iPhone 7 stuck on rebooting?

Nothing was working on my iPhone so I updated it and now all of a sudden my iPhone is stuck on a loop of rebooting with a loading bar that reaches the end or somewhere near it over and over and over again before restarting. Can anyone offer some insight? Thanks.

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support ⬇︎⬇︎TRY THIS AND RECOVERY MODE ALSO if force restart does not work...


Press and hold both the volume down button and the Sleep/Wake button.

When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.

Note: If iPhone still doesn’t turn on, or if it gets stuck during start up, see the Apple Support article If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch won’t turn on or is frozen.


If that does not work try to put your phone in Recovery Mode...⬇︎⬇︎ full instructions in the link above...⬆︎⬆︎


Short instructions...⬇︎⬇︎


Connect your device to a computer. On a Mac with macOS Catalina 10.15, open Finder. On a Mac with macOS Mojave 10.14 or earlier, or on a PC, open iTunes.


Press and hold the Top (or Side) and Volume Down buttons at the same time. Keep holding them until you see the recovery mode screen.
