+How to Update Flatpak Packages in Linux
+======
+
+I believe almost all Linux users keep their systems updated.
+
+But that update is usually for the default [package manager][1]. For example, [updating Ubuntu][2] often means updating all the APT packages.
+
+However, there are other packaging formats like Snap and Flatpak. The Snap applications get updated automatically but not the Flatpak ones.
+
+How do you update the Flatpak packages then? Well, you can update all the installed and updatable Flatpak packages using this command:
+
+```
+flatpak update
+```
+
+That’s quite simple. But let me discuss a few more things about updating Flatpak, such as:
+
+- Updating all or specific Flatpak packages
+- Updating Flatpak packages via Software Center
+
+Let’s start with the terminal method first.
+
+### Method 1: Using the terminal for updating Flatpak packages
+
+Let me first start with the most practical approach that you should also begin with.
+
+#### Update every outdated Flatpak package
+
+Updating the whole catalog of existing flatpak packages is quite easy.
+
+Enter the given command, and it will get you the list of outdated packages:
+
+```
+flatpak update
+```
+

+
+You just have to enter “Y” and press the Enter key, which will take care of every update.
+
+#### Updating specific Flatpak package
+
+To update specific packages, you’d need the list of the packages that can be updated. You used the same command you saw earlier.
+
+```
+flatpak update
+```
+
+![3. update flatpak packages in linux][4]
+
+Copy the name of the package you want to update from the output. Use the package name in the following fashion:
+
+```
+flatpak update package_name
+```
+
+For example, if you want to update Telegram, the following command will get the job done:
+
+```
+flatpak update org.telegram.desktop
+```
+
+![4. update specific package in flatpak][5]
+
+That’s it!
+
+### Method 2: Update Flatpak applications from the software center
+
+Distributions that come up with Flatpak buil-in support provide updates to Flatpak applications in the software center. Fedora and Linux Mint are such distributions.
+
+But if you are using Ubuntu, you’d need to add flatpak support to the GNOME software center:
+
+```
+sudo apt install gnome-software-plugin-flatpak
+```
+
+Once done, you will have two software centers in Ubuntu. That’s because the default software center is not GNOME’s but Snap Store.
+
+Open this new software center from the system menu:
+
+![1. open software center in ubuntu][6]
+
+Go to the `Updates` section and you will find the list of outdated packages. This includes both APT and Flatpak packages.
+
+![2. update flatpak from software center][7]
+
+From here, you can update all the packages at once, or you can be selective with what to update.
+
+### Wrapping Up
+
+Many Linux desktop users tend to forget to update the Flatpak packages as they are not included in the regular system updates.
+
+As Flatpak is a sandboxed packaging solution, you may not face any issues related to outdated packages, but you will miss out on new features and fixes for sure.
+
+This is why I recommend running the Flatpak update command once ever few weeks.
+
+I hope you like this quick little Flatpak tip helpful.
