I am being required to install the newest iOS 16 update to install Microsoft Word. However my IPhone 7 does not have the option to download this update. Please help this is a work phone and I really need this app.
iPhone 7, iOS 15
Sorry, but its not possible. The iPhone 7 is not compatible with iOS 16.
iOS 15.8.3 is the most up to date iOS version an iPhone 7 can run.
The iPhone 7 cannot install iOS 16 because it cannot meet the hardware requirement for iOS 16.
If you really have to have Microsoft Word, they are effectively telling you that you need a new phone.
If this is a work-issued phone, and your employer needs for employees to be able to run Microsoft Word on their phones, the solution seems pretty straightforward.
Go to your manager and/or the IT department, explain why the phone that they gave you can no longer do the job, and ask them to get you a new (or newer) phone. If you are doing their work, on their equipment, then maintaining and replacing that equipment is their job.
Update iPhone 7 model to IOS 16
