This policy controls how installed managed apps are updated on Android Enterprise devices. You can restrict the ability of users to allow automatic updates of apps on their devices. If you allow users to control automatic updates for apps on their devices, they set automatic app update policies in the managed Google Play store.

To add or configure this policy, go to Configure > Device Policies. For more information, see Device policies.
