Once you've downloaded and installed it through Software Update, you'll be able to download and install watchOS 2 through the Watch app. But that doesn't mean you can't start preparing today. <!--break--></p> <h2>Hold off on backups today; instead, clean up your iPhone and Apple Watch</h2> <p>You want your backups to be up-to-date when you make them, and that means doing them right before you update, not the day before. Instead, take some prep time if you want it to do a bit of Fall Cleaning on your iPhone. Delete unwanted apps, get rid of offline music you no longer listen to, trim down any old Messages conversations you don't care to keep. All of these will increase your backup size, and thus, the time it takes to upgrade tomorrow. The same goes for your Apple Watch: Go into the Apple Watch app and remove any unwanted apps; and hey, maybe clean up your layout while you're at it.</p> <p>If you're worried about free drive space on your iPhone, don't be: iOS 9 will only take 1.3 GB of space to install, so you won't have to go on an iOS 8-style cleansing to fit it in. Just clean up the extra cruft to tidy up your iPhone.</p> <h2>On upgrade day: Make an encrypted backup via iTunes</h2> <p>Whether you're doing a restore and install or just a straight update, we highly recommend making a backup beforehand in case anything crazy happens. Our current recommendation is
an encrypted backup via iTunes—this lets you save your account passwords and Health data. (Your iCloud backup won't store these for security reasons.) Your Apple Watch should make an automatic backup, but you can
manually back it up by unpairing and repairing your watch.</p> <p>When the update drops, you'll want to make sure you're somewhere with a fast Wi-Fi connection—or, if you really want to super-power your download, get to a Mac with a fast Ethernet connection and connect your iPhone to that computer via USB cable, then update in iTunes. After updating to iOS 9, you'll see the watchOS 2 update in the Apple Watch app.</p> <p>If you have any questions or need any extra help, head on over to our
