To update the phone check these requirements:

  • The phone must be charged to over 50%
  • Low Power Mode must be OFF
  • You cannot be connected through VPN
  • You must have a Wi-Fi connection (not cellular)
  • While not a requirement per se, you should plug in the phone or put it in a wireless charger to assure it stays on and connected to Wi-Fi
