With iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, apps and games that you download from the App Store are automatically updated by default. You won't see notifications about updating your apps. But you can also update apps manually. For example, if you want to force an update, you can update an app manually.
Many applications in Mac OS X attempt to automatically load like this on login, Skype is another common example of an auto-starting app that can be managed the same way through Login Items. Some other apps will attempt to load when a device is connected too, like Photos app opening when an iPhone or camera memory card is attached to the Mac.
If you prefer to manually update all your apps, you can turn off automatic updates.
Stop apps opening on startup on Mac Select the Apple menu and System Preferences. Select Users & Groups and then the Login Items tab in the top center. The list of enabled apps will appear in the center pane. If there is a particular app that keeps opening automatically, you can quickly change this from your Dock, assuming the app is there permanently or as a recently-used app. 1) Right-click or hold Control and click the app’s icon. 2) Go to Options in the pop-out menu. 3) If Open at Login is checked, click it to uncheck it.
When you download an app on one device, the app isn't automatically installed on your other devices. But if you want apps that you purchase to be downloaded on all of your devices, you can turn on Automatic Downloads.
