iPhone Does automatically update Apps use more battery?

I have that featured disabled for the past 2 years as I tend to manually update my apps by opening the App Store app, if I was to enable automatic app updates, will that use more battery on a day to day basis?

No, I think the update occur when plugged in and screen is off, at least for the most part.

Anybody else can vouch whether this is indeed correct?

Pretty sure they update when charging. I’ve never seen them update throughout the day.

Doesn't matter really - my apps never automatically update, ever.

Because they don’t - I have to manually do it.
