Restart your iPhone and make sure you have enough storage to install the update. Connect to stable Wi-Fi, not hotspot.


If this doesn’t work, then go into Settings > General > iPhone Storage > iOS 15/16 and delete the update, then go back and re-install the update.


Make sure you aren’t using any VPNs, proxies or have a beta profile installed.



If all of the above doesn’t work, you will need to update using a computer.


Learn how to update your device manually if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later, or if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC.
