During last week Adobe started to update Flash Player plugin installs on Android phones automatically over the air, that is, without the phone’s owner specifically clicking on the Update button.

A couple of people asked me how to set up the phone to allow the updates, as it is not on by default and the phone’s owner must allow the updates to happen automatically. First open the Market application and tap on the Downloads menu. In this menu, find the Flash Player listing.

Once you find the listing tap on it to see the details for Flash Player.  At the top there is a checkbox for Allow Automatic updating.  If you turn this on your phone will automatically update Flash Player when it finds a new version available.
