are still stuck with permanent explanation notifications and a permanent warning in Play Store
I can't find any information about this even from Google themselves
Hope somebody on this site can find a fix for this

I must have found the same info as you did. Are you having any issues updating any apps? There should be no reason my anti-virus won't update right now. I did just install xposed and activate the module for the "the app that cannot be named". I'll try to uninstall it when I get a chance.

No, not that I've noticed. Apps are updating as normal as far as I can tell. I do have Magisk and I'm having issues with getting SafetyNet status. Maybe that is affecting something

Check your play store settings. It showed up finally. I turned it off.
Thanks. Found the option and turned off
No option for me to turn off. Nothing in settings. Auto updated itself today.
Hi guys.
I thought it was strange not having updates for a while on the Store, so today I checked with a friend of mine and I saw that he had a lot of updates this morning, same apps that I use on my phone.
So I checked manually if there was any updates, but I had no items in the list:
As you can see, my list is completely empty (it says "No update avaible" or whatever... in italian), so I manually searched for an updated app. I tried Instagram and:
The app can be updated... how odd ("Aggiorna" is the italian for "Update"). So I've updated it and it appeared in the list of the up-to-date apps right after.
I erased the data of every single Google app, Google Play Services too, but I had no results.
How can I fix this? It's a pretty annoying thing.
Hi,
Did you use microG?
I have the same behavior with microG.
Or maybe you've restored apps with something like Titanium?
Once you updated the app on play store, future updates for this particular app will be shown on the update tab.
You made all the proper actions to try solving it, I guess.
In Titanium Backup, there's an option for linking apps to the Play Store. Maybe it can help.

Hi guys
So I have disabled a few apps but the phone activates Google Photos and YouTube on its own, mainly after reboot. I have disabled automatic app updates on Play Store but that didn't do it.
Anyone with an idea on why this keeps happening?
Thanks.
I feel ya ? ... Just keep trying til they stay disabled. it usually takes a few tries to disable it cause Google reactivates them but after a few times they stay deactivated. I only use Google maps but even then It'll even update itself even if you uncheck the do not auto update.
Are you not rooted? I take it that's the only reason not to just remove them entirely?
Last time I ran OOS I removed a bit more than this, but this is an old list I posted. I never had any problems anything in that post.

Does it take more than 10 times? I have disabled plenty already and it updates because of something related to the language of the apps (I have cleared app data but didn't help).

Nope, no root. The solution is very straight forward with root
Is anyone else having problems with Gmail (which comes pre-installed as a system app on the Mi 9T) not showing notifications until the phone is "awoken"?
I have accessed developer options, turned off miui optimization, I started Gmail and locked it to recents tab, I turn off battery optimization for Gmail & I manually turned on notifications. I can't autostart the Gmail app as it is a system app and apparently it automatically autostarts. But notifications still will not come through until I "wake" the phone by using it for something else.
I don't have issues with other "push" apps like WhatsApp - only Gmail.
Do others have the same issue? Can anyone recommend a fix?
Me too...
But it's not very often and sometimes affects other apps like WhatsApp etc as well.
Any fix to this?
Its a power saver issue. I think it's with all apps. If an app is awake you get notifications if you close it you get notifications for a while then its put to sleep. I noticed it with Instagram DMs and even though I set Instagram to be (no power restrictions) it still gets put to sleep! this is a really annoying issue! What's a "mobile" phone without instant notifications??
Same here. Gmail notifications are delayed for 2-20 minutes, but when I turn screen on (even without unlocking) notification shows immediately. Do you find any fix?
Just delete it as a system app through Xiaomi ADB/Fastboot tool and install the google play store version. In this way you can set off the power saving miui management

Already done, no effect.
My pixel didn't send a gmail notification until after turning the screen on too, it's probably not a device issue at least.

Off topic. For some other reason, I tried uninstalling Google photos via Fastboot tool and when I try to install from play store, it just gets enabled in a second; which means ultimately it didn't delete the system package; just hidden it.
Anybody came across the same issue?

Yes, I uninstalled GMail and install it from Google Play - installation was finished in second.
Set Gmail to auto start and make sure it has no battery savings mode applied to it
Gmail is a system app and there are no options to set it to start automatically or change battery restriction.
Removing it via abd does not work.
Btw is this a MIUI issue due to battery "optimization" or android in general?
