PSA for anyone annoyed by iOS 26.4 burying app updates a level deeper in the App Store: A long press on the App Store’s icon gets you a shortcut there.

An iPhone search screen is shown with app icons like Apple Store, App Store, Calendar, and Maps at the top. Below, there are various suggestions and apps like Safari and WhatsApp. A pop-up menu is open with options such as Search, Redeem, Updates, Purchased, Add to Home Screen, and Require Face ID. The time displayed is 9:30, and there are icons for battery, Wi-Fi, and cellular signal.

We can keep updating manually like the sickos we are. John Gruber gets it:

I update apps manually, because I like reading release notes from developers who take the time to document changes, and I also like reading “Bug fixes and performance improvements” over and over and over again from developers who do not.
