Why aren't apps updating in the background? (lemmy.ml)

This has started showing up for some reason, suggesting that instead of updating my apps in the background, Google Play is waiting until I open an app to check for updates. Is there like a setting somewhere I need to change?

Hmm, I've got F-Droid Basic installed. I think it was supposed to be the testbed for that functionality.

Or maybe it needs special permissions.
