How to Update Your iPhone to iOS 16 Automatically
The easiest method (and also the one that is the safest) for managing software upgrades is to let your device handle taking care of iPhone software updates.
The following steps will prepare your iPhone to automatically receive software upgrades and guarantee that it is ready to do so:
1. After the Settings app has been launched, go to the menu and select General.
2. Go to the menu and locate the option to “Software Update” under the General header.
3. On the Software Update page, select Automatic Updates from the drop-down option to begin receiving software patches automatically.
4. To guarantee that the iPhone is capable of handling everything on its own, enable the Download iOS Updates and Install iOS Updates buttons by swiping them to the right until they turn green. This will allow the iPhone to take care of everything on its own. Because of this, the iPhone will be able to take care of everything by itself.
When both switches are turned on, your iPhone will automatically download update files to the device, and then it will install those files the next morning while your phone is charging and locked when it was asleep the night before. This procedure is carried out while your iPhone is dormant and in the sleep mode.
