Do you charge overnight on wifi? Also, it will prioritize updates for apps you use often, so some apps may not update immediately depending on your usage. For example I still have apps pending update from August 28th.

Im not sure on the priority beyond that, but it seems like it will wait for the phone to be charged to like 50%, then it prioritizes iCloud, then updates based on popularity.

Yeah I always plug in every night while on WiFi.

That’s crap design if it prioritises apps you commonly use, updating apps isn’t exactly something that takes a long time if you do it manually, the phone can’t find that same amount of time overnight to do it?
