How to solve 'Unable to Verify Update' on iPhone

When updating to the latest version of iOS, you may encounter an 'Unable to Verify Update' message when trying to install the update.

If you read the full description, the error message explains that the update verification failed because the iPhone device is not connected to the Internet. So if you get this message, make sure you are connected to the Internet.

But if you still get this error message even though you are connected to the Internet, then you can use some of the methods below to solve it.

Restart iPhone

This is the most basic way you can do if you experience problems on your iPhone. Go to Settings > General, then swipe to the bottom and tap the Shutdown option, swipe from left to right to turn off the iPhone.

Re-download Update

You can try to re-download iOS updates if you experience problems when you want to install updates. But before that, you need to delete the iOS update file that has been downloaded.

Check Your iPhone’s Storage

Ensure your iPhone has sufficient storage for the new iOS installation. You can check this by going to Settings > General > iPhone Storage.

Verify Date & Time Settings

Make sure your iPhone’s date and time settings are correct.

Reset Your Network Settings

Network problems can sometimes prevent updates from being verified. You can reset your network settings by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Remember, you’ll need to re-enter your Wi-Fi passwords after doing this.

Reset All Settings

If the above steps don’t work, consider resetting all settings on your device.

Use Finder/iTunes for the Update

If you’re still having trouble, try updating your device using Finder or iTunes.
