It's easy to keep
your iPhone or iPad up to date
with the latest features
and security enhancements.
We'll walk through how
to update your device wirelessly
and how to update it
using your computer.
Before you start,
make sure
you back up your device,
plug it into power,
and connect to Wi-Fi.
If you're using a Mac
or Windows computer,
you'll need a compatible cable.
Let's start with updating 
your device wirelessly.
When there's an update available
for your device,
you might get a pop-up
on screen,
which you can tap
to install the update.
Otherwise,
you can open Settings,
tap General,
and tap Software Update.
In iOS 13.6 or later,
automatic updates 
are on by default.
Your device will update
automatically overnight
while it's charging,
although some updates may need
to be installed manually.
To update your device now,
just tap Install,
enter your passcode,
and follow the prompts.
If you see a message saying
that you need more space on your
device for a wireless update,
you can delete content manually
or update using your computer.
To update your iPhone
or iPad using your computer,
make sure your device
is plugged into your computer
and that your computer
is connected to the internet.
If you're using a Mac
with macOS Catalina or later,
open the Finder.
If you're using a Mac
with macOS Mojave or earlier,
or a Windows computer,
open iTunes.
You may see a message
about updating your device
when you connect it
to your computer.
Otherwise, locate your device
in the sidebar
and make sure
you're in the General tab.
In some versions of iTunes,
this may appear as Settings.
Next, click Update.
Then click Download and Update
and follow the prompts.
Now you can keep
your iPhone or iPad up to date
and enjoy
all the latest features.
