We can update only on simple view ,,if we want to update view on multiple tables (complex view) it wont work properly(it will give some wrong updates) so to avoid this we used "instead of triggers"

Yes, we can update view when view is created by single table (simple view). If we want to Update view that are based on multiple tables using Joins, Update does not work. So we used "Instead of Triggers" for updating Complex view.

We can update simple views(having data from one table) and complex views(having data from multiple tables) but columns should be taken from one base table for update.
