If your installation does work or gets stuck, you will need to perform a hard reset. On older iPhone models, you will need to hold the home button on your phone and the power button down at the same time and wait until your device reboots.

If you own an iPhone 7, hold the volume down and the power button at the same time until your phone resets. If you own an iPhone 8, press the volume up and release it, press the volume down and release it and then hold the power button for 5 to 10 seconds until it resets.

As for the battery, if your iPhone's battery starts acting up after the system upgrade, there are a few things that you can try. If you are experiencing battery drain after you've installed the iOS 14.3, you can check on the list of fixes on Gottabemobile.com.

If nothing in the guide works, then there is a chance that you have got a bad battery and you will need to change it. If you think that that is the case, you will need to call Apple Center about the replacement.

If you are not able to connect to one or more of your Bluetooth devices, then you will want to forget the Bluetooth connection on your device first. Tap on "Bluetooth" and selection the connection using the circle with an "i" in the middle. Click on the "Forget this Device" option and try reconnecting it. If that does not work, try resetting your phone's "Network Settings."

To reset the "Network Settings", click on General, then click on Reset and go to Reset Network Settings. This whole process will take a couple of seconds to complete and it will cause your phone to forget the known WIFI network that you have stored so make sure that you know the password.

If one or more of the apps on your phone won't work or becomes glitchy after moving to iOS 14.3, you can restart your phone. If that does not improve the performance of your apps, you will need to check the App Store to get them updated.

You can also do it the old way by deleting the app and downloading it again to refresh everything. If the app requires a username and password, then it will ask for it again so make sure you have it handy.

If you still can't fix the issue, contact the developer of the app to check if it knows about the issue. You can also check on the forums online, such as the Apple Support Community.
