I disabled auto-update on my iPad because forced updates destroyed a couple dozen apps I used to use (e.g. app removed because it was abandoned and didn’t support some new api that apple deems a must, or the app went full on SAAS and just doesn’t work unless I subscribe to a monthly fee even if I was using it for a single purpose.)
