No automatic IOS update

My Iphone 11 is not updating IOS automatically. I switched automatic updates on and its charging overnight while connected to wifi. But I have to update to a new version manually every time.

Long shot: turn off automatic updates, restart the iPhone hard, and re-enable the updates. That’s cleared a few weird settings-caching bugs.

And confirm 15.2.1, no VPN apps loaded, nor security apps, and working Wi-Fi, full-power mode, no network firewall interference, etc…

No, that was a suggestion to check manually and see if that’s also failing. Sometimes an update can fix problems with updates, too. If you’re on iOS 15.2.1, automatic updates should work, if there’s a Wi-Fi connection to the ‘net, and no VPN add-on or other apps or a firewall blocking the updates.
