If you want to do manual updates you do it in play store rather than the OS settings utility. That is buried under your account settings which isn't logically related.
I have bookmarked the play store update view as separate icon by long pressing the play store icon, then long pressing/dragging the my apps section to an own "app".
That way I can skip the store garbage and directly go click update all apps button.
I just tried on apple device s few weeks ago and it took me many minutes to find the listing where I can update installed apps and it was missing the update all button...
