Block iOS/iPadOS Updates

Install a tvOS profile to stop your device from downloading software updates — useful for staying on a jailbreakable firmware.

How to verify: after installing, go to Settings → General → Software Update. If it says "iOS is up to date", updates are successfully blocked.

    Go to Settings → General → Profile (may be called Profile & Device Management or VPN & Device Management)

  5. 5

    Restart your device when prompted
