How do I get notifications on IOS updates?

Hello Ann_N,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on your post, you don't receive software update notifications.

This is likely happening due to 'Automatic Updates' being disabled. To receive notifications of updates, you'd want to go to Settings > General > Software Updates and turn on Automatic Updates.

You don't want to be connected to any VPNs or using security software, which might block incoming notifications from Apple's servers.

Hoping this helps out, take care!

Hi Ann_N,

Understood. In that case, we'd try out steps here: If your Apple devices aren't getting Apple push notifications

Wishing you the best, cheers.
