If you can't update, Remove and download the Update again


If you still can't install the latest version of iOS or iPadOS, try downloading the update again:


  1. Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage.
  2. Find the update in the list of apps.
  3. Tap the update, then tap Delete Update.
  4. Go to Settings > General > Software Update and download the latest update.
