Apple has now made their iOS 10 available for public use. With the initial launch of any iOS, there are always a few problems that are to be expected. We have experienced this when iOS 9.3 was released. This is particularly the case when you are using an older idevice. In this article, we will provide you with resources to deal with the top 10 problems with iOS 10.
As of this morning, many users are reporting problems with the iOS 10. This is particularly the case for iPads. Please try to use iTunes to update your iPad instead of the OTA and remember to backup your device before you install iOS 10. Some users reported that the update is putting the phone into recovery mode, forcing them to go back to wipe the memory, re-install 9.3.5 and then try upgrading again.

Game Center
Several readers wanted to learn how to use the Game center features with the new iOS 10. Here is an article that we posted that shows some of the features of the new Game Center and how you can integrate it in iMessage on your iPad.

Predictive Text and Emojis Not Working
If you are having issues related to predictive text and emojis etc on your iPhone after installing iOS 10, Please read below for suggested steps to fix these issues. Most of these issues are easily fixed.
Common Suggestions to iOS 10 Problems
One of the most common denominators with troubleshooting majority of iPhone and iPad problems following an iOS update is trying to use the hard reset. Simple press the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button together for about 20 seconds or so till you see the Apple Logo show up on your device screen. Release the buttons and let the device start on its own. Try the functionality out after the device has restarted.
With functions that affect iCloud or iTunes or App store features, try logging out of your iCloud / iTunes account and logging back in. This simple sign out and signing in back can often help with common problems.
Please note that some of the new iOS 10 features such as the “Faces” feature, loosely based on some artificial intelligence can consume massive amounts of drive space. Once you update to iOS 10, you may want to monitor your icloud drive space and upgrade to a higher quota. This is particularly important if you plan on using macOS Sierra and iOS integration features such as sharing the MacOS home screen with your iPhone and iPad. Upgrading your icloud drive will solve a lot of problems down the road.
Certain features in iOS 10 are also device specific. When you check the iOS 10 device compatibility, your device may be eligible for an update but that does not mean that all iOS 10 features will work on it. “Raise to wake” feature will be exclusive to the iPhone 7/7+, iPhone 6S, iPhone 6S+, and the iPhone SE.
We hope that you found the coverage on the issues helpful. If you did rather downgrade to iOS 9.3.5 and wait for a newer update of iOS 10, please read here how to downgrade to iOS 9 from iOS 10.
Please let us know below if you have any additional tips to share with the readers. We would also like to hear your comments on how your experience has been with iOS 10. In general, we expect the new iOS 10 to be more robust than the prior iOS releases but we look forward to your comments.
this new update has made it extremely difficult to follow email chains between 3 people. I’m in the middle of a legal issues and have to relearn a whole new format of how emails are laid out.
Not cool Apple
ED, Thanks. We are trying to see if there are other alternatives. It does take time to get used to to all the new things with this iOS
I am having issues with notes. It opens and than crashes. How do we fix that?
Chris, Try the reset and see if it helps. Otherwise, delete the app and re-install it. That might do the trick.
Hey Chris, Back up your device to iCloud. Tap on Settings > iCloud > Notes ; Toggle this to OFF , Confirm when you see the message that this will delete all the notes on your iPhone, then wait a few seconds and turn the Notes in iCloud back to ON. Your device may take a little while to re-download all the notes from iCloud and it should fix your issue. This usually happens when one of the notes on the device has been corrupted.

After upgraded my iPhone 6 to IOS 10, it kept ask me to enter password when I opened my Live email account. After I entered password, it said the account can’t be accessed because my parents have set some kinds of restriction which I didn’t set. Then I deleted the account and added a new account but the same message came up and said the account can’t be verified. I can only add the account choosing “other” instead of “outlook”. However, only two choices, mail & note, for me to pick. There are no calendar and others and I can’t sync the emails for a certain period.
With the new upgrade, i am unable to send the Esign document after i sign it using the toolbox offer in the email for PDF, Does anyone know why?
After upgrading to iOS 10 on my iPhone 6 Plus, the e-mail icons (such as Exchange, Gmail etc.) have gone. It only shows the inboxes on the top and then the greyish color with Exchange, Gmail written in plain format. However, if you try adding a new mailbox it shows the Exchange, Gmail icons. Is there a way to fix this? Many thanks in anticipation.
