How to Download iOS 14, Update iOS 14: Today I am going to tell you how you can download and update the latest iOS release iOS 14. So in this post, I am going to tell you some important tips that you need to know before updating your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to this latest iOS version.
So the first thing you guys need to do is make sure your device is compatible with iOS 14. Knowing this is very simple. If your device can run or if it’s running on iOS 13 then it can run iOS 14 as well.
The very next thing you should make sure is to backup all your device data before upgrading your Apple device to iOS 14. I would recommend you to use iCloud for this. Also, you can use iTunes to backup your data on your PC or laptop.
Steps to backup your iPhone using iCloud

- Wait for the backup to finish.
Once you have finished the device backup process, make sure that you have enough to download and install the iOS 14. The latest iOS version will take 5 GB to 8 GB of your device storage.
To check the storage of your device go to settings. Click on general and tap on iPhone storage to check the available free space. If in case you have free storage below 5 to 8 GBGB then you should consider deleting a few files or moving it to another device or laptop to free up space until you get enough (5 GB approx) of free space.
