iPhone 6 is an outdated iPhone it can’t be update to a higher iOS (13 and later).

The last security updates iOS 12.5.6.

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.

(if you haven't already done that).

 

Most apps require iOS 13 or later.

Considering a newer type of iPhone?

Please check -> iPhone type & iOS version -> Go to Settings -> General -> About.

If it is iPhone 6S you can update to iOS 15.7.1. 

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.

You need about 6 GB device storage and good Service & Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Charge the battery > 70%.
