How to download iOS 16

Read on to see more detailed instructions for each step.

1. Make sure your device is charging and connected to Wi-Fi. Neither are strictly necessary — we installed this update while not hooked up to a power source, so if you have full battery and are installing a smaller update, you probably won’t run out of juice. Still, it’s probably best to plug in, especially for large updates like the iOS 16 update. Similarly, you can use cellular data to download the update, but it’s advisable to use Wi-Fi if you don’t have spare data or an unlimited data plan. It’s also a good idea to back up your iPhone before any big iOS update, archiving the update in case you need to go back and restore your iPhone to an earlier iOS should something go wrong.
2. Open the Settings app, then tap General.
3. Tap Software Update.
4. At this point, iOS 16.2 should be waiting for you. Tap Download and Install.
5. Enter your passcode when prompted. In some cases, you may be asked whether you want to use cellular data. If so, make your choice. If you don’t have spare data or aren’t on an unlimited data plan, tap Don’t Use Cellular Data.
6. You’ll be prompted to agree to Apple’s terms of service. Once you do, the download will begin.
7. Once the update has been downloaded, tap Install Now.
8. The update will install and your device will restart. This could take a while. Be patient and don’t power off your device manually. Your device will restart after iOS 16.1 is installed. You’ll need to enter your passcode to unlock the phone, but when you do it should be pretty clear that iOS 16.1 is now running on your iPhone. If you want to confirm, go back to the Software Update menu. It should now tell you that iOS is up to date. 
9. Optional: to set your device to update automatically, tap Automatic Updates at the top of the screen.
10. Toggle Download iOS Updates to on.
11. Set both toggles to on. Your device will now update automatically when connected to a power source and Wi-Fi network. You now know how to update an iPhone, and how to update iOS automatically.
