Apple has recently released the latest iOS system, iOS 15, and you may be excited to upgrade your iPhone to this new version. However, some of you may have encountered an issue where your device shows that your iOS is up to date. If you’re pretty sure that your device is available for an iOS 15 update, then keep on reading.
Here are some methods that you can try to fix the “iOS 15 not showing up” issue and update your iPhone successfully:
Method 1: If you’re running an iOS 15 beta version, then you may not be able to get the formal iOS 15 notification. In this case, go to “General” in Settings and find “Profile”. Remove the profile and then restart your device. When it boots, check for the iOS 15 update again.
Method 2: Check your WiFi status. Poor WiFi connection can lead to a failure in checking for update. Try resetting your network settings and reconnecting to WiFi when it boots. If you have trouble using the current WiFi, consider changing to another available WiFi.
Method 3: Try restarting your device. If you’re using iPhone 8 and above, besides the power button, you need to press the volume down at the same time. Then slide to power off and press the power button again to reboot.
Method 4: Connect your device to a computer and launch iTunes. Click “Check for Update” on iTunes, and it will update your iPhone to iOS 15. However, if an error occurs while using iTunes, you can try using a more convenient tool called Tenorshare Reiboot. It can fix more than 150 iOS system issues, including updating issue. Simply download Tenorshare Reiboot, launch it, click “Start”, and then choose “Standard Repair”. Reiboot will automatically fetch the iOS 15 firmware for you, and the whole process won’t cause any data loss. You just need to wait for the update progress to be completed.
Once your device has updated to iOS 15 successfully, you can check it out by going to the home screen and settings page. You’ll notice that some icon and widget UI have changed, and your iPhone is now running on iOS 15.
In conclusion, if you’re having trouble with iOS 15 not showing up, try out these methods and see if they work for you. Don’t forget to back up your device before updating, and stay patient during the whole process.
