On Android 14 and this is not my experience at all, I still have to confirm every single update on my phone, they download in the background alright but then I need to go one by one and confirm it.
The only app that doesn’t auto-update for me is Fdroid itself (ironically), because it targets an old Android version. Running Android 14 on a Pixel, so with the strongest Google fuckery.
Are you sure your Fdroid client is up to date? The new API was implemented in 1.19, and apparently I even misremembered and all you have to do to enable Fdroid to auto update its apps is to manually update them for one last time (so no fresh installation required).
Another long shot: there’s an option to force the old installation method hidden in expert settings - maybe you could check if that isn’t enabled?
I’ll preface this by saying I’m using Droidify instead of the main app, but I’m pretty sure it’s enabled. In fact, let me double check… Yep, it is. Either my phone is fucked or I’m doing something wrong, because it always asks me to confirm updates.
"Use Session Installer on both F-Droid and F-Droid Basic, including support for automatic background updates” - yes, this is the big one, the one that everybody wanted since forever. On Android 12 or later, apps will be autoupdated after the first install or first update, no root, no unlocking, no PrivExt needed.

Use a better alternative store like droid-ify, it can do automatic updates for all the apps it installed first
