Sorry if this has been asked, I searched but couldn’t find a clear answer. I just started staking via Atomic Wallet’s and started getting some rewards. Do the rewards get automatically added to the staking pool or do I need to claim them in order for them to be added. Thank you in advance.

OK, great. So basically I’d only need to claim if I was swapping pools or transferring to another wallet.

Nope, if u will redelegate to another pool no need to withdraw… u will need to withdraw only when u will want to spend them;
