I am out of town and staying where there is little access to Wi-Fi, so automatic updates to my apps are eating up my data. Then when I have a strong signal, I can't get to updates. How can I limit updates to Wi-Fi only? GalaxyS5 on android 6.0.1

Open the Play Store app, tap the three lines in the upper right-hand corner, scroll down to Settings, tap Auto-Update Apps and change it to either do not auto-update or to only auto-update over wi-fi.

You're welcome.

And I just realized there's a typo in my earlier post; the three lines are in the upper LEFT-hand corner.

Trablyn, we want to help you manage your data allowance. You can access Settings in Google Play to restrict your phone to only update applications when there is a Wi-Fi connection available.
