To update over the air from the phone all of these requirements must be met:

You need at least 6 GB of free storage
You must be connected to a Wi-Fi network (and not a personal hotspot)
The phone must be charged to at least 50%, and preferably plugged in so it stays above 50% during the update
The phone must not be in Low Power Mode
The phone must not be connected through VPN
The phone cannot be in Airplane mode

If you can't meet all of them you can still update using your computer.
