Automatically updates flatpak & snap?

Hello,
Does Ubuntu Mate automatically updates snap & flatpak apps (with default settings)? From my knowledge, snap is able to automatically updates snap apps, but no idea with Mate. I didn't find answer for flatpak. Thanks in advance for your support.

Ubuntu Mate automatically updates Snaps but don't delete the old versions in case you want to go back to a previous one.

You can check all the versions that are installed running this on a terminal:
snap list --all

Old versions are tagged as "disabled".

You can remove them if you want by hand with the following command:

snap remove snapname  --revision=revision

or running the script in this page:

Note: if your system is not in English you will need to change the word "disabled" (I use "desactivado" in Spanish)

If you want to see if some updates are available you can run:
snap refresh --list
and
snap refresh
to force an update of all the Snaps.

I'm not sure about Flatpak because I don't use any right now.
