iOS 18 update: How to get yours

Apple officially rolls out the iOS 18 and iPadOS 18 on September 16. The company aims to bring a host of updates for you. But is your iPhone eligible for these updates? 

  • First and foremost, to get the update you need to free up storage space in your iPhone. iOS updates might need more space. So, start by deleting some of the unused apps. To delete any app, just touch and hold the app’s icon. Then you will get a ‘X’ option, click on that and your app will be deleted.
  • Sometimes your social media apps content can occupy a lot of space in your devices. For example large pdfs and audio files can take up  a lot of space. In addition to this we share thousands of texts and videos/ pictures on WhatsApp. These can also take up pace. So, you need to delete those also. Try clearing chat history and clear cached files.
  • Another way is to optimise your phone’s storage. Try to store high resolution pictures or videos on iCloud. You can also store your iPhone’s backup on iCloud. This helps to create more storage in your device.
  • Lastly, you need to fully charge your phone before you start downloading updates. In addition to this you should ensure that your device is connected to a good network.
