>So it's manual clicking for each update.

You need to install the F-Droid Privileged Extension, or use a ROM that has it pre-installed. That way it can update apps without user interaction.

Ah, but it looks like that means you need to be rooted?

Yes the Android OS requires you to be rooted to add the feature if your image wasn't built with the privileged extension.

You don't need to be rooted if you're using a custom rom like LineageOS, where you could potentially install the extension with temporary root like is done for UnifiedNLP here: blog.eowyn.net/unifiednlp/
