Hi, I use official WhatsApp from google play store and I notice a strange behaviour: whe I launch it the application triggers update of all android applications on the phone. That is a strange behaviour, has anybody a similar observation? And how to stop it? Cheers, Mariusz

do you mean app updates or just updating info - like status, feeds, etc. I get this when i open amy android app (after desabling the android support). for example i want to buy online ticket withmy transport app and get facebook notifications and new messages, without opening any kind of facebook app.

Yea I am experiencing the same issue - after opening whatsapp (with installed ShitPlay Services) i am getting update notifications of the Amazon Store...

Edit: Ok I now deactivated the notifications for Amazon Store - lets see if it is solved for me now. :D

If you have installed it from the Google Play Store I suppose you have Play Store installed - when you open it and go to its settings menu, there is a setting "allow automatic app updates" which you can disable.

Thanks a lot, such a simple solution and I have not thought about it!
