k so you can go to settings and there is the box that has all The notification clear them because you don’t wanna update your iCloud storage or something like that you press that and then it should say iOS update 26. Something(that’s how I did it )ps if your parental controls on your phone it will make it so you automatically turn nine and you have to unlock your whole settings thing to access them

Hello,


There are different ways to ensure the highest iOS that your device will support is installed on your device. When updating, your device will update to the highest version currently available that it will support, or it will just say it is up to date (and can't go any higher) and won't install anything. If you want to run a higher system version than your current device is capable of running, you need to buy a newer device.
