When you get one of those update alerts you are asked if you want to Install Now or Later. If you tap on Later, you then get a second screen that has two options:


Install Tonight

Remind Me Later


It sounds like you accidentally tapped the Install Tonight option instead of the Remind Me Later one. They are literally,two halves of the same box, and it is easy to tap a little to high. I know I have done it once, at least.


Best of luck,
