What happens when you try?

Can you post a screenshot of the whole screen, it could reveal why you aren't able to update.

Make sure you:

• Are using a WiFi connection (not a hotspot).

• You have an active cell signal (You need both WiFi and cellular service to perform the upgrade).

• Are not using a VPN connection.

• Have your battery charged at least 50%. Better yet, keep it plugged in during the update.

• Do not have power save mode turned on.

• Do not have a beta version installed.

• You have at least 10 gigs of storage available.

No, you don't.

You have the option to install Betas there, but you won't be able to install iOS 18 Beta on an SE at all.

iOS 18 is simply not supported on an iPhone SE.

If you try to install it, its just going to fail.

There's a reason your iOS version 16.7.10 says it's up to date.

Because several million other users are doing the same thing. The servers only have so much bandwidth.

Hello~ As pointed out scroll down to reveal iOS18…

~Katana-San~

scrolling down does not fix this problem either. there is no update available to receive ios18 once your on 18.1 apparently.

Not on my screen

Bought new iPhone have to update to iOS 18

phone won’t update just keeps down loading nothing happens

any advice what I can do

Download itunes to your computer, connect your phone via wire to the computer and do it through itunes. Clanky but worked for me after everything to do it directly via iphone failed.

Why my device not get ios 18.0.1 update ?

What device do you have?

What iOS version is it running?

What happens when you go to Settings ➜ General ➜ Software Update?

Apparently you missed the part of the beta agreement where it explains you can't discuss or get help for a device running the beta...

No not there and my 14 pro max will not update to 17.7 either
