How does Play Store update? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm stocked by noticing https://play.google.com doesn't have Play Store app that connects to https://play.google.com for downloading and updating apps.
Since https://play.google.com doesn't have Play Store app, how does Play Store app update itself? Does the update come from other channels?
Thanks?

Hey ...hi...
It updates itself in background when you turn on mobile data if the update is available .....
You can see in network meter ....
You dont use data but meter shows you are using...

No, I'm asking the source of the update. Is it from Play Store or somewhere else? If it's from Play Store, why cannot I find it?

It has source other than playstore...
It cannot be appear in playstore
....
You can only notice when you have Internet Speed Meter...

Hi there,
The Google Play Store app is frequently updated in the background, without you ever realizing it. Not sure about the source of this update but it gets updated after a time interval. Google even provides you option to force Play store to grab the latest version. But, source of update neither disclosed in app nor in the guidelines.
Thanks

[Q] Google play no longer showing tablet apps?

As of recently, I've noticed that the play store no longer has tablet spptlight, or even show which apps are made of tablet.
I used to be able go see "Designed for phones", but now nothing at all.
Does this mean Google doesnt care anymore?
Nobody?

Unfortunately, its still the case.
This is not an issue for others? I feel as if Google abandoned tablet owners.

[Q] Updating Apps

I've recently realised that apps I've downloaded outside of the Google play store (Apks from Internet) , but are in the play store market don't auto-update, the playstore doesn't even give me the ability to update them. This might be quite blatant, but is there a way to update my APKs from the Google play store, which have not been downloaded from the Google play store, or is the only option to manually downloaded updated versions from the Internet, thanks.
To update with the PlayStore they have to be gotten from the PlayStore. They don't update outside apps due to many security issues and no way to link them.

App keeps updating from Google Play

I have this app which I originally downloaded from the play store but it quit working with an update so I downloaded the earlier version from APK mirror, I didn't think it would update since it wasn't registered to the play store but no matter what I do it decides it wants to update from the play store anyway.
Things I have tried
1 not allowing auto update (for the app) in google play
2 deleting app from my google account
3 detaching from market using titanium backup
I've run out of things to try so any help would be appreciated.
(The app is WifiN by Wako. B)

maybe u can enable do not auto update from setting or the app has a auto-update feature itself.

It's simple. Just re-sign the apk. It will no longer see it in the market for updates

I have a few apps that for one reason or another I refuse to update (most are due to MD) and it's annoying to have them in my update list.

possible to prevent an app from updating even in wifi? hide from play store?

Is it possible to prevent updating an app through play store, even with the update all button accidentally pressed?
Sort of hiding a specific app from play store, preventing updates on mobile internet, wifi internet etc.

yes, you would need to resign the apk with test keys so play store has no link for the apk

Google Play - disable autoupdate.

Hi all dear XDA users.
I have a problem with the Play Store. I need to disable the auto update of the Play Store itself (not to be confused with excluding application updates). If anyone knows a way and would be able to share it, I would be very grateful.

Play store settings/network preference/automatically update apps.
I am not talking about updating the application via the Play Store, but about disabling the auto-update of the Play Store Application itself.

It seems to me that it's the same thing or else put restrictions on the play store by prohibiting Wifi and data, by doing this you will no longer have any updates.
