How to make Silverblue update automatically

For now i see only notification if i open Gnome software that there is updates and need to click download and update then restart, but how i can make it automatic and it downloads and updates all and waiting to restart or shutdown to apply them. I think this should be default behavior on Silverblue

What version are you on? With automatic updates enabled, GNOME Software should stage rpm-ostree updates so that you only need to reboot. That was a recent change, but I don’t recall which version it was. F38 maybe?

Found in Gnome Software, “hamburger menu” on the top left, preferences. Just for clarification, actually installing updates was always a user triggered act from the Distro POV. At least traditionally.
