Apple has made some minor changes to iOS 13.6 and iPadOS 13.6 but also introduced new features addedFrom now on, users can control the automatic downloading of iOS updates themselves. Below I will show you how to turn the feature on or off.

Until now, it was possible to disable the automatic installation of iOS updates, but not the downloading. This means that as soon as an iOS update or iPadOS update has been rolled out, the iPhone or iPad. A situation that not every user is happy with. At this point, the only thing that could be done was to prevent the automatic installation overnight. But with iOS 13.6, everything has changed. Users can now control both processes themselves. 

Disable “Automatically download iOS updates”

Both features are enabled by default in iOS 13.6. Therefore, both the "Download iOS Updates" and "Install iOS Updates" menu items must be manually disabled. To do this, open the iOS Settings on your iPhone or iPad and navigate to the "General" section. Go to "Software Update" and tap "Configure Automatic Updates." You will now find both menu items enabled. Slide the sliders to the left to disable them. But be warned—disabling them does not prevent iOS from displaying alerts when a new version is available. You will still receive reminders about new software updates. (Photo by Denys Prykhodov / Bigstockphoto)
