Have you ever started an iOS update on your iPhone 13 and immediately regretted it? Maybe you need to use your phone right away, or you’ve heard about some bugs in the new update. Whatever the reason, you’re probably wondering how to cancel that update. Well, you’re in luck! It’s possible to stop an update in its tracks, and I’m going to walk you through exactly how to do it.<\/p>\n
First things first, let’s get into how to cancel that pesky iOS update. The steps below will guide you through the process.<\/p>\n
Access the Settings app on your iPhone 13.<\/p>\n
In the Settings app, you’ll find a range of options. For now, we’re focusing on stopping the update, so don’t get sidetracked!<\/p>\n
Scroll down and tap on ‘General.’<\/p>\n
‘General’ is where you can tweak all sorts of settings, but we’re here with a mission, so stay on track!<\/p>\n
Find and select ‘iPhone Storage.’<\/p>\n
This area shows you what’s taking up space on your phone. You can also manage your storage and, luckily for us, cancel updates.<\/p>\n
Look for the iOS update in the list of apps and tap on it.<\/p>\n
The update might take a moment to appear. If you don’t see it immediately, give it a few seconds.<\/p>\n
Tap ‘Delete Update’ and confirm.<\/p>\n
Once you delete the update, your iPhone won’t continue downloading or installing it. You’re free from the update… at least until you decide to download it again.<\/p>\n
After completing the steps above, the iOS update that was downloading will be canceled. Your iPhone 13 will stay on its current operating system until you choose to update it again. If the update had partially installed, your phone might need to do a quick restart, but it won’t update to the new version of iOS.<\/p>\n
Once the installation process has begun, you cannot cancel the update. You can only cancel it during the download phase.<\/p>\n
No, deleting the update won’t affect your personal data. However, it’s always a good practice to back up your iPhone regularly.<\/p>\n
No worries! You can always re-download the update by going to Settings > General > Software Update.<\/p>\n
Yes, you can. Go to Settings > General > Software Update > Customize Automatic Updates and turn off ‘Download iOS Updates.’<\/p>\n
There could be various reasons, such as needing immediate use of your phone, concerns over update bugs, or simply preferring to wait for a more stable update.<\/p>\n
Canceling an iOS update on iPhone 13 is a straightforward process that can be done in a few simple steps. It’s important to remember that while canceling an update can be useful in certain situations, updates are designed to improve your experience and security. Always consider the benefits of the update before deciding to cancel it. With this knowledge in your back pocket, you’ll be prepared the next time an update starts at an inconvenient time, and you need to put a stop to it. And who knows, maybe the next update will be so seamless you won’t ever feel the need to cancel. Keep your phone up-to-date, but always on your terms.
