Apps not updating

My 2020 330ix keeps giving notification for apps update available. I go thru the screens but seems like nothing is happening. I get the notification every time I start the car. Anyone else dealt with this? I have a message to my BMW genuis but haven't heard back from him. I have also noticed that the app icons on the left have changed size to a smaller icon which looks like they are stretched. The screen of Pandora is smaller as well. Is there a settling that I can change it back to the original size? I didn't get a photo of that screen. Any help would be appreciated.

If you choose "Install once" the notification seems to pop up for each app. I you have chosen automatic updates I don't know what the problem might be.

Maybe try the other way of updating the apps.
Click the app button.
Once the app screen pops up press the option button by the idrive wheel
Click update apps and services

I did a soft reset of the idrive and chose automatic updates and it seem to have fixed the problem. Now I to figure out why the icons at the left of the carplay screen changed size.
