iOS 12 introduces a new feature demanded for years by users: automatic updates. From now on, the iPhone and iPad will be updated automatically to the latest version, without having to worry about doing it manually. This supposes a series of advantages for the user, although it is necessary to activate it.
So far, in iOS 11 what we could do was postpone the updates, to remind us at night that there is an update pending. The problem with the updates is that it can take several minutes for the entire process, which is why many users preferred to update at night when they do not use the device. iOS 12 goes a step further and directly takes away the worry of updating the iPhone or the iPad.
How to turn on iOS 12 automatic updates
The main and only requirement to use this functionality is to have an iPhone or iPad with iOS 12. Then you just have to follow these steps:
- Open Settings
- Go to General> Software update.
- Activate 'Automatic updates.
From here, the device itself will be responsible for downloading the new versions as long as it is connected to a Wi-Fi network and will install them automatically as long as it has enough battery and is connected to a charger when we are not using it.
The advantages of automatic updates
The simplest and most common argument for not activating this option is "Apple wants to update our iPhone to slow it down and buy another one". An argument that falls under its own weight with iOS 12, a version compatible with 2013 phones that even improve their performance. The advantages are considerable:
- It takes away the worry of being aware of the updates.
- Goodbye to the waits, the iPhone or iPad will be updated at night while we sleep and we do not use it.
- Having the latest version improves compatibility between devices, with applications and above all improves security.
A while ago Apple introduced automatic updates of apps in the App Store, this is the next step, automatically update the entire operating system. Of course, nobody forces you to do it and you can continue updating manually whenever you want. However, it may be more convenient to do it automatically.
