iOS updates come down automatically regardless of the settings, that is a feature of iOS. Is that the update you are getting? If so there is nothing you can do about it. If the update is an App and the above did not solve it about all you can do is restore the iOS as it could be corrupted.


Please follow the instructions in the article below. The process is rather straight forward as iTunes will guide you along the way. You will have to disable Find my iPhone/iPad first. Don't forget to set it back to On when you are through and also set Send Last Location to ON.


Connect your device to your computer. Then import all your photos from the device to the computer and copy all important documents directly to your computer as well. Then do a full backup to iTunes, just follow the instructions below. Then select Restore iPhone/iPad and iTunes will install a fresh copy of the current iOS and will erase all your data and settings. After iTunes has installed a fresh copy of the iOS, it will ask you if you want to set your device as New or restore from Backup. Choose From Backup. Restoring from backup will bring back all your Settings, Apps, Photos on Camera Roll, etc. You should not lose anything.


After completion check to see if works. There is a possibility that restoring from the backup may bring back some system/app corruption. If this occurs (unlikely) you would have to start over again, set it up as New and install all Apps manually (a time consuming process). You would also lose your photos and documents so it is important to back them up first as I mentioned above. I have done this procedure many times in the past and restored from backup with no difficulties - it takes 30-50 minutes.

Thanks for responding.

That didn't work either, I forced repotting it many times and still updating apps.



I already turned off automatic app updates and they are all turned off.



I don't know what app is updating I just know by going to the appStore and see what is lately updated.



That happens when I charge my iPhone 5s.



This problem came with the iOS 9.
