Note: Not stable/suggested yet.

F-Droid emphasizes that it wants to ensure that the experience with it is as stable as possible, so version 1.19 isn’t marked as the suggested version yet

- I do however like Droidify with Shizuku integration for this purpose!

  Droidify has never ever even suggested me an update in the background. Like ever. The option is enabled in the settings. I always have to launch it manually and refresh to see new updates idk. FDroid app on the other hand works flawlessly, including the newest one.

- It may not be the suggested version, but it is quite stable as I have been using it since it was in early alpha and I have never seen it crash or any issues.

Why would you title it a "trick"? Inappropriate term.

now supports the unattended updates API introduced in Android 12

Hardly a trick if you use a standard API.

- Yeah it really is a click bait title . I bet google playstore invented back ground download (if it really is i'm fucked but pretty sure its not).
