iOS 13.6 could give users control over automatic update downloads

What you need to know


Apple seeded iOS 13.6 beta 2 to developers yesterday.
The update adds a new toggle to control system software updates.
Users can now have iPhones automatically download updates. Or not. Whichever.


More control is always good.

Apple seeded iOS 13.6 beta 2 to developers yesterday, renaming the update from iOS 13.5.5. There's more than just a change in name here though, with Apple also adding a new toggle to control whether a system update is automatically downloaded or not.

In its current form, iOS will automatically update itself overnight when a device is connected to WiFi and charging if a user wishes it to. But this new change adds an extra layer to that – the iPhone can automatically download the update but not install it.

I don’t remember seeing this before in iOS/iPadOS - a way to let your device automatically download and/or install updates, without necessarily saying yes or no to both. Nice quality of life improvement. Found in iPadOS 13.6 beta...
