Stop iPhones software updates

If you really want to do that, go to:

Settings > General > Software Update

Turn Automatic Updates off.

As mentioned though, this is not a good idea. The point updates in particular are usually security patches.

I do have mine set to off, but only because I want to see if there are any gotcha's that appear in a new upgrade or update before proceeding. It's rare, but does happen. I usually wait to or three days then apply the updates manually.

And all such upgrades or updates slow down the an iPhone and iPad (in particular) for about a day as there is a lot more updating going on in the background when it appears to already be done. This uses the battery faster than typical since it's doing a lot you can't see, but things will go back to normal when it's done.

Well, I have no explanation, because it has never happened to me. If your storage is almost full that is a likely reason.

They're mainly meant to fix security bugs that could put iPhones at risk, so it's always advisable to keep the iPhone up to date

I think you should Force Restart your iPhone and go to the App Store to check the apps updates

Please Apple stop doing this annoying updates on IPhone, every time is just make the iPhone slow and very unpleasant to use.

What a great idea! Stop the updates that block hackers from getting into your phone. The professional criminal hackers will love it!

BTW, I have never had an update that made my phone slower or unpleasant to use in 16 1/2 years of installing updates. Every update has added useful features, and none of them have impacted the performance of my phone. Most have improved the performance.
