So if you are having difficulty making a change to your iPhone, or you cannot find a feature that is supposed to be there, then it’s helpful to know how to check your iOS version. Once you know the version it can be a lot easier to determine if there is something wrong with your iPhone, or if you cannot do something because of the iOS version your device is currently using.
