Can you decline Apple update?

Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the update you do not want. However it seems it remains valid only a certain amount of time because after about two months it disappeared.

How do I decline a software update?

To disable system update, try any of these two methods, the first one being recommended:

  1. Tap Turn Off or Disable button and then OK.
  2. In case this button is grayed out, tap on Force Stop > OK to turn the process off temporarily. In such case, there is a possibility that the app may turn on automatically after some time.
