iPhone freezing after iOS 26 update

Ever since the update to iOS 26, my iPhone freezes all of a sudden to the extent that l can’t even enter my Face ID or pass code. Tried force restarting and yes it does work, however not all the time. What should l do??.

Try resetting all settings. If it continues to freeze up try backing up your device to your iCloud account, erasing the device and then restoring the device.
