Start a download on App Store, pause or stop it immediately when it begins and then start it again. This can jumpstart things for you. Not many people know this trick but you can clear cache in iPhones too.

Open App Store and tap 10 times on any one of the five buttons at the bottom of the screen. The key here is that you have to tap the same button 10 times. It will clear old App Store cache data, giving you a fresh start.

Check if your Wi-Fi is working correctly. Try connecting to a different Wi-Fi network or use mobile data to verify. Pop the Control Center to make sure that mobile data and Wi-Fi options are enabled and Airplane mode is disabled. Disable VPN or proxy if you are using one on your iPhone.
