Can't change Chinese language (to English) in reset iPhone setup

So a friend gave me her iPhone 7. She removed her SIM, reset the pohone and I had the screen repaired.


But now I want to install the phone, but it's entirely in Chinese. I've been clicking on everything and anything, but no language options.


I've been trying to go through it by guessing the chinese, but It has't been successful, there are just too many buttons and questions.


Any tips?

Reset your iPhone to factory settings. This will allow you to set it up as a new iPhone and, in particular, choose the proper language. You will find how to do so in this article: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings - Apple Support.
