iOS 7 is a new version of the software released by Apple Corporation. On September 18, 2013 it became available for all iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad owners. Immediately after that, millions of users started downloading this operating system.
First of all, you need to back up your data before installation. To do this, in the settings you need to open the iCloud menu, then "Storage and copies", where click on the "Create a copy" button. After completing this process, you can start installing a new operating system.
It is necessary to connect the device to a Wi-Fi network. In the setup menu, open "General", then "Software update". After that, an offer to install iOS 7 will appear on the screen. You must agree and wait until the download and installation of the software is complete. It should be noted that this process can take quite a long time, so if the phone is running out of power, it is better to connect it to a charger in advance. During installation, you can freely use all the functions of the device, the main thing is not to turn on the Airplane mode.
If it is not possible to use Wi-Fi, the update can be done by connecting your iPad or iPhone to a computer with iTunes 11.1 installed. Earlier versions of the program will not be able to work with iOS 7. After the program recognizes the device, you must click the "Update" button, then the process of installing the operating system will start.
Installing the update takes from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the speed of the Internet, although in the first hours after the release of iOS 7, this process sometimes took several hours due to the heavy load on Apple servers. In case of installation errors, you can always restore data using a saved backup.
