Hey everyone, I'm really frustrated because my Android phone keeps automatically downloading random mobile games, even though I've disabled auto-updates in the settings. Does anyone know why this is happening? I could really use some help!

It sounds like what you're experiencing is related to the Play Auto Installs service. This is a feature where Google Play might download apps automatically, even if auto-updates are off. You can disable this service using ADB commands, but it requires a bit of technical know-how.

FrustratedUser99: I donโ€™t understand ADB. I just want my phone to stop downloading things I didn't ask for! It's really annoying.
