You should first take a backup of your current system just to be safe. You can back up to iCloud. But the better approach is to take an encrypted backup to a Windows computer or a Mac. I have never had to restore from a backup, but I always take a backup before a major update to a new release.
You should probably have your phone plugged into the battery charger while doing the update. Start the update when you are getting ready to go to bed. You will have to enter the pass code to begin the update. After you enter the pass code, the update will happen without you having to do anything. When I did the update a few weeks ago, an error occurred during the download of the new version. There was an option to retry. After I double tapped Retry, the update downloaded and installed without any more problem. When the update finishes, it automatically shuts down and restarts the phone. It will be on the home screen.

This morning, I wanted to download an APP and discovered I'd have to have the latest version. Good reason to update from iOS 16. Is there a way to do this by having it happen overnight, instead of putting my phone out of commission during the day while the update is being installed? Thanks for any suggestions. +Peace & Blessings, Pastor Duane L. Steele Phone (276) 730-5194 +Peace & Blessings, Pastor Duane L.
