Hello,




There are different ways to ensure the highest iOS that your device will support is installed on your device. For an iPhone 6S or 6S Plus that's iOS 15.7.9 The "latest" version is 16, soon to be 17 (neither of which your phone can run).


This support article has instructions about updating an iPhone or iPad wirelessly —> Update your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


You can also use Mac and PC computers to update system software, as described in this article —> Update iOS on iPhone - Apple Support


When updating, your device will update to the highest version currently available that it will support, or it will just say it is up to date (and can't go any higher) and won't install anything. If you want to run a higher system version than your current device will run, that you need to buy a newer device.

Updating an iPhone 6s to iOS16:

You Can't. This is not an option. Your iPhone model(6s Plus) is incompatible with the latest version: iOS 16 - Apple.


So, what to try...

Update Using a Computer:

You can use a Computer to update. Read My User Tip: Making Use of a Computer for Updating an iOS Device - User Tip. If any updates are available, they will install, sure enough.
