You cannot update your iPhone 8 Plus to iOS 15. You must update to the latest available version for your iPhone which is iOS 16.4.1 now. If you're on iOS 14 now, you'll need to update from a PC with iTunes, or a Mac, as it's not possible to skip an entire version when updating directly from your iPhone's settings.

Connecting to Wifi is the first part and then getting connected to the Internet is the second

  2. If you are not connected to the internet is the sole issue of Router / Modem Settings. Contact your ISP immediately



For your Internet connection.

  • Over Cellular: contact your Carrier (Cellular Service Provider). The agency who issued the SIM to you
  • Over WiFI: Contact your ISP (Internet Service Provider), the agency who provided the Internet Service on your Modem/Router to you
