Are Views automatically updated

Question

If I JOIN or CROSS APPLY two tables and create a VIEW, will the view automatically gets updated when I update either of the two tables or

Answer 1

A view is basically a stored query, it holds no data so no, it won't get updated when the tables it's built on are. However as soon as you reference the view the query it's based on will run, so you will see the changes made to the base tables.
