How to Fix iOS 17 Not Showing Up in Settings Software Update

1. Check the compatibility

Before diving into advanced solutions, make sure to check if your device is compatible with the latest iOS update or not. Both iOS 17 and iOS 15 are compatible with only selected iPhone models. So, if your iDevice doesn’t come under this list, you won’t be able to install the latest iOS version. As of now, iOS 17 is available for iPhone SE and later models.

2. Check Apple Server Status

In case your device is compatible with the latest iOS 17 updates, but you’re still unable to download them, the next step would be to check the Apple server status. As soon as Apple releases a new iOS update, millions of users start downloading it simultaneously. As a result, the Apple servers often experienced unnecessary load and shut down unexpectedly. If that’s the case, you won’t be able to install the latest iOS updates until Apple resumes the servers.

3. Restart Your Device

In many cases, a minor software glitch may also result in iOS 17 not showing up in software update on your iDevice. In this situation, instead of diving into advanced solutions, simply reboot your device and see if this fixes the problem.

4. Check Your Network Connection and Reset Network Setting if Necessary

Since an unstable Internet connection can also be the reason behind the iOS 17 update not showing up, make sure to check if your Internet connection is working or not. To do this, try opening any other Internet-based application like Instagram or Uber and check if it works properly or not.

In case the Internet connection is lagging, you can either connect to a different Internet connection or reset the network settings to fix the problem. In some situations, the Internet works fine, but the network settings are not configured properly. If that’s the case, resetting the network connection will fix the problem and you’ll be able to install the latest iOS 17 updates without any hassle.

Here’s how to reset network settings on an iPhone/iPad:

• Step 1: Go to Settings on your device and click General.

• Step 2: In the General window, click on Reset and then tap Reset Network Settings on the next screen.

  

If asked, confirm your actions and the system will automatically reset the network settings on your device.

5. Remove iOS beta profile

If you are still unable to see the iOS 17 updates, you may want to remove the iOS beta profile. Many users sign up for the beta profiles to get the latest updates more quickly. However, in some cases, the beta profile may trigger unexpected system glitches and restrict you from installing the latest updates. So, if none of the previous solutions work, make sure to remove the iOS beta profile to get the latest iOS updates on your device.

• Step 1: Again, open the Settings window and click General.

• Step 2: Scroll down and click on Profile. Select the iOS beta profile from the list and follow the on-screen instructions to delete it.

  

After you have successfully removed the iOS beta profile, simply restart the device and try installing the latest iOS updates.
