How to Update Your iPhone – Urgent Warning to All Users to Upgrade Now

Your iPhone needs to be updated now. We have a handy guide on how to do that.

Apple has issued a critical warning to install new security updates.

Ignoring itputs you at risk of being hacked by scammers who can hijack your device.

How to update your iPhone

Updating your iPhone is very easy. Just open

Settings > General > Software Update.

You can see if there are updates waiting to be downloaded and installed.

If you have already done so, you have the latest protections against hacking attacks.

One of the biggest advantages of iPhone updates is that they are free.

So you can easily get new features without paying a dime.

But this also means that you are installing major security updates from Apple.

These security updates fix Apple's iPhone code or system issues.

Hackers can exploit these bugs to control some (or all) of your phone.

Therefore, Apple will regularly fix these with updates.

But not installing regular iOS updates on your iPhone leaves a hole open for hackers to use.

Millions of iPhone owners will be able to install the latest update, but not everyone.

iOS updates may be interrupted if you have a very old model.

This greatly increases your exposure to hacking attacks, so it's worth considering upgrading as soon as possible.

For example, the iPhone 6S, iPhone 7, and first-generation iPhone SE will be discontinued by Apple when the iOS 16 update is released in September.

If you have an older iPhone, it is already disconnected and you should upgrade to a newer model immediately.

Here is the full list of iOS 16 compatible devices:

iPhones not on this list will not receive iOS 16.

If you have an older iPhone, you will need to upgrade your phone to a newer device to access iOS 16.
