How to update:

Before you start the installation, a little preparation will help ensure that downloading and installing iOS 17 goes as smoothly as possible:

• Make sure your iPhone is connected to its charger. You won't be able to download iOS 17 if your battery is below 50%, so it's safer to keep your phone charging while you update. Even if it's connected to the charger, the battery must be above 20% to install iOS 17.
• Connect to Wi-Fi. You won't be able to download iOS 17 using your mobile data, so connect to a stable Wi-Fi network before starting the installation.
• Back up your data. Before updating, it's a good idea to create a backup of your data.

Once you've completed the steps above, start the process as follows:

Go to Settings > General > Software Update. You may need to tap Upgrade to iOS 17 at the bottom of the screen and then Download and Install, or you may be taken straight to Download and Install. Either way, if your iPhone has a passcode, you'll be asked to enter it. Agree to Apple's terms and then wait.

If there isn't enough space on your device, you'll see a message asking to temporarily remove apps. Tap Continue, and the apps will be reinstalled once the upgrade is complete.

Once you've started the update process, you should see a progress bar, along with an estimate of how long the download will take. Once the download is complete, restart your iPhone and wait for iOS 17 to install. When your iPhone starts up, follow any prompts, and iOS 17 will then be installed on your device.
