Okay so I looked everywhere and was not easy to find a guide on how to actually update the version for Bitcoin Core installed in Debian. In the end it was really easy so here you go:
For commands use the Terminal.
1- $ bitcoin-cli stop
first stop the node.
2- Go to bitcoincore.org and download the latest version for Linux.
3- (Optional but highly encouraged) Verify the file you just downloaded using the guide in bitcoincore.org.
4- Unzip the verified file, you'll end up with a folder (called for example bitcoin-22.0).
5- $ cd Downloads
(go into Downloads directory where the file you just downloaded is located).
6- $ sudo install -m 0755 -o root -g root -t /usr/local/bin bitcoin-22.0/bin/*
(this will copy all files to the correct location and overwrite the old version files, note i entered bitcoin-22.0 as the example folder but this may change in future versions.).
7- $ bitcoin-cli
to run the new installed version!
Hope this will be useful to someone.
