Prior to getting my new iPhone I would be notified that there is an update

the iOS system. Both times I had not received a notice that an update was
available that would fix the bug. Has anybody else had that issue, or is
there a setting that I have missed. If it is a setting, which one?

updates can take a few days to appear for everyone, or you can request
it at any time.

i used to get a notification that there was an update. Since I go the 8+
I have not been getting any.

what version does your 8+ currently have? you may be up to date already.

as i said, it sometimes may take a few days for it to check on its own.
11.2 was released over the weekend so it may not have checked yet, but
if you prefer, just manually request it.


I called support and was advised to bring in the phone, which I cannot do.
I’ve been poked around and found there was an update, which I installed and
the problem was fixed. My question is has Apple changed it’s policy? Or was
this just because they were In a rush to get the update out. The problem
was a serious one. I had no access to my contact list and could not use the
phone except with Siri or Bluetooth.

The only issue I found was that I was promted to install an IOS update (I
got a little red circle with a 1 in it on the systems icon) but I didn't
want to install the update at that time so I hit remind me later or not
now whatever the option is to not do it immidiatly.
Then the little red circle disapeeared and I forgot all about the update,
so wasn't promted again. This is quite differnt from what I get on the
iMac computer, where I'm always getting prompts to install the lastest
updates almost everyday or on restarts, and I get a "remind me tomorrow"
"remind me in 1 hour" options. etc...


I did not get the dot
