If you own one, it’s imperative you know how to update an iPhone. A big deal always gets made about upcoming major iterations of iOS, primarily for the standout new features Apple always rolls into them. However, it isn’t just the big releases or jazzy features that should drive you to learn how to update iOS.

Every single iPhone update, whether it’s a new whole number like iOS 16 or is an interim update like iOS 15.6.1, contains optimizations that will help your iPhone run smoother and security patches that will make it as secure as it possibly can be. For these reasons, you should learn how to update your iPhone regularly to make sure your device keeps its place as one of the best phones around. Better yet, you should also learn how to update an iPhone automatically, as this will take all the leg work out of the process. We’ll show you how to do both here.

Let’s get down to it then. Here’s how to update an iPhone.

How to update an iPhone

  1. Put you device on charge if possible
  2. Connect to Wi-Fi if able
  3. Open the Settings app and tap General
  4. Tap Software Update
  5. If an update is available, tap Download and Install
  6. Enter your passcode
  7. Once downloaded, tap Install Now

Read on to see more detailed instructions for each step.


  1. Make sure your device is charging and connected to Wi-Fi. Neither are strictly necessary — we installed this update while not hooked up to a power source, so if you have full battery and are installing a smaller update, you probably won’t run out of juice. Still, it’s probably best to plug in, especially for large updates. Similarly, you can use cellular data to download the update, but it’s advisable to use Wi-Fi if you don’t have spare data or an unlimited data plan.
  2. Open the Settings app, then tap General.
  3. Tap Software Update.
  4. If an update (or more than one) is available, tap Download and Install.
  5. Enter your passcode, if prompted.
  6. When asked whether you want to use cellular data, select your choice. If you don’t have spare data or aren’t on an unlimited data plan, tap Don’t Use Cellular Data.
  7. Once the update has been downloaded, tap Install Now.
  8. The update will install and your device will likely restart. This could take a while. Be patient and don’t power off your device manually.
  9. Go back to the Software Update menu. It should now tell you that iOS is up to date. Optional: to set your device to update automatically, tap Automatic Updates at the top of the screen.
  10. Toggle Download iOS Updates to on.
  11. Set both toggles to on. Your device will now update automatically when connected to a power source and Wi-Fi network.

You now know how to update an iPhone, and how to update iOS automatically. You can now sleep soundly with the knowledge that your phone is as well optimized and as secure as Apple can make it.
