Updating all of your apps from the Play Store

If you need to update several apps at once manually in the Play Store you must cancel the Skype update.

  • Access the My Apps page in the Play Store overflow menu
  • Choose update all
  • Choose the Skype app and click the X to cancel the update

Alternatively you can update your other apps one by one
