Hi Richard, Thank you very much for this tip. Sure sounds like Microsoft when they were trying to sneak Windows 10 past Windows 7 users through their update process.
Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! I believe that everything happens for a reason. Usually, the reason is that somebody screwed up. ----- Original Message ----- From: Richard Turner To: ViPone list Sent: Thursday, September 19, 2019 2:28 PM Subject: Those wanting to avoid iOS 13 A coworker sent me this. Info from another group worth noteing - Hello group! With iOS 13 coming out and lots of us not wanting to download it because of the multiple voiceover bugs, may I take this opportunity to warn you of apples rather sneaky way of overriding your settings to install updates when you don't want them. If you go into settings, general, software update, you'll find a button to turn off automatic software updates. Go ahead and switch that to off, but be aware that it may not stop the update from being installed. There's another step you will probably need to take. You may find a dialogue popping up sometime in the next few days asking if you want to install iOS 13. The two options you'll be given are "install now" or "later". You'll assume you need to choose "later", since you don't want the update at all, and then you'll be asked to enter your passcode. At this point, the phone is ready to install the update, despite the fact that you have auto update set to off, and it will do it sometime in the couple of days after you've seen the dialogue come up. So, when the dialog has appeared and you've chosen the later option, go back into settings, general, software update and you'll see another button has appeared, called "Cancel auto install" or something like that. You need to double tap that button to stop the phone doing the update automatically. And all of this happens even though you've got your auto update set to off. Apple sure are keen to get us updating. Sorry for the long post but I wouldn't want anyone to get caught out by this. Richard Always look out for #1, and be careful not to step in #2. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
