Software update

I have the iPhone 8 Plus and I’m using it to set up my Apple Watch, but my Apple Watch keeps telling me my phone is not up to date with software even though I just downloaded iOS13.6.1.

iPhone 7, iOS 10

Downloading the update is not the same as installing the update.


From the screenshot, it doesn't appear the update has actually been installed on your iPhone.
