  They added that a while ago for all users on Android 12 and up

    In the Basic version only, last time I checked the “original” F-Droid couldn’t do it. And there’s also some minimum API level an app has to target to be eligible for automatic updates (found that out through updating microg and having to click “update” still)

      I have the regular F-droid and it does automatic updates now.

  My phone is not getting CalyxOS updates anymore. Gotta wipe it all and move to lineageos now. Man I hate mobile operating systems. I need good linux phones right now. Android can go to hell.

  People with non-rooted phones won’t get automatic updates via F-Droid which is a big hurdle.

  Not true if the app to update uses a high enough API version and if you use F-Droid Basic.

  NOTE: The Basic version of F-Droid Client has a reduced feature set (e.g. no nearby share and no panic feature). It targets Android 13 and can do unattended updates without privileged extension or root.

  I have automatic upgrades on my non-rooted phone. I use droidify but i’m pretty sure the official F-droid client works the same way.

  I get update notifications from f-droid but have to update inside the f-droid app.

  I run CalyxOS and have automatic updates from F-Droid.

    But it won’t work on your dad’s stock Samsung Galaxy, right?

    Yes, so do I. I phrased that a bit weird when I read it again 😅
