Stuck on 'update requested' for the whole day

Hi, I searched and saw there were hundreds of posts about my issue but didn't see a solution. Essentially my iPhone 7 needed to be updated so I tapped the button to update it and now it's been stuck on 'update requested' for 12 hours. I have super fast wifi here as well.

Is there a way to at least shut off the stuck update? Thanks for any help.

It could. A simple reset may also get it going again. I hesitate doing updates over the air because the lest little interruption in the wi-fi can set it off. Is the employer managing the device with an MDM? If so, they should do the update if they won't allow you to connect to iTunes.
