An iPhone 6/6plus can't be updated beyond 12.5.6, it doesn't have the hardware needed to run anything higher.

If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.

Because your phone cannot update to a higher IOS system, you will not be able to download an application that requires a more updated program. You can still check by going to 'Settings,' selecting 'General,' and then 'Software Update' to check for any updates and if your phone can install them, but it is unlikely that you can.
