I didn't receive the iOS 26 update
That would be because the iPhone XS is not compatible with iOS 26.
What should I do?
Continue to use iOS 18.
If you want to run iOS 26 or the current version iOS 27....you will need a new iPhone.

Your phone is not compatible with it. iOS 18 is the end of the line for an iPhone XS.

Your choice: Live with iOS 18, or buy a new phone that is compatible with iOS 27.
