iOS - Cancel Update All in App Store I have turned off automatic download of app updates. I open the App Store and press Update All. I realize it's going to take too long or I am on the wrong data connection. I just want to stop the update all command. For now, I don’t see any way to do so. I tried turning off Wi-Fi and data. That stops the download, but leaves all queued apps for the update in an unavailable state.

Is there a way to stop all or is it just racing and press stop on each queued app for update?
Currently, there is no one button way to cancel or stop all the updates started by pressing the "Update All" button, maybe in a future release of iOS we can have a Cancel All or Pause all. Submit your feeback to Apple, here.

The current solution is to manually stop updating each app that was started updating:


First turn off your data if you are concerned with burning through metered data. Switch your iOS device into Airplane mode via Control Center
Open the App Store app, switch to the "Updates" tab.
Then tap on the download progress circle for each app that is waiting to update.
