Can you post a screenshot of the whole screen, it could reveal why you aren't able to update.


Make sure you:

• Are using a WiFi connection (not a hotspot).

• You have an active cell signal (You need both WiFi and cellular service to perform the upgrade).

• Are not using a VPN connection.

• Have your battery charged at least 50%. Better yet, keep it plugged in during the update.

• Do not have power save mode turned on.

• Do not have a beta version installed.

• You have at least 10 gigs of storage available.

Deepthi, is your iPhone issue by your employer or another organization to you? If YES, then it may be managed by the employer (or another issuing organization) through a management profile. This may be preventing you from updating your iPhone and greying the update button. In this case, you should contact the IT administrator and question them about installing updates.
