That's weird, isn't Google Play already updating apps without asking?
(QKSMS master race btw)
It depends on your settings.
I see. It seems it's not the out of the box setting but can be opt out.
My understanding is that yes, you are correct, it's auto-updated in the background.

Its on by default but you can turn it off. I did so because it takes a good chunk of battery life away when your phone out of the blue decides to start updating apps.
Believe there's a setting to have it only do updates when there's wifi available, which takes less battery.

Not clicking that sketchy link. Also it makes no sense to quote an entire message like that.
What's sketchy about https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en ?
That isn't what they posted, they obscured the url with a bunch of garbage text. I'm not bothering to check the url when the text looks like that.
Well, feel free to click on this link then: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/legalcode.en
(it's just a link to Google homepage - the point is that you really shouldn't trust the link text lol)
You've never heard of a Creative Commons license?
It's not 'sketchy' at all.
Actually you can just highlight the comment you're replying to before hitting the reply button, and the Lemmy web client will copy it down for you quoted.
I started doing that when I found out people were going back and changing the reply to me after I successfully countered it, to make my reply look incorrect or off-subject.
Basically, documenting the conversation at that moment of time, so my reply is not misrepresented later on.
