Why is iOS 17 not Showing Up?

Are you meet the problem that your iOS 16 isn't showing up on your iPhone or iPad? You are not alone!

The iOS 16 update is supposed to be rolling out for your iPhone, but the thing is, it's not showing up on your device. You may have tried several times to get it to download or even schedule an update, and it still isn't there. What do you do now?

This article will show you how to fix iOS 16 not showing up using some simple steps. Let's move on.

Part 1. Why is the iOS 16 Update Not Showing Up?

If you are an iPhone user, you might be wondering why your phone is not showing the update of iOS16. Here are three reasons why you are facing this issue:

• An Apple Server problem
• Problem with your iPhone
• Storage Issue

When Apple releases a new iOS, millions of users will download it at the same time. Although Apple servers are built to manage such heavy traffic, they may fall due to technological difficulties.

In addition, some iPhone difficulties, such as a bad network connection, a beta iOS version, or other unknown flaws in the current iOS, may prevent you from getting the software update.

Part 2. 6 Common Ways to Fix iOS 16 Update Not Showing Up

01 Check the Compatibility

Before you start troubleshooting, ensure your device is compatible with the latest version of iOS. Here is the list of devices which is compatible with this upgrade.

This year, the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus customers were surprised to learn that both devices no longer support iOS 16. For the time being and in the future, there will be no substantial upgrades for iPhone 7, iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, and earlier users.

02 Check Apple Server

Sometimes, many people upgrade their devices, so the Apple server faces technical issues. You should check the Apple server to see if they are working.

03 Force Restart your Device

If you've double-checked that your device is on the iOS 16 supported list but still can't download the update, try restarting your device. To restart your iPhone, follow these steps:
