Auto Updates google play

I just published my application on google play a few hours ago. I'm not expecting it to show on google play in an instant of course. Maybe I have to wait for 24 hrs.

The thing is I remember I saw this but not sure where, cause it's not in here http://developer.android.com/tools/publishing/versioning.html and not sure if it's true. Does google play notifies all the user who downloaded my app through notification of course everytime I update my application on google play by changing the version code higher than the previous?

For example from versioncode = 1 to versioncode = 2? Do google do this or do I have to programmatically notify the user if theres and update? Thanks!

How do I turn off automatic updates on Google Play?

Open the Play Store and tap your profile picture on the top right. Go to Settings, select Network preferences, and go to Auto-update apps. Select Don't auto-update apps and tap DONE.

Why isn't Google Play automatically updating?

The Play Store may not update your apps if your phone does not have the most recent Android version. Navigate to your phone's Settings > Software update. Download the new update if it's available. It'll automatically be installed on your phone if there is enough storage available.

The Google Play app on the device automatically checks for updates to all apps installed by the user (yours or otherwise) and notifies them of updates. I'm not sure as to how often it checks, but I think it's 5 or 6 times a day.
