I have the same problem. But it seems to be connected to Apple's weird two-factor authentication system, like explained in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/251178396


I moved my work phone from my private Apple ID to a new one. And whenever I try to sign-in or try to update my iCloud settings, it will get stuck. The Sign-in can be solved by just closing the Settings app after which I am just signed-in. The settings update though will not work.


Since I don't have another Apple device on my new Apple ID - just that one phone - I cannot confirm that sign-in attempt.


Since the other thread has no update posted since March, I assume that Apple just does not care.


My next phone will not be an Apple device.
