Prioritize downloads of app updates in iOS
Updating apps simultaneously makes iPhone management much easier. Once the process has started, the iOS system will download and install the latest versions of all the applications on your smartphone.
On the flip side, this mechanism is particularly long. Even more annoying is the system which chooses for you the applications which it will download first. If you have a whole bunch of apps or games, it could take forever..
What could be more frustrating than not being able to launch a blocked application in the download queue. To avoid this inconvenience, Apple has just launched a new feature to prioritize updates to your applications.
You can then ask your iPhone to update your messaging application, your GPS navigation system or your favorite social network. Please note that this device is currently reserved for only iPhones with the 3D Touch, namely the iPhone 6S and higher..
Prioritize the download of certain applications
To stop waiting for updates to launch the application of your choice, we will now see how to prioritize downloads on an iPhone. This procedure will put the most important applications at the very top of the queue.
- Open the App Store on your iPhone
- Click on the avatar icon
- Select in the menu the section Update all to start downloads
- Close Apple's app store
- Return to your iPhone home screen
- Leave a long press on the application you want to download first
- A context menu will open
- Choose the option to prioritize the download of the application
- Repeat the same procedure for all the applications that seem to you to have priority
Your application will start downloading as soon as the current installation has finished. Note that the 3D Touch menu also offers you the possibility of suspending or pausing an update. This can be very useful especially when an application refuses to launch.
