Hello everyone,

I'm new on this forum as also new on Ios Apple.

I would like to know why my phone is not getting the pop up alert when a ios update is ready. My phone is a Iphone 6 64gb.

I always need to go the route of checking manually. I know that in order to download the ios updates you need to have wifi on and I never have it on.. but do you need to have wifi on for the pop up info of the new update to appear also?

Many thanks in advance for your help

Raul

Generally the pop-up appears when the update has been automatically downloaded. Since that requires being connected to WiFi and being plugged into a power source (and even then it might not happen each time like that), it's not something that would happen in your case.

Brilliant... so I could be all day looking for a setting where could say turn on or off the ios update alert that I would not find it haha
