Troubleshooting iPhone Updates:

A. And when you try?...What happens? Do you get any error messages? If so, what do they read? Providing a screenshot of what is in the screen may most certainly help. (IMPORTANT: Be sure to block out personal info by covering it with red rectangles and such). Go Here: Take a Screenshot or Screen Recording on iPhone - Apple Support

B. About Internet Connections:

Just because you are connected to WiFi doesn’t mean you are connected to the Internet. Note that you might be using internal services. Or it could be that Screen Time is getting in the way.
