Update Apple VPP Apps only via Wifi
kde2408 No problem.
There actually seem to be several related to VPP updates and having more control over which apps to update and how, you check some of these out here:

Alo Press Danke für deine schnelle Antwort.
Leider hilft mir dies nicht weiter, da die Apps so unterwegs nicht mehr genutzt werden könnten.
Hast du eventuell noch eine andere Idee?
kde2408 Hmm, not sure what the best option would be but maybe disabling the VPP automatic update would be smart in your case. Can't think of any other ways right now.
As far as I know both of the Automatic Update options under Settings are enabled by default meaning users are already getting quite a robust framework for receiving app updates. Had a quick look around the web and found the following checks, unfortunately did not find any official documentation on the topic.
Automatic App update checks:
- The iOS device must be on and/or asleep.
- The iOS device must be connected to power and/or battery is almost full.
- The iOS device must be connected to a cellular data network and/or Wi-Fi.
- Updates larger than 100MB will only be downloaded over Wi-Fi, never cellular.
- If device is in Low Power Mode it will not update

As an alternative you could try to deploy some VPP as App Store apps instead and only leave the most important apps in the mandatory app deployment.
Alo Press Danke nochmal für deine schnelle Rückmeldung.
Weißt du, ob es eine Art User Voice Möglichkeit gibt, dass Microsoft so etwas wie mit den WLAN Einstellungen für VPP realisiert?
