Apple frequently releases updates that not only enhance the functionality of your device but also address bugs and security vulnerabilities. For many users, automatic updates are a convenient way to maintain their devices without needing to manually check for new software versions.
However, not everyone prefers automatic updates. Some users might want to maintain control over when updates are installed, especially if they rely on specific apps or configurations that may not be compatible with the latest software. Disabling automatic updates allows for this level of control, enabling you to choose the most convenient time to update your device.
In this guide, we will walk you through the steps to enable & disable automatic iOS updates on your iPhone 11.
