Automatic Update Downloads Wont stop!

IOS 9.3.1 updates wont stop downloading. Its become a real issue. I have gone through the steps of Settings -> iTunes & App Stores -> gray out Updates... in fact I turned everything off.

I also sent to Settings -> General -> Storage & Icloud Usage -> Manage Storage and deleted the IOS 9.3.1 update (which is 415MB)

Every fracking day it re-downloads it and asks me if I want to update my phone NOW or LATER. How about NEVER? How about turn this crap off? If I dont eventually throw this phone through a brick wall I'll give it to someone who doesnt mind having software shoved down their throats every month. I will cancel the 200 other iPhones and iPad's throughout my organization to boot. Ya... that sick of it.

iPhone 5, iOS 9.2.1

If I remember right (its been a while) don't delete the update. After you tap LATER 3 or 4 times/days in a row, it will stop asking you. Then delete the update if you like.

CW, the setting above as you have found out do not stop these nagging updates, 😟 Setting updates to OFF just disables App updates, not iOS updates. Many people have complained about this on these threads, you are not alone, but since this is a user to user forum, your best bet would be to provide feedback to Apple here: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html They read all submissions and If enough people complain they may take action. Good luck.
