android app updates

Anonymous

Hi, i have an o2 sony xperia z phone and i'm not sure if my phone is receiving android app updates from the Google play store, like the new facebook app with the new user interface, my sister and partner have received the facebook update but i haven't? And also my sister and partner again received an update for the youtube app but i didn't? But when i checked the current version it was 5.5.27 on the play store but when i checked my partners phone it was a higher version? But when i check facebook it said it varies for device... But i checked the reviews for the facebook app for my device and everyone received the new facebook user interface update but me?

I know it's alot i'm talking about but if anyone could highlight how android app updates work that would be great as it's very frustrating waiting for app updates to come when maybe they won't come at all...

Some updates are actually backward steps. Facebook n particular was far better in previous versions. They seem now to update weekly but in actual fact are trying to solve the issues with the 'modern' version.

People are complaining that Facebook is forcing a user to download the messenger app.

I believe so but I already use Messenger which is ok. But to get back on thread, normally all apps will update automatically if they are set to do so, though a reboot will often kickstart it.
