How to retrieve disappeared iOS 17 update on iPhone

So , i recently bought an Iphone 12 so it is running on IOS 15 . Since i wanted some apps that required 16+ i decided to try to upgrade to IOS 17 which was then available. I downloaded it and since my battery was low it couldn’t be updated at the time. I now want to update to IOS 17 but it dissapeared, what do i do to bring it back if thats possible? Thank you!

Update Disappearing:

If you are saying that the update just downloaded, but did not proceed to the update, then try updating using a computer or Cellular.

IMPORTANT: If you have an option to update, however, then be certain you backup your iPhone first. That way, you will have something to restore your iPhone from should anything go wrong with the update
