I feel that this is a dark-pattern to force users to enable automatics updates.
- JBiserkov 7y agoThey just needed the space previously occupied by "Updates" to promote their "Arcade"
- xattt 7y agoClearly, the solution would be to place Arcade under Profile. Easily accessible!
- endorphone 7y agoiOS 13 defaults to automatic app updates. How in the world is that a "dark pattern"? I get that people got accustomed to manual updates [1], and some illusion that this gave them some control, but from a rational evaluation it makes no sense. [1] - I remember when Google first added enabled automatic app updates and one of the most common retorts, including on here, was "can you say bricked" and similar nonsense.
- ascagnel_ 7y agoiOS updates apps automatically; system updates still require explicit user approval. I think it 's a decent trade-off, given that the options are "don't update", "update now", and a default of "update overnight, when/if the device is plugged in". More stuff should allow for the latter option.
