How to auto update? (lemmy.world)

There was an update all button before this, but it takes me here. Any way to then not click on all of them?

Once you are on fdroid 1.19 Just tap the update button once per app and you won't have to do it again.

Would it be possible to get it to notify me with available updates, and then for me to just hit "update all"? As in, what really nags me is the independent confirmation "are you sure you really want to install this update?" Pop up for every single app, but I'd still like some control as to when do apps get updated, not just full auto.

Well that pop-up for every single app does go away, but as far as controlling it, I have not seen a way as of yet. Maybe if you turned off automatic download, that might do it.

Automatic download is on. I guess I didn't have many chances yet to first manually update each individual app, so the next cycle they will autoupdate (if this is the way this is supposed to work).

That should be correct. Any app you have previously updated with the update button should now automatically update, but apps that you have not updated at least once since getting the newest fdroid will still require pressing the update button one time until they've all been updated at least once.
