I supposed to block or remove the automatic update of my applications Google Play, if it makes sense to think that an update to an application makes it better ... it's what you can perhaps ask.

In an ideal world it should be. Unfortunately it is not in reality. If you update an application, that application may be updated and new things that may please thee but also bad things that can motivate you to return to the version of the application that you had before.

How do I?

That is one of the most important reasons why you might want to disable the auto-update applications you have installed on your Android. To do that, all you have to do is go to the Play Store app on your Android, open the left side menu with a sliding from left to right, and choose Settings.

Once there you have to choose the Update option automatically "Automatically update apps only through Wifi". Finally, on the next screen select Do not update applications automatically (by default, the option is enabled automatically update apps only via Wifi because that is the most recommended).

Needless to say, this feature only applies to applications you've downloaded from Google Play. Does not apply to, for example, the APK an application which does not exist in Google Play- you found out there and installed.

You should consider that when disable automatic updating of applications, it is recommended that you frequently open the Play Store app and you check the "My Apps" section to check what applications have a pending update and consider upgrading if you should (must check the News on information section).

 

If it is one of the applications you use most and it seems perfect, you may want to remove the APK in the current version of the application that you have installed (using an application such as APK Extractor, available on Google Play), and having this APK as a backup in case, after updating, the new version of the application not like.

conclusion
Updating an application should generally be welcomed. Makes the current application in a different application (in another version, to be exact) and should always bring improvements in every way (including possible safety improvements here) and new features. Sometimes this can not be so and this is where you should turn off automatic updating of applications.

Important note: We do not recommend block, remove, deactivate or disable automatic updating of applications Google Play ... unless you know what you're doing, of course.
