Solution 1: Update iOS

You can try to fix the problem, just by updating the iOS. There are 3 ways to update the iOS of your device; you can do it via OTA or via iTunes app or you can use the services of a third-party software known as Tenorshare ReiBoot.

Solution 2: Find & Delete Faulty Apps

Although it is very rare still it is possible that an app might be the root of the problem. It is true that iOS is protected from any app problems, but it is also true that there are more than 1.5 Million apps in the App Store and there are few of them that are not perfect. So, if you have installed an app just before iPhone started causing problems, you should uninstall that app and see if the problem is fixed. Otherwise, you can do the following if iPhone 7 Plus keeps restarting;

Step 1: Open your iPhone and go to Settings.

Step 2: Then, head to "Privacy" and look into "Analytics Data" from "Analytics".

This is another place to search for buggy apps, you will find several entries there but that is completely normal. So, look through a few times and if any of the apps look suspicious then uninstall it immediately.

Step 2: Enter the "Reset" option and tap on "Reset All Settings".

After implementing this procedure, your iPhone's Settings will move to the Factory Default but no data or apps will get erased.

Solution 4: Restore from Previous Backup

You can also try to restore the device from a previous backup, in many cases it has solved problems with the iOS. It is not very complicated, if you have previously backed up the device using iTunes or iCloud app then you can use that backup file to restore the device and that may possibly fix the problem.

Step 1: Connect the device to the computer with USB cable the run the iTunes app on the computer.

Step 2: Wait for iTunes to detect the device.

Step 3: Then go to the iTunes window and click on "Restore Backup".
