How do you cancel iOS 15 update?

Answered by Willie Powers

To cancel the iOS 15 update on your iPhone, follow these step-by-step instructions:

1. First, tap on the “Settings” app on your home screen. It usually has a grey icon with gears on it.

2. Within the Settings menu, scroll down and tap on “General.” It should have an icon with a white cogwheel on a grey background.

3. In the General settings, look for and tap on “iPhone Storage.” This option is usually near the top of the list, under the “About” section.

4. On the iPhone Storage screen, you’ll see a list of your installed apps and data. Scroll through the list until you find the iOS update file. It should be labeled as “iOS [version number] Update” or something similar.

5. Once you locate the iOS update file, tap on it to open its details.

6. On the next screen, you’ll see an option to “Delete Update.” Tap on it.

7. A confirmation pop-up will appear, asking if you want to delete the iOS update. Confirm your decision by tapping on “Delete Update” again.

By following these steps, you will successfully cancel the iOS 15 update on your iPhone. This means that the installation process will be stopped, and your device will not update to the latest iOS version at this time.

It’s worth noting that canceling an update can be useful if you’re experiencing issues or if you prefer to wait before installing the latest iOS version. However, it’s generally recommended to keep your iPhone updated to ensure you have the latest security patches, bug fixes, and features.

If you change your mind later and decide to update to iOS 15, you can always go back to the Software Update section in the Settings app and initiate the update process again.
