The interface for accessing updates to apps in the iOS App Store has changed in 26.4. From the App Store, you go to My Account, then activate the Updates button.

@DavidGoldfield Thanks for the, update! hahaha

[austinnix@dragonscave.space]

@DavidGoldfield or you can continue to triple tap the App Store icon, then choose updates.

[davidgoldfield@allovertheplace.ca]

@austinnix And so you can, or you can use the double tap and hold. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

[austinnix@dragonscave.space]

@DavidGoldfield welcome. A lot of different things can be accessed via the triple tap menu, especially on the Apple apps. Some other apps have them too.

[davidgoldfield@allovertheplace.ca]

@austinnix Yep, that's true. I admit I don't think to access features using that method but it's nice to know it's there. Thanks again for that shortcut.

@DavidGoldfield Finally. I hated having the updates display in the little account section, made no sense.

[robini71@dragonscave.space]

@DavidGoldfield I have seen that behavior for a while now I'm not clear on what's new?

[robini71@dragonscave.space]

@DavidGoldfield I'm also still able to triple tap on app store, select updates and then get to the offered updates that way. I just tested it to be sure before writing.

[davidgoldfield@allovertheplace.ca]

@robini71 In my case, I didn't have to double tap on an additional updates button in the Account screen before 26.4.

[robini71@dragonscave.space]

@DavidGoldfield How strange, I always did

[mfeir@mstdn.social]

@DavidGoldfield Not a bad change. It declutters the "my account" area. They've been doing that kind of thing a lot over the past while.

[lino0876@mstdn.social]

@DavidGoldfield You are correct sir. I noticed this in the public beta. I was a bit confused at first.

[ppatel@mstdn.social]

@robini71 @DavidGoldfield You still don't. If you've set to get and install automatic updates, they'll eventually show up without having to press that button.

[robini71@dragonscave.space]

@ppatel @DavidGoldfield Perhaps that is the difference. I never ever have automatic updates enabled.

[cristobalm@m.ai6yr.org]

@DavidGoldfield I always just triple tap on the app icon and select update from the pop-up menu. Still works with the latest update.

[mcourcel@allovertheplace.ca]

@austinnix @DavidGoldfield Wait you can triple tap? Totally making a podcast by that name. Lol!
