First check that your iPad supports iPadOS 17

iPad models compatible with iPadOS 17 - Apple Support


If your iPad does not support iPadOS 17, it will download the latest update available to your iPad


Check that:

  • You are connected to a Wi-Fi network (you cannot update using a personal hotspot)
  • You have sufficient storage to download and install the update
  • All VPNs are off
  • Check that you do not a have beta software profile installed by going to Settings > General > VPN & Device Management. Remove the profile if you have one installed.
  • Check this support page If your iPhone or iPad won't update - Apple Support


If all these solutions do not work, you can always update using a computer

Updating if you're using a Mac with macOS Catalina or later

Or updating if you're using a Mac with macOS Mojave or earlier or a Windows PC
