Block OTA Updates for iPhone and iPad

Block OTA updates for iPhone and iPad

Here's how to block updates for iPhone and iPad with the new Block OTA profile.

Install profile

From your device, tap the button below to download the Block OTA profile. Your device will notify you when the profile has been downloaded. Open Settings, tap the profile and follow the onscreen instructions to allow installation.

Block OTA subscription

It's okay if you see that you are installing tvOS 26; this is not a mistake.

Restart your device

Don't forget to restart your device after installing the profile so any changes can be applied.

To check if the profile is active on your device, go to Settings > General > Software Update. If it displays "iOS is up to date," you have successfully blocked updates.

If you still see a new update available, go to Beta Updates and select Off. Then, navigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and check if a software update has been downloaded. If it has, select it and delete it from your iPhone or iPad.

Uninstalling the Block OTA Profile

In case you want your device to be able to update normally, you need to uninstall the OTA Block profile as follows:

Open the Settings app
Go to General > VPN & Device Management
Tap on the tvOS 26 Beta Software Profile, select Remove Profile and enter your device passcode.
Restart your device to apply the changes.

Now, check for updates in Settings - General - Software Update.
