Why won’t my phone let me update? It says Stay connected to internet but I am. I can’t use service until I get it and I can’t

Restart your iPhone and make sure you have enough storage to install the update. Connect to good Wi-Fi (not hotspot) and make sure Aeroplane Mode is off.


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.
