Apps auto-updating even though auto-update is disabled? - Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 'auto-update apps' disabled in the Play Store but I've received notifications to say that Facebook and Instagram have been 'successfully updated' when I haven't instigated it.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is there something else I need to disable?
Thanks

Cause for missing protected apps on dev

Has anybody actually looked into this? Is the market app different? Is it something that the market app is picking up from the phone and sending to google - if so what? Is it filtered by the market app or by the server?

Is it my phone, or is the market messed up???

I cant see a lot of my normal apps on the market including facebook, beejive, pandora, shazam etc... Can anyone else see these apps? If so, how would I go about fixing it?

[Q] Facebook App spying on us, any hacked version solve the problem?

The latest update to Facebook brings one big issue.
Apparently Facebook now is capturing audio from our smartphone, whether we like it or not.
Has anyone here hacked Facebook to not allow this? Or does anyone know a way to block Facebook from doing this?

Just use Xprivacy.
if you don't really care about notifications too, you can Greenify Facebook to prevent it from running or doing anything when you aren't actively running it.

How to stop Facebook Services without root?

Hello,
on the S6 it's possible to disable the Facebook app, but there are two services still running and make updates outside the Google play store, so even if I have disabled auto updates, Facebook does it!
The services are called
.com.facebook.appmanager
.com.facebook.system
How can I stop these services from starting up without root?
Thanks for your help
You simply can't
Since these are system services and anything system related cant be deactivated without root.

use package disabler pro app from play store. Let's you disable these as well as Samsung bloatware.
I force stopped everything with Facebook in the name (4 things), unchecked notifications and cleared data. It didn't come up in my update list. But if it comes back I'll get the package disabled app.

Question GMS Notifications

Hello,
Does anyone know how to fix the delayed google services notifications? I have tried everything but they still came late, I have a google pixel and they came on time compared to my Fold 2 this happens when the device is locked but when I unlock it the notifications start popping out.
I have tried all these settings:
Disabled Battery->Settings->Scenarios->Sleep mode
Enabled Apps->Gmail->Autostart and Changed Battery saver mode to unrestricted
Enabled all notifications for the App in question
Rooted my devices and disabled Doze with the Doze off app
ran adb shell dumpsys deviceidle disable
Nothing has worked for me , any other idea what I could do?
Thanks
I don't know what GMS notifications are but I was going insane not getting gmail notifications when my phone screen was off as well, go back and look at my posts in this forum about it.
the app DozeOff fixed it for me from the Fdroid store. If you are rooted that should fix it. I think a combo of that app plus using the systemizer magisk module and making apps I was having problems with notifications system apps fixed it, dozeoff alone may fix it if you want to try that first.

GMS = Google Mobile Services, I have the dozeoff app installed but that alone didn't fix the issue, I'll try systemizing the apps.
Thanks!!
GMS is a framework, not an app. There are two basic frameworks on Android devices - GMS (Google Mobile Services) and HMS (Huawei Mobile Services). These frameworks must be installed on your device for apps from those respective infrastructures to work. GMS is backed into the firmware on Xiaomi CN ROMS, but it is not turned on by default. Search "Google" in your settings and you find "Google Basic Services". Turn it on. After that step, if you are not receiving instant notifications for particular Google apps, such as Gmail, you may want to use a different app. Email notifications using the Gmail app are notoriously slow on this device, as are Google email accounts accessed using the Outlook email app. The workaround for delayed Gmail notifications is to use an app called Edison Mail. Gmail accounts set up in Edison Mail get instant notifications. What other Google apps are you experiencing delayed notifications on?

Thank you for the clarification. The "Google Basic Services" has been enabled all the time and the issue persists, I also have notification issues with the Google Home app they are not arriving on time(I have Nest Security cameras) of course that app also uses the GMS framework for push notifications.
Thanks
Have you put your phone in developer mode and disabled optimizations?

Where to find this optimizations menu?
Go to main Settings on your Xiaomi device. Scroll down to find About Device/Phone and tap on it. Locate MIUI Version and tap several times on it. After that, you will get a message "You're now a developer!" on your device screen. Go back into Settings and you will now see Developer Options. Scroll down to the bottom of those options and toggle off Miui Optimizations.
