You can do it via the Context menu which you can get when you swipe down on the app Store icon, but you can also do this:
1. Double tap the App Store icon so the App Store opens, it will “today, Sunday, September 29 heading”, of course the date changes 2. Flick right once and you hear “My Account”, if there were say 3 updates, you would hear ‘My account, 3 updates available button”. 3. Double tap on the My Account button, you are now on the same screen where you are if you select “Show context menu” from the rotor and double tap on “Updates”. For me what I describe above is quicker and involves less gestures, here is an exact listing of the gestures involved in both methods, I assume you have located and put focus on the App Store app either way: The rotor method: 1. Flick up once to Show context menu 2. Double tap 3. Swipe right 4. Swipe Right 5. Swipe right 6. Swipe right, you are now on Updates 7. Double tap, you are now on the Updates screen and you can touch just above the home button or near the bottom of the screen to find the updates section. If instead of swiping right 4 times you touch the screen about at the level of the volume buttons and you land on Updates first try it is this: 1. Flick up once to Show context menu 2. Double tap 3. Touch the screen about at the level of where the volume buttons are, Voiceover says “Update”, if you are lucky to land on it 4. Double tap, you are now on the Updates screen and you can touch just above the home button or near the bottom of the screen to find the updates section. The other method I described above: 1. Double tap on the App Store 2. Swipe right once to “My account” 3. Double tap, you are now on the Updates screen and you can touch just above the home button or near the bottom of the screen to find the updates section. You can see that even if you land on “Updates” when you touch the screen it takes one less gesture to get to the updates screen if you simply open the App Store and flick right once to My account. Previously we had to open the App Store, locate the Updates tab at the bottom and double tap it, now you simply flick right once to My Account instead of locating the Updates tab and double tap. I tried asking SIRI things like “Open Updates”, Open App Updates”, “Go to My account”, “Go to App store Updates” and “Go to App Store My account”, but either it didn’t know at all what to do or it simple opened the App Store where again I landed on the Today screen and I had to flick right once to My Account so no way to use SIRI unless maybe you could make a Shortcut which would open the App Store and go to My Account and you could launch it with a phrase like “Go to my app updates”. Regards, Sieghard to “Show Context menu”, then double tap, then flick right 4 times to get to Updates and double tap it (or touch the screen where you may land on Updates right away”. If you use the method I describe above you double tap on App Store (gesture From: [email protected] <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Michael McKay Sent: Saturday, September 28, 2019 4:51 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: App updates: Hi Richard: don’t worry about messaging me back I think I just figured it out you do it through the main screen where all your apps are at instead of going in I just figured that out I reread the top paragraph of your email. Thanks much it’s so much appreciated now that I know what to do. Not having any trouble with the battery power as yet that I know of because I’ve got it on charge but everything else except for a little bit of a new orientation to some areas is a little different other than that it’s not too bad just gonna take some time getting used to thanks again my friend and all the best.

Then, flick right until you get to update, and double tap. There is extra stuff on this screen, but touch around the middle of the screen and do a three finger swipe down to get it to refresh the screen. Since iOS 12, it has helped to refresh the screen for any updates that might not show at first. Then, flick right through to where it says available updates. Then, you will find the update all and a number of apps that have updates. You can either update all, or go through and update only the ones you want by selecting them individually. HTH, Richard Always look out for #1, and be careful not to step in #2. On Sep 28, 2019, at 4:31 PM, Michael McKay <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: Hi! Folks: I just downloaded the new iOS 13.1.1, and noticed that there is a difference in the area where are you update your apps when you go into the settings app on your main screen of your iPhone. I find it a bit confusing as there was an indication where you could tap on for updates which would give you a list of what apps need to be updated. My question is, how do you know which apps to update as I find new apps that are not on my phone yet are mixed in with the ones that possibly need to be updated. It seems that the original update section has been either changed or removed and amalgamated into a different set up. Can someone please give me some information on this so I do not download apps that I do not need or want. Thank you so much in advance. Michael G. McKay BA,‘ 05.
