Ever since the release of iOS 8, few users have faced an annoying issue where they haven’t been able to go past the Terms and Conditions screen when they try to install the OTA update.

The issue has been plaguing users even with the iOS 8.1.2 update. If you’re facing the issue, then try this fix.

Login to iCloud

If you tap on Agree, and nothing happens, then tap on Disagree to cancel the installation process. Then navigate to Settings > iCloud, tap on the Apple ID/email address, which will prompt you to enter the password. You may be prompted to accept the terms and conditions. Tap on Agree to accept the terms and conditions and to login to your iCloud account.

That’s it. Now try to install the OTA update again by navigating to Settings > General > Software Update. You should now be able to get past the Terms and Conditions screen and successfully install the update.

Restart or Hard Reset your device

If that doesn’t work, then try to restart or hard reset your device, and try to install the update after your device has rebooted.

Install update using iTunes

If that doesn’t help then you can use iTunes to install the update on your device. If you need help, follow our guide for step-by-step instructions:
