Do you use VPN? If YES, then try turning the VPN off and see whether that resolves the issue. If you do not use VPN then:

Is it possible that your iPhone has an iOS 16 Beta Profile installed? See below how to double check:

——

Remove iOS 16 Beta Profile


  1. Open Settings.
  2. Tap on General.
  3. Now, tap on VPN and Device Management.
  4. If you have signed up for iOS 16 Beta, you will see it here. Tap on Remove Profile.
  5. Restart your device.

When your device restarts, go to Settings > General > Software Updates and check whether iOS 17 update is showing up or not.
