Hello ~ You can update to iOS 12.5.7 but no further with your iPhone 6. If you need a higher version of iOS you will need a newer iPhone. Click below to shop for a new device…

The only solution is to replace your 10 year old iPhone 6 with a newer model that supports the version you need:
If your phone is eligible to be updated go to Settings/General/Software Update and follow the instructions.
Unfortunately, you are stuck at iOS 12.5.7 on the iPhone 6.
There will be no more updates for the iPhone 6.
You will need a newer phone to run a higher iOS version.
