Update iOS on iPod touch
When you update to the latest version of iOS, your data and settings remain unchanged.
Before you update, set up iPod touch to back up automatically, or back up your device manually.
Update iPod touch automatically
If you didn’t turn on automatic updates when you first set up your iPod touch, do the following:
Go to Settings
> General > Software Update > Automatic Updates.Turn on Download iOS Updates and Install iOS Updates.
When an update is available, iPod touch downloads and installs the update overnight while charging and connected to Wi-Fi. You’re notified before an update is installed.
Update iPod touch manually
At any time, you can check for and install software updates.
Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
The screen shows the currently installed version of iOS and whether an update is available.
To turn off automatic updates, go to Settings > General > Software Update > Automatic Updates.
Update using your computer
Do one of the following:
In the Finder sidebar on your Mac: Select your iPod touch, then click General at the top of the window.
To use the Finder to update your iPod touch, macOS 10.15 or later is required. With earlier versions of macOS, use iTunes to update your iPod touch.
In the iTunes app on your Windows PC: Click the iPod touch button near the top left of the iTunes window, then click Summary.
Click Check for Update.
To install an available update, click Update.
See the Apple Support articles Update to the latest iOS and If you can’t update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
