An iPhone 6 plus can't be updated beyond 12.5.7, it doesn't have the hardware needed to run anything higher.

Most apps these days require a higher operating system than what the iPhone 6 plus can run.


If you need a higher iOS version, you will have to purchase a newer phone.


To update to 12.5.7 -


Go to Settings > General > Software Update.
