Hi there,


It seems like your iPhone needs to be updated through your computer.


If you use a Windows computer, you'll need to install iTunes on your computer. Then, you can follow this guide: Update software on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch in iTunes on PC - Apple Support


If you use a mac, you can follow this guide: Update software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


I hope that helps
