It is unclear what model you have.


•If you have a 6S as shown in your stats, you can update to iOS 15.7.9


•If you have a 6 as I suspect since your stats also show you are on iOS 12, then an iPhone 6/6 plus can't be updated beyond 12.5.7, it doesn't have the hardware needed to run anything higher. If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.


To update to 12.5.7 -


Go to Settings > General > Software Update.

If it is an iPhone 6S you can update to iOS 15.7.9, see -> iPhone models compatible with iOS 12 -> iOS 16.

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.