After updated to IOS 10, I lost all my important mails that i flagged. I found this problem when this morning i was trying to look for my flight e-ticket that i flagged, but i couldn’t find it. This fears me when I pressed into my flagged files, but I see nothing. other than the tickets, other important mails such as my education information and more mails that i flagged before gone too. This give me a lot of inconvenient. I have to open my laptop everytime when I want to check for my important mails. Will this problem be fixed?
Im just wondering why all features isn’t working with iphone 6. Especially 3D features in iphone 6 after installing IOS 10
Im having problems with facetime with Ios 10 it doesn’t let me call certain people
When I updated ios10 my Facebook some of my games lost,install again it says I’ve already installed but in my screen kp on waiting….
Even with your given steps to get this “No service” problem solved,it’s still the problem after ios 10 upgrade…
Please help.
I did everything like resetting the network setting,reinserting sim card,checking if cellular data is on. And it still shows “No Service”
I downloaded iOS 10 and everywhere I go I have ‘no service’! Why is this?
3D Touch, which has worked fine on my 6S Plus for a year, all of a sudden no longer works with iOS 10. I’ve tried the hard reboot, adjusting sensitivity, and even resetting settings to start fresh. (Yes, 3D Touch is turned on.) This has been a brutal OS update.
On locked phone some time I am not able to pickup any call & I have to restart my Iphone.every thing is working fine after restart iPhone . so kindly give solution .is there any touch screen issue or iOS 10 issue.
Pratik, The only issue that we know of on this is for T-Mobile subscribers. Have you tried to Reset your device? If not try a simple reset by pressing the home and the sleep/wake button together for about 10 seconds or so till you see the Apple logo appear.
iPad has become blocked since trying to start download of iOS10. Won’t load, can’t turn it off. Just says verifying update for the past 6 hours!!!
I have the 6s and cannot forward text messages, i double tap the message and the more/copy does not appear
Kathy, In order to forward the text message, tao and hold on the message. On the bottom you will see Copy and More… show up as options. Tap on More…and you will find the forward option at the bottom on the right hand corner shown as an arrow. Hope that helps. If not, we will post some screen shots.
I wanted to sign out iCloud but it says delete from my iPhone instead zzzzzz
Something wrong with it after I update iOS 10 on iPhone 6 Plus . My airdrop as well , there’s no opt for me to press as it stuck at : airdrop : receiving ..
How can I remove multiple emails??? Like 132 of them. In iOS 9 I had a remove all capacity
I Hope I can find this reply in all the other emails that are accumulating
Bill, Tap on Edit at the right hand top corner. This will let you choose the emails that you want to remove.Once you select them, you can tap on “Move” and put them into your junk folder. Instead of choosing one email at a time, you can also tap on Filter icon on the bottom left corner > next tap on Filtered By > and choose the filters. Tap on Done. This will filter the emails based on your criteria and then you mark all and delete. Try it out. Thanks for pointing it out and we will feature a post to take better control of the new iOS Mail. The guidance from Apple is as follows:
– Delete multiple messages at once. While viewing a list of messages, tap Edit, select some messages, then tap Trash. If you change your mind, shake iPhone immediately to undo.
Stash your trash – You can set how long deleted messages stay in the Trash mailbox. Go to Settings > Mail > Accounts > [account name] > Advanced > Remove. Some email services might override your selection; for example, iCloud doesn’t keep deleted messages longer than 30 days, even if you select Never.”
my password is not working. all important things are inside it, i am ruined if it doesn’t open.
Chirag,
Please try this Apple link to learn how to recover your password for your Apple Id. I’m assuming this is the password that you are trying to recover. If it is your device’s passcode, then it is a different process. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201487
Mail is a total mess! If I search, cannot get out of search to inbox, etc. Only one mail folder can be seen in another email account and I need to check the junk folder.
This sucks!
Where did my icloud mail account go? When I click on the envelope at the bottom of my screen (6S plus) instead of my mail coming up, it comes up for me to set it up. When I refill in user name and password , it tells me it’s already set up. But where is it? How do I get to my inbox? My yahoo and mail.com accts were not affected. Just the icloud acct.
The first time I’ve updated in quite awhile and now I know the reason I always hesitate to. I lost my work email acct. It shows in the mail app but when i touch the folder there is nothing but my yahoo emails. How do I resolve this? Thanks
FaceTime is not connecting after the update to iOS 10
Hi since I did the upgrade to iOs 10 I cannot get my phone to link up to my itunes or my laptop?
