I've been having this peculiar problem for ages. Multiple iOS updates haven't helped. Basically every time i try to download something from AppStore, it just gets stuck (infinite loading/looping icon). I'll attach a picture below. The grey icon on the right is what im referencing.
The only way i can download something is if i restart my iPhone. After that i can download one thing and then the infinite loading comes back. Basically after every download i have to restart my phone.
iPhone 12 and right now on iOS 16. (it happened on previous iOS versions aswell, so doesn't seem to be a version problem).
Any help is appreciated.

Exit out all your apps including from background so nothing is running Run down your battery and after it shuts down plug it in again
If you have an update pending you can do the above too since it’s a complete reboot
