Do a Force Restart to clean caches and do some house keeping after the update:

  • Press and quickly release Volume Up
  • Press and quickly release Volume Down
  • Press and HOLD the Side button until the Apple Logo appears. It could take up to 15 seconds before you see the Apple Logo and you will want to ignore anything you see on the screen while holding the side button until the Apple Logo pops up. If you do not see the Apple Logo, try it again.
