Assuming your iPhone is what is listed in your tag line and it is an iPhone 6s, the highest iOS version you can run on your phone is iOS is 15.8. Google Chat requires an iPhone running at least iOS 15. So if you do indeed own a 6s, you need to update to iOS 15.8.


But if your tag line is incorrect and you instead own an iPhone 6, the maximum iOS version is can is iOS 12.5.7 and that would mean you cannot run Google Chat on such an old iPhone.


Go to Settings > General > About > Model and Version and report back what you actually have.

Updating an iPhone 6s Plus:


Update Using a Computer and Ethernet:

Alternatively, you can use Ethernet through a computer.... To avoid this persistent notification on your iPhone, try updating via a computer. Go Here: Update your iPhone Using a Computer - User Tip. If you cannot use Wi-Fi, then use Ethernet. On the computer, you would connect it through Ethernet, going directly into your router. For a Mac (or PC) that does not have Ethernet, this would be the adapter to use: Belkin USB-C to Gigabit Ethernet Adapter - Apple
