Automatic updates of apps is a frequent request I hear from users. If they use Firefox Nightly for Flatpak which gets updated every day, they just get tired of updating it manually.
I have no opinion on automatic updates, but we can never in any circumstance prompt the user to install updates every single day. That's crazy. If they want to check daily, fine, but prompts are supposed to be weekly.

In my opinion, we shouldn't even prompt the user to update apps if
updating
the app doesn't require a reboot - we should just update. Android updates apps automatically if you're on wifi and charging, I
think
it works well. Users can disable auto-update for individual apps if they need to.

Well, that's why we should make sure to not do it on metered connections. There are all kinds of heuristics we could use to detect a metered connection (idk which ones are actually implemented, if any), and there should also be a checkbox to mark a connection as metered if the detection fails, imo. NetworkManager already has the relevant API for this.
