As I have said, the aformentioned settings in background app refresh and in iTunes and App store, were, are, and always have been turned off. I don't know why it was that, sometimes, when I would check the updates tab in app store, I would discover that, occasionally, an app would have updated without my having authorized it to do so. It was not every app, and there seemed to be no rhyme or reason which ones did and which ones didn't. It has not happened in the last couple days, maybe it has stopped, I hope so. I probably will never know why it happened. Whatever.

Here is what Apple has to say about Background App Refresh: Use Background App Refresh After you switch to a different app, some apps run for a short period of time before they're set to a suspended state. Apps that are in a suspended state aren’t actively in use, open, or taking up system resources. With Background App Refresh, suspended apps can check for updates and new content. If you want suspended apps to check for new content, go to Settings > General > Background App Refresh and turn on Background App Refresh. If you quit an app from the app switcher, it might not be able to run or check for new content before you open it again. Whether apps update automatically or wait for you to initiate the update manually is entirely determined in Settings > iTunes and App Store. Note that there is a difference between turning on or off "Apps" and "Updates". The heading says "Automatic Downloads" and the explanation says "Automatically download new purchases, including free, made on other devices". The items you can turn on or off are this: Music Apps Books and Audio Books Updates Maybe this is a bit misleading although it's clear to me. The first 3 refer to automatic downloads for purchases made on other devices. For example, if you turn on all 3, Music, Apps as well as Books and Audio Books, then if you purchase any of these let's say on an ipad or in iTunes on your computer the items will automatically download to your iPhone. The last item, Updates, has nothing to do with purchases made on other devices since updates aren't purchases. You can trust me that if you make sure this is turned off then none of your apps will update automatically since "Automatic downloads for updates" is off. What I am not sure about is whether if you have Apps turned on and an app is updated on another device whether that will then also happen on your iPhone. I actually doubt it, but I'm not sure. This of course only applies anyways if you have Automatic Downloads for apps purchased on other devices turned on, if you want to be sure just turn off both Apps and Updates. As for Background App Refresh, you can also turn most of them off, it will save you some battery especially if you keep apps open in the app switcher. If you are like me and remove everything from the app switcher that you don't use all the time several times a day then it doesn't matter anyways, you can have Background App Refresh turned on for every single app and as long as said app is not actually running in the app switcher (suspended or not) nothing happens.

As I read it, that setting has to do with automaticly updating apps that were downloaded or updated on another device on more Apple ID. Background App Refresh allows apps already on my device to update in the background without my telling them to update. Either way, both settings ′were, and are, off, yet, for example, Voice Dream Reader updated yesterday automatically. I hope I can get this stopped, before something updates to an unaccessible version without my permission.
