The way to do it is very simple, just open the Settings app, then select General > Software update before clicking Download and Install.

Often the company will dismiss iPhones released five to six years ago as too old, meaning they don’t have the storage, RAM, or processing power to run the new operating system. With iOS 16, iPhone models are not compatible, including iPhone SE 2016. Users will need an iPhone released in 2017 or later, iPhone 8/X respectively.

Master iMessage’s New Features

Restore battery percentage icon on home screen and lock screen

Apple removed the ability to see battery percentage on all iPhones with a notch (iPhone X and later) a few years ago citing insufficient space.
