iOS 16.4: Updates are installed automatically by default

Click to find out more information

This article is more of a “Did You Know” type than the usual how to.  We have been informed by various sources that the iOS 16.4 update comes with the auto-update feature turned ON.  This means that the device will update itself when it’s not in use for a given amount of time (usually overnight when the device is plugged in, connected to WiFi, and not in use).

While most users may not care about this, others may have apps that may not work correctly with the latest update, or they may want to do the updates manually.

If you’re one that wants to update manually, there is a way to disable auto-update.

Here’s how:

1. Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates.
2. Toggle the option to what ever you feel is correct for the device.
3. That’s it.
