How To Remove Rapid Security Response Updates in iOS 16

iOS 16 brings a new Rapid Security Response feature that is designed to make security updates quicker and easier than doing a full iOS version update.

By default, Rapid Security Responses are installed automatically, but Apple does offer a way to remove them.

You can remove a Rapid Security Response from your device by doing the following:

  1. Go to Settings -> General -> About.
  2. Tap iOS Version.
  3. Tap Remove Security Response.

You can then reinstall the Rapid Security Response at a later date, or wait for it to be installed permanently as part of a standard software update.
