Update software

How do I update my phone software on my 6S iPhone when I don’t have any internet WiFi at home where my phone is at 12:00 am or the middle of the night. And my phone doesn’t do it when I am connected because it is not charging and the middle of the night. Can’t I get it to just use my phone data I have unlimited 4G LTE with strait talk. So why does it need WiFi to work. Or how can I get it to update when ever I do get around WiFi instead of doing nothing because of it’s not the right time.

At this time You MUST be connected to a WiFi Network when you update your iPhone.

Once you are connected to a WiFi Network then you can open Settings ➔ General ➔ Software Update - Follow instructions from that screen.
