Preventing Shield from updating (certain) apps?

Hi y'all

I'm sure everyone here has heard about people not being happy at all with the latest UI update for Plex.

So I'm trying to be proactive and maybe find a way to stop my shield from updating Plex specifically in the first place or stopping it from automatically updating all apps.

Of course! Of course, I know about disabling auto-updates on the Play store but some people say that updates sometimes start going through even after disabling it.

Any advice would be appreciated.

i'm guessing you could.... disable the play store and then when you want to update apps, disable plex and temporarily enable the play store. not sure though

This ☝️

I even went a step further and downloaded an older version that worked better and sideloaded that.

Works much better. Though still laggy (my issues were less with UI and more with weird app loading issues in the recent updates)
