Request: Please let me choose when updates install

[shelvacu]

What am I asking for

An option (non-default) to let me choose when updates are installed.

Why

There are times, usually when I'm travelling abroad, when having my phone fail (even just a single app, like notes) could be a stressful/bad time. These are the times when I don't want updates, because as rare as it is (huge props to the grapheneos team) breaking updates could happen. As it is now, (unless i actively mark every network i connect to as metered) it will automatically download and prep the update, and then the next time I reboot the update is installed whether I want it or not. This makes it feel somewhat like a loaded russian roulette gun with the safety off; so long as i dont reboot (unfortunately a standard troubleshooting step for baseband-and-beyond issues) or run completely out of battery, the update won't install

Why not a way to pause updates

For me personally, having to remember to do this would be another thing I could forget before trevelling and would add to my stress, death-by-a-thousand-cuts style

Also, the userbase who went out of their way to install a privacy-focused OS is going to be much better about proactively installing updates, and I hope we could be trusted to decide when they're installed

User-story-ish

1. I enable this new option
2. A new update is available
3. I'm connected to an unmetered wifi network, so the update is downloaded
4. A notification pops up "would you like to install this update?"
5. I look at the notification, and think about my situation. "Oh no definitely not, I'm at 5% battery and I still need to get a rideshare back to the hotel"
6. A few days later I'm back home, comfortable and could live without my phone for multiple days
