Apple released the second beta of iOS 13.6 this evening, which was originally introduced as iOS 13.5.5. In the process, a new feature was added in the area of iOS updates.
The second beta of iOS 13.6 contains a feature that has been requested by fans in recent months (discovered by Jeremy Horwitz). iOS updates are usually downloaded automatically in the background - a process that cannot be controlled by the user. Here, only the automatic installation can be activated or deactivated. However, Apple has now added a function that gives more control over iOS updates. This means that under iOS 13.6, users can decide for themselves whether software updates should be automatically downloaded and installed in the background or not.
iOS 13.6 update control: Changes to the configuration possible
For this purpose, a second switch has been implemented in the settings under "General" in the "Software update" section. The "Automatic update" switch enables the software to be downloaded in the background as long as the device is connected to WiFi, while the "Install iOS update" switch controls the automatic installation. Both switches are currently activated by default. So if you don't want this, you will have to deactivate the whole thing manually after updating to iOS 13.6. But of course there is the option that Apple will make changes to the configuration before the final version of the operating system is released to all users. (Photo by manae / Bigstockphoto)
