Should I wait to install the new iOS 26.1 update? I use a iPhone 11 as my main phone and have had it for a couple years and I saw today that there was a new update for iOS which is 26.1 so should I wait a couple days? I’ve heard that there are several bugs with it and don’t want anything bad to happen. I turned off automatic updates for now so it Dosent automatically update for me can anyone help?
iPhone 11, iOS 18

Ok but they won’t take me until the end of the week do you think I have that long?
You'll be fine. Your phone isn't just going to suddenly stop working because of this. It's just going to get slower and slower.
also I do backup my data I’ll make sure to manually back it up when I get home
Sounds good!

This is the worst IOS update ever. I hate the new look. Is there a way to go back. I hate the keyboard and hate the way it looks. Really bad
No. You cannot downgrade. If you don't like the Liquid Glass look (I personally LOVE it), I wrote this for people like you --> Liquid Glass - Love It Or Hate It - It's … - Apple Community
I got a question now I don’t know if you’ll be able to answer it but do you know how this happened?
some context I had charged my phone to 100 percent before the night and just left it idle when I woke up it was at 96 and I used it till it went to 92 then charged it back to 95 before school but when I checked on it a couple minutes ago at lunch it said that it was 96 percent and it last charged to 95
even more info my battery went to 05 while typing it so it’s not stuck
Normal. The system is constantly recalculating the activity of the battery. Things will change as background tasks begin and end, etc. No need to pay any attention to this.
The only thing that you really need to remember with the battery is to replace it when the Battery Health / Maximum Capacity drops below 80%.
Otherwise, you will drive yourself crazy if you are checking the battery settings all the time.

We've already told you your battery is well below 80% and you need to either get it replaced or buy a new iPhone. Anything is possible with a degraded battery like you have.
Ok thanks but I have another question that might sound like a bad question but when updating iOS and having it on automatic download and install can I leave my phone on the lock screen while it downloads and installs? This is for 26.2 by the way

Yes.
Asked and answered.
You asked......when updating iOS and having it on automatic download and install can I leave my phone on the lock screen while it downloads and installs?
Idris Seabright answered......Yes
Ok cool I’ll leave my phone on charge and WiFi and everything like that do you know how long it has to be idle for it to start downloading and installing and your completely sure I don’t have to click anything?
I have suffered many bad windows “improvements”
this iOS takes the cake
keyboards hidding the windows you need to type in
frequent freeze ups requiring so restarts
please thank those who beta tested
because I wont
Do you recommend I just click update tonight because I let it do it “automatically “ overnight and didn’t click anything and it didn’t do it so I don’t know what happened. Maybe it’s because I put my phone on charge and idle late but I’m not sure
Idk if you made a reply after this one asking why would I update but I got a message that you did and even though I don’t see it on here I’ll just say that I still updated because even though my phone is old I still was to make sure it’s up to date
no it wasn’t I haven’t done anything like that I just saw that people had bugs when updating so I was just curious so should I update it tonight? I’m on IOS 18 still so should I update?
Ok that makes since I was just worried because I don’t want anything bad to happen since I’m on iOS 18 so should I still update?
Just to let you know I’m still on IOS 18 if that’s important
Should I wait to install the new iOS 26.1 version
