Update an iPhone 5 App
You will be notified with a red number at the top-right corner of the App Store icon when there are updates available for the apps that are installed on your iPhone 5. These updates do not need to be installed immediately or, technically, ever, but updates are generally improvements that will only serve to improve your experience with your iPhone. Step 1: Tap the App Store icon.
Step 2: Select the Updates option at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Tap the Update button to the right of the app that you want to update.
Step 4: Enter the password for your Apple ID, if prompted. The app update will then download and automatically install itself.
