This has started showing up for some reason, suggesting that instead of updating my apps in the background, Google Play is waiting until I open an app to check for updates. Is there like a setting somewhere I need to change?

F-Droid has auto update?

Yeah, it’s relatively new addition, at least the mode that doesn’t require user interaction. I think it requires Android 12 or 13.

Weird, I still have to do it manually…

Hmm, I’ve got F-Droid Basic installed. I think it was supposed to be the testbed for that functionality.

Or maybe it needs special permissions.

I have auto update on Neostore and it works flawlessly, but barely use it as I prefer to update as many apps as possible from the original source (Codegerg, Github, Gitlab, etc) over Obtainium.
