You can update your devices at any time the update is available. A manual update can be performed at any time


Automatic updates will only occur when the iPad is connected to both WiFi and its Power Adapter - and the iPad is locked. These conditions are perhaps most likely to occur when the device is charging overnight - and is otherwise idle.


There is no technical benefit to leaving an iPad to update while unattended.
