Have you ever wished your Mac would update macOS on its own? Yes, you can enable automatic macOS Mojave by just following the simple steps mentioned in this guide.
Enabling automatic updates is great for convenience, but it is recommended to set up Time Machine for regular backups. Sometimes, there is a chance that an automatic update could go awry and lead to data loss.
Thus if you are using the automatic update feature then it is important to use Time Machine for automated backups.
How to enable Automatic update of macOS Mojave-
Step- 1: In the Apple menu and choose “System Preferences”
Step- 2: Now select the “software update” preference panel, then choose either of the following options:
I. To automatically update both MacOS software and Mac Apps. Click on “Automatically keep my Mac up to date”
II. To only update the software, click the “Advanced” option then check “Check for updates”, “Download new update when available”, “Install macOS updates” and “Install system data files and security updates”.
Step- 3: Exit out of the settings when completed
When you enable the above settings, the Mac will periodically check for any available system software update. This process usually happens overnight if the Mac is on, otherwise, it happens when the machine is not in use.
This is not a new feature in macOS compared to prior releases.
Enabling this feature likely depends on how you use Mac, if you backup your data, whether you use the combo updates feature, and other preferences.
Later, if you decide to disable this feature, undo all the steps mentioned above by unchecking the selected options in the settings.
