Check all of these carefully:-

·       you are on a good Wi-Fi, (from 15.4 iPhone 7 up, you may be offered cellular update)  and  that the router is connected to the internet.

·       Plenty of spare storage – 6GB at least.

·       on charge with more than 20%, OR 

·       off charge with more than 50%

·       low power mode turned off. 

·       Check you have no Beta profile installed. (Check Settings, General, VPN & Device Management)

·       no VPN installed (Check Settings, General, VPN & Device Management)
