How to cancel the automatic installation of updates for iOS and iPadOS updates

If you are using a device running iOS 14/iPadOS 14 or later, canceling the automatic installation of software updates is easy. Keep in mind that you'll need a scheduled update to access this specific option we're going to discuss.

1. Go to Settings from your iPhone or iPad’s Home screen.

   

2. In the settings menu, scroll down and tap "General" to continue.

   

3. Here, click on the “Software Update” option located above the AirDrop settings.

   

4. Now you will be able to see the version of the iOS/iPadOS update you plan to install. Click "Auto-update" to continue.

   

5. Here, tap the “Install iOS Updates” switch once.

   

6. Doing so will give you access to two options. If you just want to stop scheduled nightly updates and keep automatic updates, select Cancel installation tonight.

   

Go ahead. Your iPhone or iPad won't try to update later in the evening.

Since you have automatic updates enabled, you may receive similar update pop-ups within a day or two. However, this time, instead of entering your password, tap the “Remind me later” option below the number pad to prevent updates from being scheduled on your device.