Hi,
when i update my iPhone 6 Plus to IOS 10 i have two problem.
At first, I couldn’t update & download any programs with my app store…
Second, before that when i don’t want to send imessage , i hold on message & see send as text message then i could send message but there isn’t this option in IOS 10
Pls. assist me for solving this issues.
Thank you.
My device passcode is locked. While my iphone 6 has always had a 4 digit passcode, now I suddenly have a six digit code? I was unaware that it had changed? I’ve tried several that I thought may work to no avail? Help!
Vicki, Sorry to hear this. this must be really annoying. We have not seen this issue so far with the iOS 10 upgrade. I hate to say this but you may have to restore your phone to recover the device passcode and then change your settings for the passcode to the way you like. Apple provides some guidance around this. https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204306. Anybody else face this issue with iOS 10 update and can chime in?
This is complete crap. I tried to reply to a comment above to say I had the same issue, but it keeps shifting me to another part of the page. My FB app won’t completely install, nor will it delete. Yes, I’ve restarted, YES, I’ve tried to delete and re-install. Don’t give me the standard answer. I was hesitant to install the new update and now I understand why I usually wait a week or so………Apple has seriously gone downhill. If I didn’t own a Mac, I wouldn’t bother with a new iPhone.
Staci, Sorry to hear that you are having issues. Have you checked your Restrictions? Tap on Settings > General > Restrictions. Check to make sure that you have the restrictions to delete app set properly. The other thing that you can try if you have a 3D Touch enabled iPhone is to disable your 3D Touch and give it a try. Sometimes the pressure sensitivities around 3D Touch can cause issues while trying to delete an app. To access 3D Touch settings, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > scroll down to 3D Touch.
Good luck.
I have no issues deleting other apps. This is strictly a FB app issue.
Also, none of these things are enabled on my phone. Therefore, I should have no issue.
Yikes, Back to drawing board on troubleshooting this one, Staci. I did try to delete the Facebook app on the iPad and iPhone and it works here on both the devices running iOS 10.
My FB app is translucent and won’t delete, nor update. I even connected to my computer thinking I could outsmart it by removing the app through iTunes. Nope.
The Ios 10 update slowly deleted my phones game data even the stuff i bought with real money and now its all gone how do i fix it to get it back I never backedup please help
I’m not a Jihadi praise be to America and death to Isis.
A few days after the update my ear speaker stop working only the speakerphone would work when placing a call or answering a call, very annoying as soon as I was able to analyze this I went home to restore it to the last back up. Strangely every time I tried (twice) to restore it back two months, the phone turned back on and said press home button for update so it forces you to go to 10.1 you cannot go back to before 10. This is OK because that’s why I have an Apple iPhone iPad Mac etc. why would you ever want to go back? Muscle through it, stay calm and trust Apple to fix their updates RIP SJ
After downloading iOS 10 my IPhone 5s camera stopped working. Also any app that uses the camera says that it is unable to access the camera.
Since updating to IOS 10 I can’t attach videos and pictures to emails. I used to press and hold and ‘more…’ would come up to allow me to choose ‘add video’ now there’s nothing! Also my predictive text option has disappears from my keyboard options…
After updating to IOS 10 my iphone 6 plus will not sync my calendar via itunes. It just hangs and wont do anything. This is soo frustrating. Please fix urgently
AirPlay fails when I connect to Apple TV with sound only no mirroring. With iOS 10, the option to enable/disable mirroring is gone.
I only want sound to feed to Apple TV but can’t.
Now I’m forced to always mirror
Calendars not updating on widget . Please help. Already tried resetting phone .
Alex, Did you check your notification settings. Tap on Settings > notifications > Calendars > upcoming events > make sure “show on lock screen” is set to ON. The calendar widget is working fine here both on iPhone and iPad. Cannot make it show more than one event for some reason. if anybody has a tip that they can share, it will be pretty swell.
So I have an iPhone 5s with iOS 10. Just today, my iMessage started crashing. Just about as soon as I click on iMessage, it exits out and goes back to the homescreen. I held down my home button and sleep wake button to reset it a few times. That didn’t do anything. I took my SIM card out. Nothing. I went to my settings and reset all settings, nothing. Also someone said they changed the text size to fix it, and other people said it worked but it will not work. I just need iMessage to stay open. Help!!! 🙁
The memories feature in the photo app has been stuck at the same location for scanning for days and days. I’ve made sure to plug in the iPhone 6s and had it locked. Any suggestion on how to restart this process? I “only” have 16k of photos. The faces feature is also moving slowly, but at least it’s proceeding (48 hours = 5k of 16k scanned). Thanks!
