Hey,

When your iPhone is stuck on updating, feel free to try the following methods:

  1. Hard restart iPhone

  2. Check your internet connection

  3. Use iTunes to update your iPhone

  4. Or use a third-party repair tool, like Joyoshare UltFix.

I have the same issue when updating my iPhone 8.

It gets stuck til the battery runs out. I tried to recharge and turn it on but it gets stuck again.

Then I tried the TunesKit iOS System Recovery, somehow it solves the problem. I can reboot my phone again now and hopefully this helps.

Iphines generally take a few hours to update. If it has not made any progress, than you need to take your phone into the store.
