desktop shows all available versions, including the newest ones. This is not always the case when I load the f-droid app on my phone. If I check the f-droid website, results are the same as using the desktop.

Some updates might be restricted to certain architectures, Android versions &c. Some could be beta versions. Or your repositories simply need to be synchronised.

If it isn't the latter, check the following settings: "Include incompatible versions", "Include anti-feature apps" and "Unstable updates".

Always sync repos before doing anything with an f-droid app

how do I do that? I didn't find any option to sync on the f-droid app.

[–] CurbsTickle@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Swipe down to refresh. You'll see at the top "Updating repositories".

[–] vestmoria@linux.community 3 points 8 months ago (2 children)

thanks!, but can't this be automated? (update repos every 24 hours)

[–] eatham@aussie.zone 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I believe it does it in the background, or has an option to. Id recommend also having another app as they often have more features and a decent UI. I use droidify and used to use neo store.

+1 for Droidify, it's great. Used Neo Store before as well but Droidify is better IMO.

Settings page, updates section.

On the web version or the App?

Probably because the App filters for your Screensize, CPU architecture and Android Version.
