#update prompt

Google Play Store will soon apply automatic update prompts specifically for those pesky, frequently crashing apps. Your phones or tablets running Android 7.0 and above will be prompted to update an app if it crashes in the foreground and a newer version of the app with a statistically relevant lower crash rate is available. The update prompt is generated by the Play Store (not by the app), thus even if the app crashes on startup or still keeps on crashing, the prompt is still shown. To determine the delivery of the prompt, Google will use certain thresholds, including analyzing user activity level using data from Android vitals and limiting the number of times the prompt can appear if a user declines to update the app. Do note that apps installed from alternative app stores or sources other than the Play Store will not receive these types of update prompts. The company said downloadable versions have significantly outpaced physical discs in recent years, prompting the shift to digital-only releases. The updated fee now applies to every InstaPay transaction made through the GCash app. While there is no minimum transfer amount, each transaction is still subject to a maximum limit of PHP 50,000, based on the app's updated Terms and Conditions.
