iOS update is one of the simplest and most effective ways to make the iPhone work stably, with new features and especially increased security. However, many users still encounter errors, data loss or device delays after updates.
To avoid these risks, it is necessary to understand and properly implement the iOS update process.
First, technology expert Rene Ritchie (Canarian), one of the famous analysts of Apple, recommends that users should check memory capacity carefully before updating.
A common reason for the update disruption is not enough empty storage space on the device. You should clean up unnecessary apps and images or back up iCloud and your computer to free up memory, said Rene Ritchie.
Before starting the update, backing up data is a step that cannot be ignored. You can back up through iCloud or iTunes (Finder on macOS Catalina or later).
Backuping your data before updating helps you avoid the risk of data loss if an incident occurs.
When ready, users should choose a stable Wi-Fi connection and ensure the phone battery is over 50%, or preferably charge during the update process. These are factors that help the iOS download and installation process go smoothly.
Another important note is not to update iOS as soon as the new version is released. Waiting a few days for Apple to fix minor errors through patch-ups will help reduce the risk of serious errors or data loss.
If an error occurs during the update, you can try restarting your device or performing the update via iTunes/Finder on your computer. In the worst case, it is necessary to restore the device from the backup to recover the lost data.
