It's accessible in "Playstore's Setting->expand: Network Preferences->Auto-update apps"
So Electrum will automatically update if that setting isn't disabled and if Electrum is installed from the Playstore.
Otherwise, it wont.
Yes, the android binaries downloaded from the electrum.org wont update automatically either.
(might result with "couldn't update" if Playstore tries to update it to a different variant, it may update if similar but I don't want to try)
In OP's case, it's normal for users to accidentally click "Update all" when checking for updates in PlayStore.
Or he just fat-fingered "Update" button.
We're slightly off-topic though since the main issue isn't the cause of his "accidental update".
And he didn't answer any of the questions.