Hi,
I have seen problem while opening the camera it get hanged for some period.
Most of the time we have to close camera application and it get resolved.
Please help with some solutions.
@Staci – Possibly FB was updating and didn’t complete properly. I haven’t had that with iOS10, but I did experience it in iOS9 with another app. I rebooted (holding down the Home button and the power switch to force it through the full restart with the Apple logo), then immediately opened the App Store and was able to remove the app then reinstall it. (When I’d earlier touched the app after a reboot before going into App Store, I wasn’t able to remove/reinstall) Hope you have better luck than you have had so far. (You can always switch to Google+, that’s almost the same as FB, right?)
Thank you ET!
I can’t delete user installed apps. The icon jiggles and the little gray X shows up but nothing happens when I press. Rebooted and same problem. It is the same for all icons.
I have discovered that, sometimes, if I make a phone call, when I am finished, instead of seeing the black phone screen, I am facing the lock screen with no way to end the phone call. This has happened at least five times. Is there a work-around for this?
Hi JP, Haven’t seen this one yet or received any feedback on it. Just curious, have you tried the usual Resets? Hard Reset by pressing the Home and Wake/Sleep button together till the Apple logo shows up. If that doesn’t work, backup your iPhone into icloud and then try the Settings > General > Reset > Reset All. ( Please be mindful that Reset All Settings will reset the iPhone like new. Apps will still be there but the settings will be gone and you will need to set up your wi-fi etc again). P.S- WE Have not tested it. Usually for most persistent problems the Reset All Settings can do the trick before one decides to Restore the device.
My security setting also came up as 6 digits. You can go into your security settings and choose 4 digits
Since 10 Safari has been freezing multiple times a day and websites that used to work fine on my iPad mini now are useless …can’t click hyperlinks etc.
Having a sync issue with my Notes and my other devices. They will no longer sync after the update.
If i sign out of any one device, it threatens to erase all my notes and info. I don’t want that.

I have the same problem as Judy (Sep 18th). I had to remove and reinstall Mail to resolve via use of Settings for Mail.
For me, Search is unusable until fixed.

What a terrible product. I was forced to upgrade for work apps and instantly started having connectivity issues. How can Apple put this product out? Worst operating system by far from Apple.
I have the same issue as Staci
Its just Mine is with Facebook and Facebook messenger. Can anyone help. Have tried everything. Restarted loads of times and nothing is happening just says waiting…
Sonal, We are having no luck with this one. We are unable to replicate this error. We have tried it on iPad , iPad Pro and a set of iPhones and are able to delete both the Facebook app as well as the messenger. We will keep on trying and keep the readers updated if we are able to find a way out of this annoying issue. Thank you for taking the time.
I hate how I have to open my iPhone now. How can I bypass the wigits and just go straight to the prompting of my passcode?
Tiff, You can get rid of the widgets from the lock screen. That will prompt you to enter your passcode when you press the Home screen. Tap on Settings > Touch Id & Passcode > Enter your passcode > Scroll down to the section that says “Allow Access when Locked” . Disable Today View and notifications view here. Please try it and keep us posted. Good luck!
I have 3 apps that won’t completely finish updating. Yelp, GMail, Capitol One. The app icon is dark and when I try and click on the finish icon for the update, nothing happens. I can’t even load a new one because it’s frozen.
I have a 6S Plus and a 6S. Both were syncd up to my bluetooth oin the car. No on the 6S, I have to re set the bluetooth every day, it won’t save it like before. Both of my issues, the app one and this bluetooth are since the 10 update.
Do you know how to silent click on the calculator?
I already make sure that on Sounds>Keyboard Clicks> it’s turned of, but on Calculator it continues to “sound click”.

I don’t have the problem with my iphone running ios10

Rhonda, Have you tried to Reset your device? (Tap on Settings > General > Reset). If that doesn’t help, some tips from our earlier article may be of assistance.http://appletoolbox.com/2015/10/ios-9-touchscreen-not-working-unresponsive-issues-fix/ . If you still have the warranty / Apple Care on the device, you may want to take it to the Apple Store and check it out. Good Luck.

