Apple releases updates on a regular basis to address user complaints. Patches are also published on a regular basis to **[fix](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/81628/how-to-fix-your-broken-heart-try-out-these-ways-for-sure) security issues,** which might be the case right now with your iPhone X. So, take your time to learn about and download the update; just remember to back up your data first. Once everything is in place, check for and install new updates for your device by **following these steps:** \

1. Go to the **Settings tab.**
2. Select **General.**
3. **Update** the software by tapping on it.

If a new software version for your iPhone is available, an update notification will appear. Back up all of your vital files and personal information before continuing to download and install the new software. Once installed, some software upgrades will immediately change your **current settings**. So you'll merely discover afterward that some options are no longer available or vice versa. It's always preferable to have a backup plan.
