Still no IOS 13

I have an iphone 8 plus but have never gotten an update notification since ios 12.4 and it’s now December of 2019. My settings are set to automatic updates.

Where can I find an update to 13? My ipad automatically updated.

Go to Settings/General/Software Update. It should prompt you to install the latest iOS version (13.3 is the current most recent).


If it says your phone is up-to-date with a previous version most likely you participated in the iOS 12 Beta. In that case you must go to Settings/General/Profiles if it exists. It will be between VPN and Regulatory near the bottom of the listing. Tap on Profiles, tap on the Beta profile, and delete it. Then restart your phone—>Restart your iPhone - Apple Support


One other possibility is you have a downloaded iOS 12 version that you never installed. You need to delete it:


  1. Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage.
  2. Find the update in the list of apps.
  3. Tap the update, then tap Delete Update.
  4. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and download the latest update.
