I remember before when I had to update apps, I had to update them with the same account I downloaded the app for example, Canada post is a Canadian app so I had to sign out from my Us account sign in with my Canadian account just to update the app. Now no matter what account am sign in, the app will update even if I'm not sign in with the account I initially downloaded the app... Frankly I find it way better like that...

Anyone who had the same experience? Is apple loosing up?

I thought it's always been that way? Anyway, when I update apps since I have three US accounts and a UK one, when I hit update, it just prompts me for the password.

There's really no reason for Apple to block usage of multiple accounts in other countries. They're still winning profits no matter what. Developers are already smart enough to have country restrictions on streaming apps anyway.

I have a "my country" and US store accounts.
When I want to update US apps I have to sign in with the US account info.
So, no, for me it's not automatic. Wish it was.
Just tried on iTunes on Mac, btw. Never on my iDevices.
