    Hello there, RezaMY.

     

    It sounds like you're wanting to know wether to update your iOS. It's always good to keep your device updated so that you don't miss out on the latest features. The following Knowledge Base article offers up how to update:

     

    Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

     

    Before you begin

    Make a backup of your device using iCloud or iTunes.

    Update your device wirelessly

    If a message says that an update is available, tap Install Now. You can also follow these steps: 

    1. Plug your device in to power and connect to the Internet with Wi-Fi.
    2. Tap Settings > General > Software Update.
    3. Tap Download and Install. If a message asks to temporarily remove apps because iOS needs more space for the update, tap Continue or Cancel. Later, iOS will reinstall apps that it removed. If you tap Cancel, learn what to do next.
    4. To update now, tap Install. Or you can tap Later and choose Install Tonight or Remind Me Later. If you tap Install Tonight, just plug your iOS device in to power before you go to sleep. Overnight, your device will update automatically.
    5. If asked, enter your passcode.

    If you need more space to update wirelessly

    If you need more space for a wireless update, you can update using iTunes or delete content manually from your device. Whether you use iTunes or update wirelessly, you'll have the same amount of free space on your device after you update.

    Some iOS software updates aren't available wirelessly. VPN or proxy connections might prevent your device from contacting the iOS update servers.

    Update your device using iTunes

    If you can’t update wirelessly, you can update with iTunes. If your computer uses the Personal Hotspot on the iOS device that you’re updating, connect your computer to a different network.

      1.  Install the latest version of iTunes on your computer.
      2. Connect your device to your computer.
      3. Open iTunes and select your device.
      4. Click Summary, then click Check for Update. 
      5. Click Download and Update.

       

      Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

       

      Cheers.
