Free up storage space

Readers should check and release memory on the device. This is a necessary condition to download the iOS 11 installer.

Please check and delete applications that you do not use. You will find some applications that you have never touched, please delete them manually. This not only frees up space but also makes the device's main screen more compact.

Besides, you should also review your photo album and delete old photos or videos you rarely review, after deleting, you can go to the recently deleted section in the Photos application and delete permanently. They come out of the device. Before proceeding to deleting, you can copy them to a computer or store them on a cloud service to make sure they still exist.

Backup data on device

Backing up data is always something that we recommend readers to do before directly interfacing with the device. Even if you install an official update from Apple, the risks can still occur.

There are two ways to back up data: using iTunes or iCloud .

With iCloud, you can turn on the automatic backup feature on this service (if not already enabled) by going to Settings -> iCloud -> Backup -> On . After turning on the backup feature with iCloud, you click the Backup now button so that the device starts backing up data to iCloud. However, due to limited free storage of iCloud only 5GB , only really important data will be backed up.

The second way is backing up with iTunes, which is more popular. Although the backup time may be longer, the data on the device will be fully backed up to your computer and will not be limited to the 5GB storage capacity as on iCloud. You just need to connect the device to the computer, turn on iTunes, select on your device and click the Back Up Now button in the Backups section to let iTunes start backing up data on the device to the computer.

In addition, you should also be prepared to handle incidents arising after the update is complete (if any). If you are a technical person, you can wait for a few more days to "probe" before the situation and then proceed to update to iOS 11 for your device.
