App Store updates

[ChrisN718]

I noticed this morning that some of my app updates in the App Store don't have that "open" or "update" button anymore.

Anyone else seeing this? It doesn't seem to affect the update but weird nonetheless

I reported this in an iOS 14.5 beta feedback about an hour ago. Thought it was just a beta bug, but I just looked at my iPad, (which is on 14.4) and sure enough...same issue.

Not really a bug or issue, just a change in the GUI.

You can stil go to each app's page to chose to update it; and there's still the (preferred) Update all-option.

Same here, apps still update though.

It is a bug. The buttons are missing from some apps but not others on my phone. Looks like a back-end issue that will be resolved. Occurring not just with the beta, by the way.

I noticed new update behavior today also. I usually wait until I have at least 5 apps to update and then do "Update All". Before today, each app that was updating had its own little circular graph showing the % downloaded before the option to open it came up. Was kind of fun to see this, but today none of that was there. Was surprised since I hadn't installed a new version of iOS.

Although I'm seeing "Update & "Open" now on my Mac and iPad & iPhone for new app updates, the same apps that seemed to be impacted during the time of this issue are still missing the "Open" in the App Store on all devices. Weird.. I'd assumed they'd eventually refresh or something. But, no..
