iOS 18 update for iPhone is Paused

Why does my ios update get paused even though WiFi is good, mobile data is also selected & good.

It happens during daytime and update while I sleep. Can I force the "paused" update somehow?

The update being paused is usually an indication that the download process was interrupted. If you perform a forced-restart of your iPad/iPhone you should be able to restart the update process.

When updating your iPad/iPhone, keep the device connected to its Power Adapter throughout the update process - as this will keep the WiFi connection alive during the update.
