    Find the option marked "Apps were auto-updated"
    .
    It says, "Notify when apps are automatically updated". When an app is automatically updated, we will receive a notification telling us about that process. This option is currently selected. We can tell because the adjacent box is a turquoise color and has a white checkmark inside.
