Troubleshooting an iPhone Update:

There is likely (A.)an error connecting to Apple's servers or simply put: (B.)it is just incompatible. So, see if this is an option. If so, perform the update using a computer. See my User Tip: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip

Updating an iPhone:

A. What to Update:

Update Installed Apps along with the iOS.

B. Determining if an iOS Update will Install:

How to do so...

I. Verify Compatibility:

Identify your iPhone model. The first thing that comes to mind in incompatibility being the culprit. So, confirm the model of your iPhone. If iPhone model is incompatible with iOS 16 then it is because you iPhone does not meet the hardware requirements for this iOS version(s).

II. If Compatible...

1. Back Up First:

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update

then...

2. Proceed with the Update:

Use my User Tip:  Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip

IF.....your phone is qualified to run IOS 16......(an iPhone 6 or iPhone 7 is not).....

Tap Settings

Tap General

Tap Software Update

The iOS 16 update will appear to install

If you're referring to an iPhone 8, second generation iPhone SE, or any newer model, use a computer or the Software Update function in Settings. Otherwise, it's incapable of 16 or above.
