iphone 8 problems after ios 15 update

Since I updated software to 15.1 last week my iPhone 8 has become virtually unusable. Many apps/features don't work including Facebook, maps, safari, Twitter, various other apps, and I can't load the App Store. What can I do?! I've tried turning device off/on several times, data off/on, closed apps and restarted, but problem remains. Please help!

First try a Forced restart

If no better

Backup and restore (using the computer method preferably)
