- Your phone will check for the latest update. If it is available, your phone will download the software. It may take several minutes to download the software, depending on how fast your Wi-Fi connection is.
Note: You still can use your phone while downloading.
- Once the download process is completed, a pop up window appears to ask you to install the software. Tap Install button to install the software right now.
