Why not?


The OP's tag line says that they have an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 12.


The iPhone 6 Plus, a phone that ran iOS 8 when Apple released it nearly 11 years ago, cannot update past iOS 12. Many app developers have abandoned support for iOS 12 and the iPhone 6 Plus.


I'm guessing that it is time for the OP to go shopping for a new iPhone.

I gotta start looking at the tag line from now on.

Thanks Servant
