To do so, connect your device with a WiFi network, go to the device settings, then general, and finally software update, and then follow instructions. If the device shows update, click on download and install to upgrade to iOS 12.

Step 3: iTunes: Connect your device with iTunes and go to the software upgrade section to search for available updates. If the iOS 12 update shows up, click on download and install to upgrade.
