Another way to see your iOS version is to start the Settings app, then tap "General" and "About."

The "About" page shows a variety of details about your device in addition to the iOS version.Dave Johnson/Business Insider

The "About" page lists all kinds of information about your device, including the software version, serial number, and details about how much storage space is free. You can't see if there's a software update available from this screen, though, which is why this page may not be as handy as the "Software Update" page.
