I cannot update my phone. The update is not downloading it is just writing “calculating estimated time”

Hi mitesh33,

First, if the software was downloaded try deleting it from your iPhone. To do that, go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > (Find the update, click on it and delete it.)

If deleting the update didn't solve your problem, try updating your phone like the guide says:

Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iTunes - Apple Support

If deleting the update what clanischcoffee mentioned Is not working, try to update the iPhone via a pc or mac
