Read the patch notes and see what’s changing. Usually it’s “squashing bugs”, but there could be a few new features you’d like in there.

Many developers (especially popular apps) like to go into great detail, like this…

lol I just checked and I had 26 pending app updates. Every one of them had about the same level of detail.
The only exceptions were the Wikipedia app and Voyager, both of which listed some new features.

There are maybe 3 of my ~50 apps that provide actual changelogs. All the others only write “bug fixes and performance improvements”, puns or other marketing pitches.
I disabled auto updates and only update if there are actual changelogs or the app doesn’t let me use it anymore without updating. But there have been too many automatic enshittifications for me to trust auto updates.
