My phone won’t update

Make sure that your iPhone is setup to meet the following requirements before you attempt to update the iOS version-

• Your iPhone must have a fast Wi-Fi connection; you cannot update over cellular data or a cellular hotspot
• The iPhone can not be in Low Power mode
• The battery state of charge must be above 50%
• Your iPhone must have at least 6GB or more free storage space
• Your iPhone cannot be connected through VPN
• If you are not planning for it to update automatically you should turn this option off, as it will only update when the phone is plugged in, connected to Wi-Fi and locked
• You should leave the phone plugged in until it finishes updating, both to assure that it remains above 50% and to keep Wi-Fi enabled (Wi-Fi turns off when the phone sleeps if not connected to power).

Open Settings ➔ General ➔ iPhone Storage: Here, locate the update file. Its title should begin with iOS 14.x.x. Select it and then Delete the update.

After that, try updating your iPhone again by opening Settings ➔ General ➔ Software Update.

There is one other option, however, you will need to sign out of iCloud, update the iPhone, and then sign back into iCloud.

Go back to the main page in Settings ➔ Apple ID (Your Name at Top) : Tap on the Sign Out option at the bottom.

After the above you can attempt and complete the update process. Once the process has been successfully completed then you can go back to your Apple ID and sign back into iCloud.

Try and Force ReStart Your iPhone as instructed in this article by Apple ➔ How to Force ReStart your iPhone.

Once it is restarted then try the update process again.
