I don't believe that is possible. The most recent iPhone that is able to run iOS 6 is the iPhone 5, and it can only go as high as iOS 10. Some of the earlier iPhones that can run iOS 6 cannot even upgrade that far.


If your question is really about upgrading an iPhone 6 to iOS 15, the answer is still No. The iPhone 6 can only go as high as iOS 12.

You cannot update an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus to iOS 14.0.


if you have an iPhone 6 or 6 Plus, your hardware is too old to be compatible with iOS 13.0 or anything later. If the Facebook and Instagram apps are only available for iOS 14.0 and above, then the logical conclusion is that the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus are incompatible with those apps. If you want to access those services, you may need to do it through Safari (if possible), or to get a newer iPhone.
