flatpak update [options] [ref...]
flatpak update [options] --appstream [remote]

Flatpak update updates applications and runtimes to their latest versions from configured remotes. Without arguments, it updates everything including appstream metadata for all remotes.
References follow the format (app|runtime)/ID/ARCH/BRANCH, where most elements are optional. The tool automatically resolves partial references.
The command offers to uninstall unused end-of-life runtimes while preserving those explicitly installed or pinned. Use --commit to update or downgrade to a specific version identified by its commit hash.

Updates may require significant download bandwidth and disk space. Using --commit to pin specific versions prevents automatic security updates. The --no-deploy option is useful for pre-downloading updates on slow connections. Masked applications (via flatpak mask) are skipped during updates.

Part of the Flatpak project developed by Alexander Larsson at Red Hat. Flatpak evolved from the xdg-app project around 2015 and provides a sandboxed, distribution-agnostic application delivery system for Linux.
