If the update is ready, an "Update Now" button should appear. Once you click it, you'll have to enter your phone's passcode. You'll then have to wait up to about 30 minutes for the update to download and prepare for install. During this time, you can use your phone, BUT when the update is finally ready, your phone will restart immediately on its own even if you're in the middle of something, and be offline for 10-15 minutes.

This is where the project "Actually Automatic" comes in. Text SUBSCRIBE to +1-833-942-4941 or join the @SoftwareUpdates group on Telegram to be notified when a software update is available for your iPhone, and visit actuallyautomatic.com to read more about this issue. You can also check for updates by hand using the process in the next slides We know it's especially difficult as activists and impacted folks to go offline for 10-15 minutes during the day, so try to think of or plan a moment in the day, maybe even another day in the week, when you're not expected to respond to texts or calls. It can help to have iMessage, Signal, or WhatsApp installed on your computer so you can continue communicating while your phone is down. For the update, you'll need to make sure your phone is charged and connected to Wifi, to avoid mobile data charges. Plan for the update to take up to about 30 minutes to download (during which time you can still use it), and then for the phone to be offline for 10-15 more minutes for installation. Once you're ready, open your Settings app, select "General", then select "Software Update", and wait for the spinning wheel to stop.