I have and iPhone 6 Plus and a iPad Pro. After updating to iOS 10 on both, I can send from my iPad to my phone via airdrop no problem, but when I try and airdrop from my iPhone 6 Plus to my iPad Pro I hear the alert tone on the iPad notifying me of an airdrop, but the photo, note, etc. is never received on the iPad. Both devices are set for everyone in airdrop settings. Only the tone plays on the iPad, the airdrop notification box never appears on the screen.
Whenever I go to my camera. It totally freezes and does not work ever since I updated it.
All my email accounts are an issue, it gives me the subject, but there is no content of the message, and I have also lost all my previous messages content, I can see this has been listed a number of times, but no response as to what is being done?
With this new iOS 10 I have to restart my phone at least 10 times a day now. The T-Mobile issue is making it extremely difficult to use my phone through out the day, not to mention Apple Music sucks.
IPhone 6 Plus keeps restarting
I can’t really relate this to a specific APP or task, but the phone suddenly restarts which is very annoying – anyone else with this problem ?
Thanks, Markus
Hi i just update my iphone to ios 10 after this update my facetime is not connecting when i try to call someone. The ringing tone does not appear. I need to restart my iphone once this happen. Please help me solve this!
After installing IOS 10, I can no longer access yahoo mail. An error message appears “too many redirects”.
Everyday I send an email, which is already formatted in my “Notes” app. I normally copy and paste. However, since updating to IOS 10, after pasting in “Mail” the font size has doubled and I just can’t seem to rectify that. The font is just too big. Going into General and Accessibility does not help.
Iphone 6 Updated to IOS 10 Now my contact names are not showing on text messages. Only phone numbers. How can I fix this?
Cindy, First, You ca do a hard reset ( press the home and sleep/wake button together for 15 seconds or so till you see the Apple Logo show up) and see if that helps. If it does not help just with the reset,
Tap on Settings > Contacts > Accounts > iCloud > Scroll down here and if your Contacts is ON. Toggle it to OFF. select “Keep on My iPhone” It will then turn off contacts. Now, turn contacts back on, select “Merge” It will then turn contacts back on and you should now have all your contact names restored on your iPhone 6. This takes a little time but the contact names should show up. Hope this helps. Good Luck!
Noticed a strange issue with iOS 10 last night.
I upgraded my work provided iPhone 6s to iOS 10 on the day it released with no issues (Tuesday, Sept. 13). After the upgrade, I restarted the phone before using it – I’ve noticed that this seems to help immensely with any initial flakiness updates have.
Everything appeared to be working fine. I’ve taken a handful of pictures since updating, played games, used the alarm in the morning, used Facebook, Gmail, Chrome, Good for Enterprise, etc.
This week on Tuesday (Sept. 20), a co-worker was having issues with their camera on their iPhone and asked me to Facetime them to test something. I’ve never really used Facetime before. But I understand how to do it, so I pulled her up in my contacts, clicked Facetime, and it came up fine, it proved that her camera was indeed not working, mine was fine and I disconnected the Facetime chat/call/whatever it is.
Now we get to last night. I went to use my phone to take a picture of something. Pulled up the camera app. All I get is a black image. I tried switching to other 3rd party camera apps – they pull can seem to use the camera just fine, but the image taken won’t save to the phone. I switch back to the Apple Camera app – still just black. I try switching between the front and back cameras, it’s black either way. I switch between the video to slo-mo to square, etc. All just black. I pull up the effects – it shows the what I’m trying to take a picture of with the various effects but I can’t click on any of the effects to choose them. I can only click out of effects and go back to the just black camera viewer.
I was able to “fix it” by turning the iPhone off and back on, but I’m not sure I’d call that a fix. I guess I should be glad I never use Facetime generally so I’ll probably never run into this problem again?
after updating to ios 10 the camera works in opposite direction and auto rotaion is not working
I’m not getting any Notification Sounds with Webmail. In or out. Has anyone had this?
I upgraded to IOS 10.0.1 and it asked me to uninstall Infinity Blade 3 temporarily and it would reinstall it after. Now the app is stuck on my screen and won’t install or uninstall. I’ve tried re-installing via app store, deleting it, updating it, nothing works to remove it.
After updating, I stopped receiving any kind of notification while I’m talking on the phone. I receive them regularly when I’m not on the phone.
since the update my alarm clock will not work. I’ve reset the phone, deleted all alarms, set up bedtime..still no luck.
