That’s not what I wanted either. But that’s a good idea to have. What I want is, if, after reviewing the list of available updates, I click “update all”, I should not then have to click each one to “update” and then “install” one at a time. Also, I should have the choice to say “skip this version” and “don’t tell me about updates for that one ever again”
@poVoq @interdimensionalmeme You can disable autoupdates in Settings (not Expert). You can also decide ‘per app’, in the upper right menu, to: install betas, skip this update or stop all updates.
I’ve been using fdroid basic for this
Obtanium supports f’droid so I’ve been using that, not for background updates but more so the fact that it actually notifies me if there is an update, F’droid app seems to notify me 1/3 of the time.
Am I the only one who doesn’t use automatic updates for apps? I like to read the change logs, both out of mild curiosity, and to know if an app has a “major UI update”
I only wish more than 10% or so of Foss software had changelogs
Neo Store was already doing this.
The API that FDroid is using has only just come out. Before then, without using root and scripts to enable higher privileges, no app could auto-update in the background.
FDroid has long has the ability to automatically download updates, however installation always required a confirmation from the user for each app.
Is there something I have to enable for it to work?
Just checked, it’s enabled for me by default.
Oh no. OH NO! NOT BY DEFAULT!
Yay?
Damn right
