It is there so updates are not installed automatically as the setting implies. Basically the behaviour with automatic updates turned off is the same as before this option was introduced in iOS 12 and that is that the update downloads, but it won't update unless you go into Settings > General > Software Update and tap install, then enter your PIN and agree to the terms and conditions. You have to remember that Apple still tried to get as many users onto the newest version of iOS as possible, but from what I read online most people have little trouble to not update if they turn automatic updates off and delete the update from their phone in case has already downloaded. I guess eventually it may redownload, but if you don't want to take any chances for that to happen you could always turn off WiFi over night when many people plug in their phones since an iOS update at this point will definitely not download over cellular ddata.

HI Jenn, Thank you for this, as I do and have always had auto download turned off. I think rather this feature is turned on or off, the download will still download, but if we don't want the update on our phones, we have the option to install by accepting the license agreement or not. This is the way it works on my phone. Although, I'm just not for sure why we have the auto software option, if the update still downloads.

Hi Janet, If you have automatic updates turned on, it will download to your phon e whether you want it or not. The best way to keep it from downloading is to turn this setting off in settings, general and software updates.
