iOS never had this annoying update system as there is now. In iOS 12, there is even an alert shown every time you unlock your iPhone on beta firmware. In order to minimize “Software Update”popups and alerts on your iPhone, you can follow the tutorial. This also will be useful for all of the jailbreakers to save their iPhone on the current jailbreakable iOS version.

There are 2 Steps which will allow you to disable automatic software updates:

  • Go into Settings – General – Software Update – change the toggle to OFF
  • If your iPhone already downloaded the new iOS version, go into Settings – General – Storage – Find the update in the list and delete it

This will now remove automatic software updates and free up some space on your device.
