Apps not downloading after switching to a new phone. Says waiting..

I just switched to the IPhone 12 from an older phone. Most of my apps have not downloaded onto the new phone after restoring from the backup. They all say "waiting". I am connected to my home wi-fi. I was able to download a new app, but my old apps (Kindle, McDonald's, etc) will not download

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.


Restart your iPhone - Apple Support and try again. Make sure all third-party VPNs are also off.


If the issue persists, see: If you can’t download or update apps on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support.
