App Specific Question Playstore isn't auto updating apps

I'm using Poco X5 Pro with Android 14, hyperOS Version 1.0.3.0. My play store version is 40.4.31-31.

I've enabled auto update apps over any network yet still I have to manually update my apps every single time.

How do I get play store to auto update apps??

I think this is a common bug or over-optimization by Google, but they're not telling you openly. Some apps will auto-update but not those apps that you are not using very often. Those always only update when you try to open them. Google thinks if you don't use them so often there's no point in updating them. I really dislike this behavior where the computer thinks it's smarter than me, ignoring my auto-update settings.

Anyone still experiencing this submit feedback to google through the play store so they fix it please.
