F-Droid basic uses modern Android Libraries and modern Apps can be updated without interaction.

Thats because Android has a Package manager that uses APKSigner signatures to verify the app. That is Private/Public Key authentication, so its pretty sure the App comes from the developers.

Only if the Signature matches the App gets an Update. So there is no danger in using automatic updates.

Making F-Droid Basic "battery unrestricted" will help.
