Automatic update is a great feature which Apple introduced on iOS 7. When turning on automatic app updates, it automatically updates to the new version of any apps when connected to Wifi and cellular data. This is great for most users to stay up-to-date without manually doing anything.
But some users like to stay to the previous version and always want to disable automatic downloading app updates on iPhone/iPad due to some reason.

Here’s a simple steps on How to disable automatic app updates on iPhone/iPad and iPod touch running iOS 10 or later or below
