Check iPhone type & iOS version -> Go to: Settings -> General -> About.

If it is an iPhone 6 Plus -> iOS 12.5.5 is the last security updates for iPhone 6 Plus, -> released 23 september 2021.

Then you can update to iOS 12.5.5

 

If it is an iPhone 6S Plus you can update the iPhone to iOS 15, see this Apple article:

iPhone models compatible with iOS 15

iPhone models compatible with iOS 15.4 – Apple Support (UK)

Go to: Settings -> General -> Software Update.

You wil need about 7 GB device storage.
