Hi hasti115,


Thank you for posting in Apple Support Communities. Are you attempting to download and install an iOS update? If so, you'll want to do the following:


  1. Confirm you are connected to a strong Wi-Fi network. To connect go to Settings > Wi-Fi. Check out: Connect to Wi-Fi on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.
  2. Be sure your iPhone battery is charged to 50% or higher. If not, you'll want to connect to your charger. Check out: Charge the iPhone battery - Apple Support.
  3. Confirm you have enough storage to download the update. To confirm your available storage go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage. Check out: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.


Check out additional steps you can take here: If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


Hope that helps!
