Summary

• The bug concerns a third party app
• The bug concerns security
• The bug concerns privacy

The problem

Steps to reproduce

1. Run on a device with Apps v2
2. Install an old version of an app, downloaded from APKPure for example (tested with Facebook and Whatsapp)

What is the current behavior?

As a user, I'm not informed that there are new updates for the Apps.

What is the expected correct behavior?

After the reboot:

• a notification should appear so I'm informed there is updates for my apps
• if I open Apps and go into "Update" tabs, I see the list of Apps which wait for an update

Solutions

Workaround

At the moment, the updates itself seems working. When I search the App, the Update button appears. If I tap on it, it installs the update.
