A lot of Android System Updates users observe that certain system applications Google Play Services, are not presented in the list of Android System Updates. 

However, there is no need to fret, Android System Updates treats updates in various manners. System apps are usually not updated in the same manner as the apps that you normally download.

Standard Play Store update list has everything to do with the way Google packages its update delivery.

Default App Updates: 

We can handle the updates automatically by the Play Store, courtesy of its Manage Apps & device section. It will usually show here and you may update one at a time or in bulk.

Google Play System Updates: 

Herein lies a good portion of the confusion. They are security and privacy updates to core Android components. 

These updates are provided directly by Google. They do not normally appear as pending updates in the normal Play Store list of "Updates available". 

Popular excuses for "missing" an update

In addition to the fundamental differences in how we handle updates, there are some other reasons updates may not show:

Google Account Sync Issues: In case your Google account is not syncing properly on your device, then it may conflict with the Play Store to check and show the available updates.

Network Connectivity: An unstable Wi-Fi connection may prevent the Play Store from connecting to updated servers.

Old Android Version: Occasionally, an old Android OS may create problems of compatibility with new updates of the app.

Common Play Store Trouble Shooting Steps

The following actions can help to fix most of the problems with the failure to appear updates:

Check Internet Connection

Clear Play Store cache and data

Cache and Data Clear Google Play Services

Reboot your Device
