iOS 14.8 Update Won’t Install

I have an iPhone 7. I downloaded iOS 14.8 but I keep getting a message saying “Unable to install update” when I try to install it. How can I get the update to install?

iPhone 7, iOS 12

**** Sjg1991,



We see you have an issue getting iOS 14.8 installed, and we'd be happy to help work on that with you.



We'd recommend checking out the steps on this page here for the issue you're experiencing: If your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch won’t update


It looks like the issue you're having matches the screenshot found in the "If you can’t reach the update server or can’t verify the update" section, so be sure to try the steps in there. If it persists after that, scroll down to the "Remove and download the update again" section.



Take care.
