  • Switch from F-Droid to Droid-ify or NeoStore for auto updates

I learned that one major drawback of F-Droid is that it cannot auto-update packages as it does not support session based installs. Both, Droid-ify and NeoStore seem to support this and therefore can silently update packages.

My Question is: When I switch from F-Droid to Droid-ify or NeoStore do I get auto updates for already installed apps or do I have to reinstall them to make this work (I do not want to lose my app data)?

    Thanks for the answer.

    I know that there are more issues with F-Droid but this would be a reason to switch to Droid-ify or NeoStore as this is a direct benefit. All other issues are more F-Droid repo concept related and not with the app itself.

    TheGodfather Weird, I can't seem to get F-Droid to do unattended updates currently. Any advice?
