Typically, most users on your Sony Xperia XZ3 download apps from the built-in Google Play Store.
This has the advantage that the apps are secure and checked and on the other hand that the Play Store updates the apps automatically.
However, if you do not want the Sony Xperia XZ3 to automatically download and install updates for your installed apps, you will need to disable the Auto-Update feature in the settings on your Sony Xperia XZ3.
We have described the procedure exactly in the following instructions:
