I have an iPhone 7S. The 16.6.1 update is not loading.

I tried to upload 16.6.1, it went fast at first, then slowed and failed. Then it said I had to update with a 15 version, so I did. Now it says my phone is up to date, and won’t show me versions of 16 in the autoupdate area.

iPhone 7 Plus, iOS 15
