**Tips and Tricks for Updating to iOS 13**
When it comes to updating your iPhone to iOS 13, there are several things you can do to make the process smoother and less overwhelming. One important thing to do is to enable iCloud backup before updating. This will ensure that all of your data is backed up safely and can be restored in case anything goes wrong during the update process.
To do this, go to your iPhone's settings, then tap on "iCloud" and make sure that "iCloud Backup" is enabled. Next, tap on "Back Up Now" and wait for the backup process to complete. Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi and a power source, as this will help ensure that the update process goes smoothly.
Another thing you may want to consider doing before updating to iOS 13 is offloading unused applications. This can help reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred during the update process. To do this, head over to your iTunes and App Store settings, then turn on "Offload Unused Apps". Leave this setting enabled for at least 24 hours or more before updating, as this will give the app store time to upload any unused applications that you don't use regularly.
**Preparing Your iPhone for iOS 13**
In addition to enabling iCloud backup and offloading unused apps, there are several other things you can do to prepare your iPhone for the update. One important thing is to delete any messages that you won't be meeting in the future. This will help ensure that your messages sync properly with the cloud and don't cause any issues during the update process.
To do this, head over to your Messages app and select the conversation that you want to delete. Tap on "Edit" and then tap on the "Delete" button next to each message that you no longer need. Repeat this process for all of the conversations that you won't be using in the future.
Another thing you may want to consider doing is deleting any photos or videos that you don't need anymore. This will help reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred during the update process and make it easier for your iPhone to store and retrieve the files after the update.
To do this, head over to your Photos app and select the album that contains the photos or videos that you want to delete. Tap on "Edit" and then tap on the "Delete" button next to each photo or video that you no longer need. Repeat this process for all of the albums that contain photos or videos that you don't need anymore.
**Working with Your iPhone's Files App**
In iOS 13, there is a new feature called the Files app that allows you to access and manage your files on your iPhone directly from within the app. This can be a great way to transfer data between devices and ensure that your files are safely backed up.
To get started with the Files app, simply download and install it on your iPhone. Once installed, open the app and look for the "Recovery Drive" tab. Here, you'll find a thumb drive or USB stick where all of your photos and videos will be saved after updating to iOS 13.
**Transferring Data to Your Recovery Drive**
To transfer data to your recovery drive, simply select all of the files that you want to transfer by tapping on the "Select" button. Then, tap on "Share" and choose the "Recovery Drive" option from the list of available apps. The Files app will then transfer all of the selected files to your recovery drive.
Once the transfer process is complete, your photos and videos should be safely backed up on your recovery drive. You can then use this data to restore your iPhone in case anything goes wrong during the update process.
