If your tag line is correct and you own an iPhone 8, which is still on iOS 14, you have skipped a couple years worth of updates, so your best bet is to use your computer to update your iPhone to the highest level iOS version it can support, which for an iPhone 8 is iOS 16.7.7 If you need the most current iOS 17.4.1 your iPhone is not capable of being updated to iOS 17.
