Why is my iPhone/iPad not auto-updating?
You probably thought that by simply switching your iPhone and iPad to Automatically install updates would ensure that the updates would just happen in the background without you needing to keep an eye on them?
WRONG
In Settings goto General
then General >> Software Update
Auto updates need to be “On”
Check that both buttons are green
Also note the wording…..
“Your iPhone must be charging and connected to Wi-Fi to complete the update”
On an iPhone, updates will only occur if the phone is charging and on Wi-Fi
The iPad is slightly different
An iPad also needs to have at least a 20% charge before an update will occur.
