Hi Mike, When you do a major update like this I would definitely say just making sure you have an update and then to install can be risky. There is not a lot you have to do, but the two things which may prevent any potential issues are to make sure you close all apps from the app switcher and as a minimum I would reboot the phone. With a major update I usually go to Settings > General > Reset and tap on Reset Network Settings. This will also result in a reboot, but keep in mind that it will disconnect you from your WiFi so make sure you have your password handy. If you named your phone, for example, "Mike's iPhone SE", a Reset Network Settings will also get rid of that and your iPhone will simply be called "iPhone". However, it is easy to fix this in Settings > General > About, the first item is your phone's name and you can simply double tap on that and call it anything you like. This message may get a few replies from people who say that Apple does not say you have to do this and doing this does absolutely nothing. Yes, Apple does not say you have to do this, but I have had iOS devices for almost 8 years and I don't recall ever having a major problem with an update. I have seen cases where problems did occur and in some of these cases doing a Reset Network Settings afterwards fixed the problem. Therefore, since it takes me all of a minute or two to do this and reconnect to my WiFi, I do it. Of course when I upgrade from one major iOS version to another I also usually do this via iTunes just because I get more feedback during the update and think in some situations an update via iTunes can be less problematic than an over-the-air update. Like I said, in addition to having a backup at least close all apps from the app switcher and reboot the phone.

I'm going to update to 10.31, & is there anything I should do before double tapping the install button? Should I turn off Bluetooth, or anything like that, or just go ahead & install. All apps are closed, & I have backed up the phone to both my computer & iTunes. Thanks much. Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool. Go Dodgers!
