In general you could go this route: Settings > general > Softwareupdate. A new version will be listed there.

But keep in mind, the highest supported versiob for the iPhone 7 is iOS 15.7. 3.


If you are already using that, you can't update any further. So iOS16 is not installable on an iPhone 7.

Here is a list of capable iOS16-devices: iOS 16 - Apple
