Stuck on lock screen while verifying update

I was able to download the latest iOS software (14.) then after selecting verify update, it got stuck. The bad news is, my phone got lock and I was not able to unlock because of this pop-up verifying update blocking the screen. Turning off my phone doesn't help either as this pop-up blocks the screen. Even using USB cable won't help as it needs to open my phone which I can't do now.

iPhone 11, iOS 14

Hi ramilae,


Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities. 


It sounds like your iPhone is stuck on a verifying update screen and we also see that you've already checked out the Apple Support article If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.


We have a YouTube video and another Apple Support article below that can help.
