Will a software update cause me to lose everything?

In the settings on my iphone it says that there's a software update. I have no idea how icloud works so none of my apps or anything are on my computer. If i click "install update" on my phone, will everything be wiped from my phone? It is an iphone 4s.

No, it won't.
but you don't want that update though, it's ***.
You're better off without it, so many people are having problems with it.
But if you really want, it won't delete anything.

I have an iPod Touch that I use and I was worried about that too! I'm going to tell you how you can save your stuff.

1. Go to iTunes

2. Sync your iPhone

3. You can save your pics to your computer if you want- but I didn't (I still have my pics. I took a little while through

4. DO THE UPDATE!

5. Update is now done!
