How to install iOS 16

As Apple has already revealed, iOS 16 will be released on September 12, which means it is arriving today for iPhones, which are capable of supporting it.

But you might be wondering what time the iOS 16 update will arrive so you can download it.

Now go to Settings > General > Software Update, where you should see the iOS 16 beta is available. Tap Download and Install. Wait for your iPhone to finish downloading the update, then tap Install when prompted.

a. The first thing you should do is to backup your data. Whether or not iOS 16 has bugs remains to be seen, but the best way to protect your data and not risk losing it is the best way to go about installing any update.

Make sure you have enough space for the update. Older models come with less storage options. Those who have their storage filled to the brim must free up some space for the update.

Juice up your iPhone model to 80 percent charge and make sure to connect to a fast Wi-Fi connection before you start the install process.

You can quickly ‘Download and Install’ the iOS 16 update or you can also schedule it.

Apple provides options to install updates at later times. Some restless souls prefer to install the update as soon as they can to experience the new features, others can choose to install the update ‘Later’, or overnight, or they can even ask the phone to remind you about installing the update later.

Reboot, and Viola! You are now running iOS 16 on your phone.

iOS 16 features :

iOS 16 suggests Home Screen and Lock Screen configurations with relevant apps, wallpapers, and widgets when setting up a Focus mode, and users can directly tie an Apple Watch face to a specific Focus.