Laura, That’s got to be annoying. Several people are reporting this. You are not alone. We tested it with an iPhone 5C and no issues. No issues noted on iPad or iPhone 7 either. May I suggest one last fix since you have already tried the reset. Delete all alarms. Next, Tap on Settings > General > Date & Time. Toggle OFF the “Set Automatically”. Switch your iphone off and then after turning it on, Toggle the Set Automatically to ON . Set up a New alarm and give it a try. If this does not work for you, probably the only option is to restore and set up your iPhone as New. Good luck! We will update the post if we find any breakthroughs.
HI There,
Issue with IOS 10.0.1 Update & emals.
I notice my email on exchange account only has facility to sync for 1day – 1 month, and i used have “no limit”
is there any way of fixing this to allow inbox no imit on my iphone.
my hotmail email is fine
please help, i need emails for work 🙂
andy
Mail has stopped offering me the arrows to move to the next email, on my iPad. It still works on my iPhone.
Iphone after update, it will not update the Exchange calendar, any suggestions?
I updated to 10.0.1 yesterday and now my front camera will not work. The image appears very briefly, but then the screen goes black. Now what can I do?
I have recently upgraded to IOS10 and found that i cannot attach a document to whatsup anymore. Could before. Has anyone else reported this error?
I have a Iphone 6 s and with this new IOS 10 I cannot facetime how frustrating
Is it me, or has that convenient function disappeared, of selecting any word to look it up in available offline dictionaries. It seems iOS 10 has eliminated it?? I find no other function in that sequence that does the same.
It no longer works for me in various books or online articles I’ve tried it with. I have several dictionaries for different languages on my iPhone 6+ and iPad mini 4. Before iOS 10,, selecting a word, then selecting “Define” would go directly to that word and its definitions in a dictionary, according to the language. Is there a setting to restore that handy function?
Thanks for any help you can send on this.
Once in WhatsApp and in a chat, tap on the circled arrow lower left. There you find, among other things, the option to share a document.
I have lost all content in my emails. Please help!
Where is auto-lock to increase time? It used to be under settings-general
CB, Settings > General > Display and brightness > Auto-Lock. When in doubt, you can just tap on Settings and search for a particular setting as well. Good luck!
I don’t have cable so I have been using airplay to stream network tv shows with my iPad. With iOS 10 there is no longer the ability to airplay without mirroring. I have discovered that it will work if I click the fullscreen button on my iPad; however, every time a commercial comes along it goes out of airplay. Then I have to get airplay going again after the commercial – and sometimes can’t. (It has become a royal pain to watch a tv show) My wife’s iPad hasn’t been updated and it still works great; so it isn’t something the network has done.
On the iPad, I no longer have the arrows allowing me to move through email messages without returning to the inbox. My iPhone still has the arrow option. Can this feature be restored to the iPad?
The World Clock is now all black background, military time only with no clocks with second hands like it used to have in previous version – and more and more garbage added to texting with is assumptive “intuitive” crap – crApple…
I have an iPhone 5s and about 2 days after I got the iOS 10 update my camera stopped working. Any app that uses the camera just says that it is unable to connect and tells me to turn my camera restrictions on. Do I need to take it somewhere to get fixed?
When I go to my email, I can read the subject and the first two lines, but when I tap the email to open it, I get a blank screen. Please help
Hello why all this problems.after I upgraded my iPhone 5s to iOS 10 I can’t access my front camera again.i try switching off my phone and turn it on back but the same problem persist.pls how can I solve this issue
I’ve been uploading for the past 3 hours and the download hasn’t moved. How can I stop the upload?
My Apple Wallet app has disappeared after my ios10 upgrade on my ipad, this ipad is only a month old and has the finger print activated on it.

Hi,
I have just updated my iphone 5s to ios 10.now, i could not work with my apps because most of them wont working and when i enter them just “waiting” appeared below the icon.pls, help me how to fix this problem.
Since upgrading to IOS 10. When I am on the home screen and swipe down and search for a contact. The contact is found. I select it, but the issue I see is there is no way to edit/or delete the contact after searching for it in this manner. Would have to go to the contacts or phone icon to edit or delete a contact. Seems there should be an option for edit/delete when searching from the home screen. Is this a bug or by design ? Thanks.
