Is there a way to set a time frame for updating applications?
This is a great question, it is possible to do.


Install Tasker (not free)
Install Tasker plugin AutoInput (not free)
Set auto input to open play store, tap the drawer, tap updates &amp; update all.
Note, sometimes for an update a dialogue pops up saying 'this app needs new permissions' you could get autoinput to tap accept or skip a couple of times in case it does pop up.
