Why can’t I install my iOS 17 update?

I downloaded the update but it had a problem verifying. I can’t download Netflix and some apps because it keeps saying I’m required to have iOS 16 update. What do I do?

iPhone 11, iOS 14

You can update your iPhone to iOS 17, see -> iPhone models compatible with iOS 17 – Apple Support (UK)



You need about 8 GB device storage and good Service and/or Wi-Fi.

If they are On, turn Off Hotspot & VPN.

Charge the battery > 70%.

Go to Settings -> General -> Software Update -> Download and Install.
