When an app for Android phones updates with no actual changes that can be seen in the app (can't tell that anything has been updated except bug fixes), why is it that sometimes the app requires more resources to run?
 
I would hope its more security and bug fixes. But itd depend on the app and company.

You can try to look up the patch notes or goto that sites webpage to see if they have a change log.
 
I would hope so too.

The issue is with some apps there's quite literally nothing one can see as being changed far as the app's operation/features are concerned, yet the app will get slower as the phone gets older.

If things are being updated (security/bug issues excluded) that do not make the app look better or add new features, yet makes the app require more resources, then why update?

Say there's an app that plays MP4 videos and 5 versions later it still plays the same MP4 videos (nothing has changed to the MP4 format at all during that time with no bug fixes or security patches) and the app is still the exact same as it was 5 versions ago, but it runs slower. Why does it run slower?

Is there's something I'm missing here?
 
No i don't think your missing anything.

Wish i had an answer for you, but if your not able to find the answer you want or need from their website/creators then you can chose to stop using it and uninstall or use different apps/programs
