Before you update, it’s a good idea to delete apps, photos and videos you don’t want anymore. It makes room for the update and also helps keep your phone clean.

Make sure to install the iOS 10.1 update because it includes an important security patch. It also includes fixes and fun stuff like the anticipated Portrait mode for iPhone 7 Plus that helps your photos look like a pro took them.
