Thanks Sieghard. It is already downloaded and I haven't taken the steps others have outlined, in that I've not deleted it from the phone. I opt to shut it down each night as my phone automatically goes to Do Not Disturb at 11 PM and isn't allowed to come back to life until 8 AM, so it's of little consequence anyway.
I know a couple of people who had their phones update unexpectedly overnight because they left them turned on and plugged in, so I'm using this strategy to ensure that Apple waits until I'm ready to update. From what I'm hearing on this and other lists it won't be long before I jump into the iOS13 pool. I will do so over a rainy weekend so as to not waste too much of my weekday working time tweaking it back to efficiency. I have saved several of the tips and tricks you all have shared here for the day when I make that move. The next decision is whether it'll take a bottle of wine or Scotch to get through the process.

Hi Albert, Instead of completely shutting down your phone you could simply ask SIRI to turn off WiFi over night. As long as you made sure the update hasn't already downloaded, this will effectively prevent this from happening since an iOS update will not download while on cellular data. -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Albert Ruel Sent: Sunday, October 27, 2019 9:13 PM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Updating iOS Question Please. Allen and Janet, I too have not updated to iOS 13. I avoid the automated install by powering off my cell phone every evening. It will only do the update when the phone is plugged in, powered up and left alone for a few hours. It never tries to update during the day while I use the phone so I power it off at night when not in use.

When I get a popup asking me if I'd like to install the downloaded iOS, I always select later and then I'm prompted to enter my personal ID after which I'm prompted to agree to terms and conditions. I always disagree in the bottom left corner of the screen and the update is not installed. I then immediately go to Settings, General iPhone Storage, iOS 13.x and double tap on the downloaded iOS in the list, select delete, and remove it from my device. A day or two later, the download happens again and I repeat the cycle. I'm not interested in leaving iOS 12.4.1 until iOS 13.2 is officially released and they've hopefully fixed the bug with Voiceover and third party software keyboards.

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.
