Unable to download certain apps on my iPhone 7 due to software version

I have an iPhone 7 with the software version 15 on it. I am unable to download certain apps that say they need the 16 or better version of software, like cash app, Venmo, and all of the banking apps that I regularly use. What do I do?

Your iPhone 7 will not work with a newer iOS on it. To be able to use apps that require a newer iOS, you are going to have to get a new phone, or a newer phone that will support the newer iOS. You cannot install an app requiring a newer iOS if it cannot be installed on your device.
