update to 14

my iPhone Xr won't update to 14. It downloaded and has been stuck on preparing update for hours. I can't pair my new watch until it updates. I restarted the phone and re-downloaded but that didn't help.

IOS update I can’t update my iPhone to IOS 14.7.1 My phone is connected to the internet via WiFi connection but nothing is happening. It’s just loading like forever on the stage “timing“, and even restarting of the phone doesn’t help. I can’t connect my Apple Watch because of having the old IOS version, and it’s like a shut-in circle. Could you please help me to resolve this issue?
