Hi PogiDale25,


Regarding the issue with cancelling a software update, if you're seeing the Apple logo with a status bar you can't cancel the update.

However, if you're looking to delete an update that has been downloaded and not installed, the steps below found in the article here will assist. If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won't update


"If you still can't install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, try downloading the update again:

  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."


Best.
