I have 2 android devices, asus and xiaomi. I don't really use much them, meaning the few times I do I have several standing updates, most of them from f-droid.

On debian I enter a command and the machine downloads and executes all standing upgrades at once.

I don't know if I don't understand android, but on the gui I have to first download the application and then click again to install it. I am never shown an option to bulk download and install, which would save much time.

Is it supposed to be like this? Is there something I don't know?

This happens on both an asus and a xiaomi device.

Neo is great.

With shizuku it can do full auto updates without user interaction at all. Neo also has the fdroid, Izzy, guardian, and dozens of other repos built in.

FF updater i use for browsers. Same deal with shizuku for updates.

For op: shizuku is an app that makes use of hidden APIs and allows ADB / shell privileges and commands.

I would suggest getting the still developed and maintained fork which has substantial improvements and features over the dead rikka version
