Your iPhone 8 was discontinued from the latest iOS updates a few years ago. As a matter of fact it didn't receive iOS 17 or 18, so as a result it won't receive iOS 26. The latest software is supported on the iPhone 11 and later.

Hello, I have an iPhone 8 and apparently there is a new iOS 26 update that everyone in my contacts has been getting and I was wondering how to get it on my iPhone 8?

You cannot get iOS 16, 17, or 26 on your iPhone 8. For the Phone 8, an eight-year-old model that originally ran iOS 11, iOS 16 is the end of the line.

why my iphone 8 cant update to ios 26

The processor inside the iPhone 8 is not compatible with iOS 26. The iPhone 8 can run iOS 16.....but it cannot run iOS 17, iOS 18, or iOS 26.

You need a new phone if you want to run iOS 26. An iPhone 16 or iPhone 17 would be recommended. Here is a complete list of iPhones that will work with iOS 26:

Fundamentally, because Apple does not support iPhone 8 past iOS 16.

The A11 Bionic processor has known hardware security issues.

iOS 18 and later support only Apple silicon processors without those particular issues, too.

As others have said, you are not speaking to Apple.

Repeating a question that was already answered in this two-page thread, and that three volunteers answered again, in response to your posts, will not change the answer.

If you want iOS 26, you need to buy a newer iPhone.

What part of we are not Apple are you not understanding?

No one is going to email you.

This is a user to user forum and you antique iPhone 8 cannot run iOS 26.

Re: “I don’t know how to install iOS 26 in iPhone 8”

That’s because you cannot install iOS 26 on an iPhone 8. Nor can you install iOS 17 or 18. The iPhone 8 cannot update past iOS 16.*.

No iOS 17, 18, or 26 update for that iPhone. Ever.
