Indeed. There are apps on your phone that update themselves without your permission, especially stock apps. The way to prevent this is to go into the settings of the store like Google Play or App Store and then turn off auto update. You can also turn off automatic system updates in your phone settings. That way, you can control your own updates.

Those apps that update themselves without your permission can't really be stopped. You just have to cease the internet as they try to update.
