Updating Apps

Whenever you access the App Store, it checks for updates to apps you’ve installed. The App Store also automatically checks for updates every week. The App Store icon shows the total number of app updates available.

If an update is available and you access the App Store, the Updates screen appears immediately. App updates are downloaded and automatically installed when you choose to update them.

App upgrades are new releases that can be purchased or downloaded through the App Store on iPhone or the iTunes Store on your computer.

Update an app:

1At the bottom of the screen, tap Updates.

2Tap an app to see more information about the update.

3Tap Update.

Update all apps: At the bottom of the screen, tap Updates, then tap Update All.

If you try to update an app purchased from a different Apple account, you’re asked for that account ID and password in order to download the update.

Syncing Purchased Apps

When you connect iPhone to your computer, iTunes syncs apps you download or purchase on iPhone to your iTunes library. This lets you access the downloads on your computer and provides a backup if you delete apps from iPhone.

Downloaded apps are backed up the next time you sync with iTunes. Afterwards, only app data is backed up when you sync with iTunes.

Apps are synced to the Apps list in your iTunes library. iTunes creates the list if it doesn’t exist.
