Something is off about the Android app update process when there is only one update vs several. See if you can spot the difference.
When there is only one app to update:
1. Swipe down and select the update notification.
2. Select the name of the one app that is to be updated.
3. Select "Update".
4. Select "Accept and Install".
When there is more than one app to update:
1. Swipe down and select the update notification.
2. Select "Update All".
The first case is also what you must do if an app's requested permissions change.
I'm just surprised that the "Update All" option only appears for more than one update at a time. It would be just as easy to have a similar button for single app updates, and it would save me manually distinguishing between apps whose permissions have changed and individual apps that just happen to have an update now.
It's not that big a deal. I mean, it's two extra taps to update one app as opposed to many, which seems backwards, but it's still workable. But the habit I find myself in lately is to put off single updates until another one comes along to do at the same time. Because of those extra taps, it doesn't seem like it's worth installing updates when there's only one app to do.
