I have not been getting ios software update notifications on my iPhone

I have not been getting ios software update notifications on my iPhone (currently 8+, previously 6) for over a year now, despite having all the relevant options set up correctly; I have to manually search for it. Is there a way to fix this ?

The only way that you will get notification of an update is if you have the device connected to power and wi-fi and the device is locked. When an iOS update is released, over the course of a few days, when the device is locked, on wi-fi and power, the update can download via wi-fi. I've only seen it a couple of times on my devices, but I generally read about releases and update before it would appear on my device. If you update shortly after release, that would explain why you don't receive a notice.
