iOS 15.2 Issues

iOS 15.2 is 765.2MB if you’re updating from iOS 15.1. It’s simple to install and get going, just go to Settings > General > Software Update and tap download to install. It’s always best practice to have your phone charged over 50% and to be charging whilst the update takes place. Also, unless you’re on an unlimited data plan, make sure WiFi is turned on to avoid those out of bundle charges everyone loves.
