Thats frustrating. My first thought was that you didn’t give it enough time between the update an restart. Did it start up once before you restarted? I’m not a big Apple Accessibility fan, but from a tech end, my first thought with solving that type of problem is plugging the phone into a computer and letting iTunes reinstall the software, something that cannot be done over the phone or with the phone by itself.
