Is this concerning your iPhone?

Sometimes, a restart will help solve these issues.

If you have a Mac or PC available, you can try updating it tethered to a computer, that will sometimes solve issues with on device updates and prevent errors if you don't have enough storage available on your phone etc.

These are the instructions for updating with a computer...

if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later

if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC


If its concerning an iPad or Mac, please post back.
