The iOS is the platform that Apple iPads and iPhones run on. Apple usually releases new versions every year. We do not recommend updating unless specifically required for an update of the Expression App. It is best practice to wait until Messenger approves new versions of iOS before upgrading.

1. On the iPad, go to the home screen. Open the Settings App. In the list on the left, tap General. Select Software Update in the right window.

2. Software Update will display the latest update available. Tap Download and Install. If there is not an update available, it will display that you are up to date and no further action is necessary.

3. Agree to the terms. Make sure you are connected to a power source, otherwise the device will not begin the update process.

4. The update will download and install automatically. This process can take a while, but can be left unattended while it downloads and installs. Depending on your internet connection it could take up to 30 minutes.

5. Once the iOS update has installed, the iPad will restart, and you will need to configure a few new settings before using your iPad again.

After the update, you will be asked a few things:

• Sign in with your Apple ID

• Agree to new Apple iOS terms

• Enable or disable iCloud *Disabled is the preferred setting.

• Register with Apple *This is optional.

The iOS is now upgraded and there will no longer be an update available in the Settings.
