This poor performance could be due to either low battery health or low storage space.


To check your iPhone's battery health, open Settings, then tap Battery > Battery Health. If it is below 80%, consider getting the battery replaced.


To check your iPhone's storage, open Settings, then tap General > iPhone Storage. If you need to, free up some space and see if that helps.

Apple recommends that you keep your iPhone updated in order to have the best experience. They say that updating to the latest version 'provides the latest features, security updates and bug fixes' (Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support).


So, yes, updating would be your best option. It may take a while to download and install iOS 15 (depending on how large the update is) so make sure your iPhone has a strong, stable internet connection.
