Q: Question, update to ios 9.3.4

I have read all about updating ios topic, but something is still unclear. If u could answer my questions one by one, i would be more than grateful. My ipad storage left 2.2GB and i heard the update needs 1.4GB.

1. Is it better to update using itune or ipad itself??

 

2. Is it common items in your ipad disappear after update your ios version?? Or very rare??

 

3. If i backup my ipad, is that it backup everything inside my ipad?? Like photo, video, data, apps and games.

 

4. Ios 9.3.4 needs 1.4GB to update and my ipad storage left 2.2GB. After i update, will my storage size become 800MB?? Or it will remain 2.2GB???

5. If some of my games dont work on ios 9.3.4, can i revert back to ios 7???

 

Thanks in advance!

iPad Air, iOS 7.0.6, null

A:

1.  I recommend iTunes.  It would require a bit less space on your iPad.  Of course, you should use the current version of iTunes.

 

2.  Exceedingly rare; perhaps non-existent.

 

3.  Many photos and videos are not contained in an iOS backup, because they are presumably already on your computer.  About backups for iOS devices - Apple Support

 

4.  Neither.  Your free space would be almost 2.2GB, but not quite.

 

5.  No!
