How to perform an App update?

[pstein]

Assume that I received a notification that App XXX has an update available. This event is indicated by a tiny icon in the notification area in the upper left corner of the Home Screen.

At first I swiped away this entry/notification icon.

Later I decided to install the update anyway.

How can I trigger the update process?

open google play. Tap the icon at top left and tap "my apps". Top of the list will be apps with updates waiting. Open the app and tap "update".
I always read reviews for "latest version" and "this device only" first incase its a bad update :thumbup:

Just go in to the app that provided the update notification. For example, if it was Play Store, open the app, press the overflow (3 vertical dots) button, and then select My apps. Scroll to the app in question, and when you press it, there should be an Update button. The process is similar for other app stores (e.g., for Amazon, after selecting "My apps," swipe left to get to the Update tab on the far right).
