Updating an iPhone 7 Past iOS15:

A. You can't.  The iPhone 7 will only install to iOS 15.7.9. 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

its not updated iOS 17


If you read the post by TheLittles, you should already know why your iPhone 7 Plus is not updated to iOS 17.


The iPhone 7 Plus cannot run anything higher than the latest version of iOS 15 – currently, iOS 15.8. There is no point in asking for iOS 17, as it will never be offered on that phone.

I need update my iPhone


If you have an iPhone 7 Plus, and it's not already running the latest release of iOS 15, you can update it using the directions in the Support articles and User Tips mentioned earlier in this thread.

The iPhone 7 Plus doesn't support iOS 16 or later, if that's the type of update that you're thinking about.

My iPhone 7 is iOS 15 already but the App Store won’t let me to download Google chat


The Google Chat app on the App Store requires "iOS 15.0 or later", so the version of iOS that you have isn't the problem. Make sure that you have a payment method on file with Apple. I believe that's often required even to download "free" apps. You don't get charged for "free" apps, but many of those are like vending machines and have "in-app purchases"; you will get charged if you make an "in-app purchase."
