I have really welcomed this well thought out feature. Many a time, I want my iPhone to jump onto the latest iOS update as soon as it’s out. With the option to turn on automatic update, I will be able to seamlessly download the new version of the operating system. What about you?
How to Turn On Automatic Software Updates on iPhone and iPad Running iOS 12
Step #1. Launch the Setting app on your iOS device → Tap on General.
Step #2. Next, tap on Software Update.
Step #3. Next up, your device will check for the updates. Tap on Automatic Updates and then turn on the switch for it.
Going forward, as soon as the new iOS version is released, it will be automatically downloaded on your device. Of course, your iPhone needs to be connected to Wi-Fi and it must have at least 50% battery to be able to get into the action.
How to Disable Automatic Software Updates in iOS 12
Some users prefer to wait for a few days to find out how an iOS update works. And once they discover that it’s worth going for the upgrade, they give the latest version of the OS a shot on their device. It’s really a smart way to avoid encountering issues.
Besides, if you are a pro user, you may want to update your device at your own pace so that your testing doesn’t come to a halt. As we all know that Apple stops signing the previous version of the OS just after a few days of the release of the latest one, it would be apt for them to disable the auto updates.
Step #1. Open Settings app → Go to General → Tap on Software Update.
Step #2. Now, tap on Automatic Updates and turn it off.
That’s it!
Your device won’t be updated without your permission.
Have your say
As I like exploring new features as and when they are out in the wild, I’m going to use it on my device. To find if the updates are perfectly installed without a user accepting the terms and conditions, I’m going to wait for the next beta of iOS 12. I guess, the OS is auto downloaded and you still need to agree to the terms and conditions before the installation.
