To check if the profile is active on your device, go to Settings > General > Software Update. If it displays "iOS is up to date," you have successfully blocked updates.
If you still see a new update available, go to Beta Updates and select Off. Then, navigate to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and check if a software update has been downloaded. If it has, select it and delete it from your iPhone or iPad.
