Here's a little trick that should get it working!


  • 1. Open Settings and browse for General -> iPhone Storage.
  • 2. Search for the iOS 15.7 update file and tap on it.
  • 3. Go for Delete Update and confirm.
  • 4. Reboot iPhone using the force restart trick.
  • 5. Return to Settings -> General -> Software Update and restart the iOS 15.7 update process!


This just deletes the downloaded update and restarts it again. Sometimes technology has off days
