Wheh Hey. You beat me to it . I was out getting a pigeon out of the chicken's electric fence and watering flowers.

The chickens appeared to have it all under control. I think the pigeon was trying to steal the chickens food and the chickens chased the pigeon who ran into the electric fence.
The chickens know not to touch the fence, so they started the alarm call which got my attention. So their security was perfect

I love them chickens...

Nah think that’s knacker proof

My goodness, I hope that is a replacement OS and not just the update, that is a big chunk of storage space. I did my phone on mobile data yesterday, I had better leave my ipad till later.

 

[houdini]

Updated now, thank you for info.

I went to settings on wife's I Phone to click software updates, it was set on auto update, and showed the latest IOS15.6.1 was already on there, with message stating IOS is up to date
I just wondered why anyone would not have set their Apple stuff to "Auto Update On"?
There must be a reason I guess?
Thanks for the heads up Mattyjwr

Couple of reasons not to have auto update on I can think of.

The main one for me is I still work and am often 'on call' which necessitates my phone being able to receive calls at all times - the update process means it isn't available, the time of this being dependent on the size of the update.

Some people may not have regular access to wifi and therefore use mobile data to update - if you're on unlimited all well and good, but if not you might not want to update all of your devices at once depending on the size of the update.

Is that the same as 167mb? That’s what it said when I downloaded and it didn’t make a dent in my allowance.

It asks if you want to download on data before it starts .Also for it to complete you must be on Wi-Fi and be on mains power.
Or failing that just have download update turned on. When you install is then up to you.

You don’t always have to be on wifi for it to complete. This latest one didn’t - I just let it run through on mobile data and it completed - it also wasn’t on mains.

I think it’s just the larger updates that annoyingly it insists on being on wifi for.

Overall, I just prefer the control of doing the download and install when I know I don’t need the phone to be doing anything else.

The key word being claimed!

At least MS are open and honest about it!
