How to update a device's operating system to the latest version (iOS)

To update iOS to the latest version, follow the steps below:

1. Go to Settings;
2. Tap on General;
   

   
   
   

3. Tap on Software Update;
   

   
   
   

4. Tap on Download and Install (if an update is available).
   
   

Note: When you update a mobile device, make sure that it won't run out of battery power. Make sure that it's at least 50% charged. In addition, use a stable Wi-Fi connection (and not mobile data), in order to avoid additional costs.

If you want to update your iOS mobile device via iTunes, update the iTunes software first (download it from the Apple's website ONLY). Once you do:

1. Connect your device to a computer
2. Open iTunes and select your device (on the left side of the iTunes window)
3. Click Summary, then click Check for Update
   
   

   
   
   

Note: When you update a mobile device, make sure that the laptop won't run out of battery power, because if it does, you may cause an irreversible damage to the mobile device. To prevent this, plug the AC adapter of the laptop in an power outlet.
