MORE INFORMATION: This seems to be now called the "Oceania December 2 2017 Bug" bug (or something in the line) and 11.2 solves it as most of the people report, but it seems that only if you update after 00:15 CET on December 2, 2017. I'm not sure how it goes, but maybe the installer has been patched and now contains a fix for this, I don't know...
If you already had 11.2 prior to 0:15 CET on December 2, which some people seem to have, you just need to restore your iPhone through iTunes, which will fetch the latest updater.

Also, if you can't get to the update because of the constant respring, change the date manually to December 1 or a prior date and manually turn off Notifications for every single App... then do the update and only after that, re-enable notifications one-by-one... I don't know how important this step is, but it's in the release instructions.

Thanks to lucas1501 for pointing out a temporary fix. I was really desperate before stumbling on your post.

got in touch with staff on the customer support chats and was told to take off notifications on my apps until the issue stopped, and then they could help update my phone so the issue doesn’t happen anymore (however my phone then proceeded to do it again and therefore I was kicked out of the chat) but I would definitely recommend getting in touch with them directly if you’re having issues with it, or just turn off your notifications until it stops and deal with it)

Hi


i am using iphone7 and this happens to me every 30 seconds or so. locking the phone, changing auto-lock setting, setting the location setting, changing the clock, reset all settings, restarting the phone, re-installing all apps does not help. The problem still exists and is very infuriating as it exits the application i was working on. kindly provide a fix for this issue or atlas provide a date when it will be fixed.
