Types of iOS updates

Top Reasons Why iOS Updates Don’t Arrive (Message: Latest Installed Software)
1. The user will see this message if the device no longer supports the new updates. Check if your iPhone or iPad is really compatible with the latest iOS update. This can be done, for example, on this page.
2. Signing Last Installed Software can be confusing if a public version of iOS (everyone) is installed on the iPhone or iPad, and a user who is not a registered developer or member of Beta Testing Programs saw the news about the release of the beta firmware.
3. On the other hand, this message may appear if a beta version of the firmware has been installed on the iOS device. For example, there is a beta 16 installed on the iPhone and at that time the final version of iOS 16 has been released for the whole world. In most cases, these two firmware versions (latest beta and final version) are identical, which is why Software Update displays the message Latest Software Installed.
4. Also, the inscription The latest software is installed may indicate that the current update is not yet available for your region. Try to check it later.
