Cannot install new apps from appstore after 14.5.1 update

Why am i unable to install any new app which i have not purchased before? If i click the get button my phone starts malfunctioning and it doesn’t even allow me to close the appstore after which i have to lock the phone and then unlock and then the phone starts working properly again. This problem has arisen since i have updated my phone to 14.5.1

iPhone 11, iOS 14
