Welcome and thank you for reaching out. 🤗
Try the following steps:
- Disable any VPN connections and restart your iPhone or tell Siri: "Restart".
- Learn how to update your iPhone to the latest version of iOS.
- Learn what to do if your iPhone won’t update.
NOTE: According to Apple: After a software update is installed for iOS, iPadOS, tvOS, watchOS and visionOS, it cannot be downgraded to the previous version.
