BUT Apple realizes that persons don’t always have time to sit down and get updates.  So that’s why the company gave iOS the ability to update itself, at a time when the device is not busy (usually between 2am – 6am local time).

In order for iOS to receive auto-updates over night, the device should either be plugged in, or have greater than 50% charge.

Here’s how to make sure the feature is enabled (or disabled):

1. Go into Settings > General > Software Update.
2. Select Customized Auto Updates.
3. Here’s where you choose to have auto updates ON or OFF.
4. That’s it.
