setup a iphone 12 mini and apps will not update

I bot a new iPhone 12 mini, went through the transfer of data from the old phone to the new one. All went good, except a number of the apps reflect a status of updating but they seem stuck in limbo. I have shut down the phone but that did not remedy the issue. The new pone updated to the latest iOS 14.4.1


any ideas?

I came across this myself.. and I've suggested this to a few people, but so far hasn't really seem to help others..


I went to Settings > App Store and turned off both of the switches under Automatic Downloads. I may have restarted the phone after that. Seemed to jump start things for me (twice it worked for me actually because I did a test restore on my previous phone)

Once they started downloading I turned those switches back on.