Hi. First off- I love this update! My only question is why won’t my photo memories slideshow upload to Facebook? It says it’s uploading and says my video will post but it never does. I’ve checked every setting I can think of. Do you have any suggestions?
my iphone 6s sometimes freezes when i try to call someone from my missed calls. it just highlights and then just sits there. i can exit out to the home page and hit the phone button and go back to the phone but it just sits there and then suddenly it flashes back to the phone and then pushes me out to the home page..
it doesn’t do it all the time but it is happening more frequently. it also bricks when i try to use apps from the home screen as well..
Mike, we have seen this issue reported from several users. We have tried a few things but not been able to fix it so far. We will keep the readers posted if we find a solution or workaround for this annoying problem.
Hello,
Since upgrading to ios 10 my iphone 6s Airplay feature cannot see our Airport Express system that is connected to our home surround sound, which is the main way of playing music in our house. It can find the Apple TV in another room with no problem. The Airport Express is running SW version 7.3.7. Airplay via the Airport Express still works fine for other family members. Help?
Ever since the upgrade my notes that have dates in the note are no longer highlighted as they were before. Even tracking numbers no longer work when i click on them.
Wondering if others are having an issue within notes, prior to upgrade dates in the future ex. 11/11/2016 would be highlighted now they are not. Also package tracking numbers were highlighted and when you click on it, you would be prompted to track package now it’s not highlighted and does nothing when clicking on tracking number.
In email, after using the search function, I’m unable to mark emails for deletion! So I search for “John” and tap edit so I can select the emails to be trashed, but…. nothing happens. I hit edit, tap the email I want to trash and it won’t select. I’ve restarted the phone an the email app in a number of different combinations, and it still doesn’t work.
HAAAAALP! Please?
After updating to iOS 10.0.2, I no longer have the torch function on my phone. Previously on lock screen or even unlocked, I could swipe up from the bottom of the screen and see the torch icon, clock, camera, calculator. I could access the bluetooth, do not disturb, screen rotation, brightness etc functions. Now when I swipe up on locked or unlocked screen, all I get is some play music function. How do I get back to the previously (& regularly used) functions? This is the worst update yet. Apple is going downhill and I will be moving to a different brand when all my contracts are up.
HA! Never mind, I found it. It wasn’t there yesterday. Now it’s swipe up, then swipe right for all the other functions I’ve been needing. Why?
I have 2 problems with this update that I don’t think are bugs but just changed features.
1: I can now only email 5 images from my camera roll, which is very inconvenient to me. With iOS 9 i was able to but now I can’t.
2: IOS 10 also took away the save image option on the web when on websites and such, and the only way is to screenshot and then crop, and the screenshot doesn’t always get the whole picture.
Thank you for your time, 🙂
My Alarm is not working after I updated my ios 10.0.2. Its hard for me.
My Alarm is not working after I updated my ios 10.0.2. Its hard to me.
I have no issues with the new software update of iOS 10 on my iPhone 6 Plus
In fact the software update has fixed some little issues I was experiencing, my phone is working better than before. Thank you so much Apple.
I did not setup passcode for my phone, After updating IOS 10 the phone is asking for passcode!!! All my info is in the phone but I can not access it and it is not my phone. How can I fix this?? HELP
After updating to ios 10 on my iphone 5s i lost network and i reset the phone now i cant activte the phone what should i do ?
I have updated and everything works fine however I keep getting a pop up asking me to input my password for my outlook email. This comes up at least a 100 times a day no matter how many times I input the password
What happened to the screen when you end a call???? All I get is this little circle on the upper right hand corner, I have to touch that in order to get the screen to open and then touch that red circle at the bottom of the screen to end the call. That was already conveniently there when you took the phone away from your face to end the call before the big update, and I have a iPhone 6 Plus. Now there is too many prompts to do, just to end a call….ARE YOU KIDDING ME APPLE?!!!!! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?!!!!!
In reply to Nitz question. If you want the 4 digit code back on the lock screen, there is an options link on the bottom of the screen when you change your passcode. There you can choose 4 digit passcode.
In response to Eva question. I read that you can push the sleep/power button to end a call when the screen locks. I didn’t get to test it yet. I find it frustrating too when I need to hang up the phone after my screen locks.
Than you so much for the update Joe! We really appreciate you chiming in on some of these.
1-Beyond annoyed sign-on screen is now dull gray w/very little contrast. If you didn’t need glasses before, you might now. (settings do not fix) 2-Pushing the home button merely to sign on, will wear out your i-phone much faster. 3-New bubble popping noise for keystrokes-Really? Why not give owners/users an option. 4-Battery=gone. 5. Time to upgrade & may be changing brands.
