Customizing time for automatic updates.

Whenever I get a notification about a new iOS update. It says it will automatically update overnight between 2 to 4 am. But the problem is, that is when I’m working. So I always have to manually download the update. Why can’t I set the time for automatically update later on in the morning when I’m actually sleeping?

iPhone 6, iOS 12

Why can’t we change auto update times? I’m a night shifter and would like to be able to update during the day while I’m sleeping and my phone is connected to a charger.

App auto update options Can we please get an option to schedule when auto app updates are allowed in iOS? It doesn’t have to be complicated… updates keep happening while I’m in the middle of something intensive and causing me big headaches. Night time? A span of hours? Anything but just whenever. I can always manually update if I need something faster but I wish I could have a bit more control without having to do it all by hand. This doesn’t seem like a big ask.
