iOS 15 is finally here, and it brings multiple new features like Portrait
Mode in FaceTime, Focus mode and redesigned notifications, improved Maps,
Live
Text, and more. However, some users may want to stay on iOS 14 for a bit
longer before updating to iOS 15, and Apple now offers an option to help
these
people. We announced earlier this year,
Apple is finally letting users stay on a previous major version of iOS and
still receive important security updates that were previously only included
with the latest versions of iOS. In other words, you can stay on iOS 14 and
still get security patches if you dont want to install iOS 15 right now.

iOS may now offer a choice between two software update versions in the
Settings app. You can update to the latest version of iOS 15 as soon as its
released
for the latest features and most complete set of security updates. Or
continue on iOS 14 and still get important security updates.

If youre not ready to install iOS 15 yet, heres what you need to do to
stay on iOS 14:
Open the Settings app on your iPhone, iPod, or iPad
Go to the General menu
Tap Software Update
Tap Automatic Updates
Disable the options to automatically download and install iOS updates
The iOS 15 update is now shown as an alternative update in the Settings app.
If you choose not to install it (and make sure your device is set to not
install
software updates automatically), you can keep running iOS 14 on your device.
When Apple releases security patches for iOS 14, youll see them in the
Software
Update menu instead of the iOS 15 updates.
This is one of the biggest changes Apple has made to the iOS update system
in recent years, as the company has always forced its users to install the
latest
version of the operating system to receive security patches.
Of course, if you stay on iOS 14, you wont get the new iOS 15 features.
This option is probably focused on users who may have to wait longer until a
specific
app or accessory is updated with iOS 15 support, which sometimes happens in
the corporate environment.
