   Those who prefer to have automatic software updated turned off may want   
   to double-check the setting is still off after manually updating to iOS   
   26.2 (and possibly iPadOS 26.2 and other Apple operating systems as   
   well).   
      
      
      
       PSA: iOS 26.2 Turns on Automatic Software Updates for Some Users   
       ----------------------------------------------------------------   
       After installing iOS 26.2, if you're just tapping through screens,   
       you could miss the update turning on automatic software updates.   
      
       At the "Software Update Complete" stage where you normally tap on   
       continue to get to the Home Screen, there might be an extra little   
       bit of information. Some users are seeing a warning that future   
       updates will be automatically downloaded and installed, with the   
       option toggled on automatically if the Continue button is tapped.   
       There's a subtle "Only Download Automatically" option that does   
       not opt you into automatic updates if you're paying attention, but   
       it's easy to miss.   
      
       You won't see iOS 26.2 turn on automatic software updates if you   
       already have them on, and it doesn't even seem to be showing up   
       for all users that have automatic update installation turned off.   
       You might want to double check your settings just in case, and   
       even if iOS 26.2 didn't turn on automatic software updates, it's   
       worth knowing about the possibility because it's an option that   
       Apple can sneak into any update. If you've ever had an update   
       mysteriously install on your device when you didn't manually do it,   
       it's probably because automatic software updates was quietly turned   
       back on.   
      
       If you did install iOS 26.2 and accidentally turned on automatic   
       updates, you can undo it by going to General > Software Update >   
       Automatic Updates and toggling the option off. From there, you can   
       choose to allow updates to automatically download, and toggle off   
       the automatic installation of system files.
