Can't download and install software update on iphone 8

I have been trying to get the latest update on an iphone 8.


I go to Settings = General = Software update = Download and install


Then it shows a Temporarily Remove Apps popup, I tap continue, it then looks like it is working but after about 30 secs it shows the Download and Install option as blue again.


I just updated an iphone 7 this morning on same wifi etc with no problems.


Any ideas much appreciated.


iPhone 8 Plus

Is it possible that you do not have enough space available to not only download the update but to also install the update on your iPhone?

I recommend that you try the update with the use of a computer. Here are the instructions on how to do that ➔ Update your iPhone using your computer (Scroll down in the article until you reach the section, Update your Device using a Computer).