Since IOS 10 my iPhone 6 keeps freezing when I am in my contacts, I have to lock the screen and try again, sometimes not working until 5th attempt. Tried switching phone on/off not helping. Also don’t like email train, way too confusing
Since I have updated to IOS 10, I no longer can connect to my Airport Express and listened to music. Could you please advise on what I can do to resolve this issue. Thank you for your input.
My forward and back arrows are gone from email on my iPad since I updated to ios10. Any fixes?
Before I updated my phone I didn’t have a password to access my phone…once I updated it it requires my thumb print and if I don’t use the thumb print it requires a password..I have no clue what my old password was before I deactivated the thumb print and password…my thumb print works fine but I would like to remove it. What do I do?
Hi, is there no longer a ‘delete all’ function for junk email folder? I can do this in normal inbox and in trash but not junk? Have to select each message then select delete? Which takes a while when you are getting loads of junk emails!
Bad upgrade. Auto upgrade last night has messed me up. I have lost productivity and very frusterated with the slowness and changes that were a surprise. Last apple product for me. You guys are terrible. The home screen changes suck, I don’t even need to add the passcode MOST of the time! Less secure, WOW and slow, And to try to restore back to the old OS is a nightmare. Apple let me me down, big time.
Clock turned to black background. How do I change this back? Also log-in screen has distorted color – a fades stripe between the 123 and 789 lines and a tinge of green around the circle around the zero. This distortion appears nowhere else in the phone. Also when I swipe to login I get Up Next, Siri App suggestions, News — how do I turn this off? I just want to log in not waste my time!
I updated. All of my “Notes” text is now gone. The titles are there, but text is gone. I tried rebooting the phone. Still gone.
I would rather not look at my widgets every single time I unlock my phone. This is the most annoying thing ever. I want to go to the home screen. Why the hell would I want to look at a widget 80x a day?!!!
Even if I remove the widgets, I still have to look at a blank screen with a search bar at the top. Just delete this whole stupid friggin thing. I am unbelievable frustrated that now I have to do so much work just to get into my phone. Considering how many times I do this during the day, this is excessive. Really, who’s idea was this?!?!? And who approved this feature. Fire them both.
My next phone will not be an Apple. Ive been loyal for years but seriously, The battery life, the excessive price, the shitty overpriced fixed memory options. If you want people to pay high prices for these products then how about you give the people features that make the phone better not worse than the competition.
Also pretty tired of these updates that take the last of my scarce memory (because I didnt want to pay $600 for a tiny bit more memory), and of the updates basically destroying any older version phones. I am sitting on a mint 4S I can’t sell because of how much the last two OS updates destroyed the phone’s performance. Unbelievably ridiculous. Terrible business ethics.
Since update, when receiving calls on iPhone 5s, only contact number displays and not contact name. How do I fix?
Since updating my 6 to ios10 I notice if I am distracted while texting/set phone down nd my screen autolocks ..upon reopening that text …it is empty…started text is GONE….
Any way to fix that? Never happened ntil I updated and very upsetting… use to be able to lv several texts started/opened or closed and return to it whenever.
Thanks…
Since updating on iPad, new bottom suggestive row a nightmare on Twitter, it prevents you from seeing/sing DM features and can’t see what currently typing in DM when using iPad in landscape mode. HORRIBLE. The ‘removal arrow’ only removes for that character and pops right back up with next character typed!
Apart from ios10 I went from ios8 to ios9.3.1, running a iPhone 6+
My safari keeps crashing most annoying thing ever !!!!!
When I get phone calls I can’t swipe answer the screen seems locked even though it’s not.
My Siri is deaf she doesent hear me anymore . Only when I plug ear phones into the jack she hears me through the microphone .
So the question is
To ios10 or not?
What won’t work next . To scared to update
Hi, Since upgrading to iOS 10, the unlock using the thumb/finger print is no longer available and the phone unlocks automatically by pressing the home button. I have tried deleting finger prints and installing new ones but they are not being accepted. I have wiped the button to make sure it is free of debris. I have also tried turning the phone off and back on. Is this something that others are faced with? How can it be corrected. Your prompt response will be greatly appreciated as I do not want my phone easily accessible to others. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Since updating to IOS 10, my contacts keep freezing. The only way that I can move between contacts is to close the phone app and start again. Any suggestions??
