There was an update all button before this, but it takes me here. Any way to then not click on all of them?
Make sure you’re on 1.19.0 of F-Droid, which needs to be installed manually for now.

Thanks for the tip, didn't know.
I didn't have to install manually, it showed up within the app as an available update.
I've had better success with auto-update using Driod-ify. At the very least the client downloads the updates automatically so it's just a matter of tapping install.
Droidify has auto update? How?
I suppose I wouldn't know if it was working properly but I do regularly still have to update apps.
I'm not entirely sure tbh. Like I said, mixed results depending on the app, but my working throey is that the session installer can automatically install apps that have the same signature and don't require any changes in permissions. I've seen some apps do in-place upgrades with no user touch but some don't.
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.
On Neo store, f-droid front end, in the settings there is an option to auto update all apps. Also has a one click button to update all apps if you don't want to auto update.
That's not the F-droid client
F-Droid basic is the modern client
