Your husband need to see this Apple article: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support


Then he has to remove the iPhone from his account, see this Apple article:

Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in

Check your Apple ID device list to see where you're signed in - Apple Support


Then your daughter can sign in with her own Apple ID.


Then you cna try again to add her gmail account.

my iPhone 6s cannot upgrade to 14.0 iOS due to being an old phone

Check iPhone type & iOS version -> Go to: Settings -> General -> About.

If it is an iPhone 6 -> iOS 12.5.5 is the last security updates for iPhone 6, -> released 23 september 2021.

 

If it is an iPhone 6S you can update the iPhone to iOS 15.6, see this Apple article:

iPhone models compatible with iOS 15.6

iPhone models compatible with iOS 15.4 – Apple Support (UK)
