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.

Troubleshooting iPhone Updates:

I. Troubleshooting "No Service":

Is "No Service" is shown on the top-left corner of your screen? If so, go here to fix that: If you See No Service or Searching on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


II. Being Connected to the Internet:

Just because you have a network connection, that does not mean that you are connected to the Internet. You may be using internal network services.


III. Updating an iPhone 7 Past iOS15:

A. You can't.  The iPhone 7 will only install to iOS 15. See here: Update your iPhone or iPad Software if you're Experiencing Issues with Location, Date, and Time - Apple Support. And, for the note, even if you could update, only the latest compatible version will install.

So, what to Try:

B. Update Using a Computer:

Have a Computer Handy? If so, try using a computer to update. Use my User Tip Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If any updates are availabe, they will install, sure enough
