My iPhone 8 been updated according to the update message but screen is frozen

Just updated iPhone 8 to 16.2 but screen is frozen with message that update has been done.

have tried the solution of volume up button vol down and pressing and holding power button. No luck..just get a message to slide a power button on the screen to off…..which does not work so still stuck frozen.

You need to keep holding the side/power button even if the slide to power off screen appears. Do the force restart steps again and DO NOT let go of the side/power button until the Apple logo appears.
