I asked about the auto update some time ago - see https://forums.balena.io/t/how-does-the-auto-update-work/ and was told that it was active for the version I was using then, v1.5.30.
I waited to see if I’d get a notification, but never did, so I manually updated to v1.5.59. This has also never got any notifications about updates, so as there seem to have been a lot of changes, I’m just about to manually update again.
I’ve checked the settings and auto-updates are enabled.
In the discussion of my earlier question I was told that the auto updater would only be triggered for some releases. I’d find it useful if the versions that should automatically update were identified in the release notes.
I’m running Etcher on Windows 10.
