So do the last part of the support article and that is delete the update and start again.

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.


If you don’t see the update in the list of apps or if the issue

happens again, you need to update your device with your computer using

Finder or iTunes.


If you want to do the update over the air, make sure you're plugged in to charge and you have a strong Wifi connection. If that's not possible, connect your phone to your computer and do the update using iTunes.
