This message indicates that you're in the queue for the next available download slot. If Apple's servers are particularly busy, as they tend to be right after a major iOS release, you may also see "Update requested" for a while before iOS 16 begins downloading. It may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour or more to download iOS 16, prepare it, and install it on your iPhone. Step 4: Select Download and install to begin the process. After a few seconds, the iOS 16 update should appear. Once you've backed up your iPhone, you're ready to take the plunge and install iOS 16. Jesse Hollington / Digital Trends Install iOS 16 You can find detailed instructions on how to do this in our article on how to back up your iPhone. Backing up to your computer will ensure you have a backup to fall back on in case you want to go back. Only the three most recent iCloud Backups are retained, so it won't take long for your iOS 15 backups to be pushed out of the rotation. You can't restore a backup made from a newer version of iOS onto an iPhone running an older version, and iOS will automatically back up your iPhone to iCloud in the background every 24 hours.

We also recommend making an extra backup to your Mac or PC in case you decide to return to iOS 15 for whatever reason. However, we strongly recommend backing up over a Wi-Fi network unless you have an unlimited data plan. If you're using a 5G-capable iPhone and your carrier allows it, you may be able to update your iCloud backup over a cellular data connection. If you'd like to make a more current backup, tap Back up now to update your backup. If this is recent enough, then you're good to go. Step 4: Note the "Last successful backup" time below Back up now.
