Random apps download on my iPad

Hello,


Recently I have been facing a recurring problem, that is apps that I have purchased being randomly downloaded onto my iPad. However, I have checked that "Automatic Downloads" is off as I usually have my iPad on Low Power Mode at all times. The random automatic downloads also only occur when I decide to update my apps manually. Any advice to stop this from happening? Thank you.

Hi yvenmyre,


To clarify, is the "App Downloads" option under Automatic Downloads disabled under Settings > App Store? There are two sections that feature automatic downloads on that page. The section labeled Cellular Data > Automatic Downloads will only cover downloads on cellular data.


If you're noticing this behavior with updates as well, ensure that App Updates is also toggled off.


Let us know if that resolves the issue.


Cheers!
