Auto-updates are great except in the rare cases where they aren't at all. Picking up my phone in the morning to recognize that it lost half its battery in the night due an extensive auto update and being left in the cold with a 10% battery (instead of 60%) isn't that great.

Beside that I think virmundi above has his points, and I agree with him. App updates are not instantaneous.

As of iOS 8, apps will only update automatically when the phone is plugged in to charge and connected to WiFi.

i think the default setting for new android releases is only update on wifi and plugged in.

I looked, and you can tell it to only update when on wifi, but the Play Store has no setting that I could find to only update when plugged in.
