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.
Installing and Activating iOS 10 Related Problems
Installing iOS 10 betas and now the general release is a breeze for most iPhone and iPad users. Apple makes it easy by pushing the OTA update to your iDevice so that you can install it and update it.
There are however times when a major update such as the IOS 10 can lead to a few problems. Problems with installation can vary from not being able to download the install, unable to find the update and unable to successfully activate the iOS 10.
We strongly recommend that you perform a complete backup of your iDevice before you attempt at installing and updating your iDevice to iOS 10. Please check out the following posts if you are having issues in updating your iDevice to iOS 10.

Passcode Required After the iOS Update
So you, your child, your grandmother, friends, or any number of loved ones upgraded to the latest version of iOS and all of the sudden it’s asking for a six-digit (or in some cases a four digit) security code to unlock the iPhone or another iDevice. But you never even had a six-digit security iPhone passcode and now you just cannot get passed this screen.
Follow the Simple directions in the article below to get around this problem.
Slide to Unlock Feature Missing with iOS 10
Several users send emails pointing to this issue. Please note that this is not a problem. It is actually a feature change that has been introduced with iOS 10. It takes a little bit of muscle memory in getting used to this change. Please check below if you are not familiar with this feature.
iMessage Problems with iOS 10
One of the main reasons that a lot of users have updated their iPhone and iPad to iOS 10 is to leverage all the nifty features that come with iOS 10 iMessage. It can be very frustrating if the featured promises of iOS 10 iMessage do not work with your iPhone or iPad.
At a bare minimum, all your existing iMessage functions should be working. If you are having issues with running iMessage functionality on your iPhone and iPad after the iOS 10 update, please check out our comprehensive iMessage troubleshooting guide below.
Please note that we have not seen too many issues with the new iMessage App Store. When downloading the sticker packs and other media from the iMessage App store, please check if it can be used only in iMessage or other apps as well. Our friends at 9to5Mac have prepared a detailed iMessage app store guide for you. Check out the various Sticker Packs and the associated functionality.
FaceTime Setup and Use issues with iOS 10
Nothing is more frustrating when your basic communication mediums and channels do not work properly. Although there are not that many new feature changes to Facetime on iOS 10, sometimes the mere update to the new iOS can cause issues with your Facetime experience.
If you are having any issues with Facetime features following an update to iOS 10, please check below for a list of tips to help you with these issues:
Safari Problems on iOS 10
Although Safari was slow on the iPhone during the early iterations of iOS 10 beta, this was pretty much fixed by 10.1 release. The Safari experience for some can vary from a slow Safari to one that crashes frequently. We didn’t notice the performance problems on iPhone 6s, but the sluggishness was much more pronounced with iPhone 5S running the iOS 10 Beta.
If you are having any of these performance issues with Safari, Please check out our performance boosting tips for Safari below.
No Service after upgrade to iOS 10
Several people have experienced this annoying problem pursuant to an iOS upgrade in the past. If your iPhone shows ‘No Service’ after the iOS 10 update, you can check the tips below and see if it works for you.
- Make sure that the obvious setting is in place. Check out your Cellular settings and make sure that they are ON. Tap on Settings > Cellular Data > ON
- Please check to see that you don’t have any carrier updates pending on your iPhone. Sometimes pending carrier Settings update can cause this issue.
- Taking out the SIM card and then reinserting it back after 10 seconds or so can help solve this problem
- If None of the three steps solved your issue, you may want to reset your Network settings on your iPhone and then give it a try. Tap on Settings > General > Reset Network Settings. Once the device is reset, check and see if your iPhone cellular service is back on
iOS 10 Widgets Not Working
The new and improved widgets on the lock screen are a much-welcomed feature in IOS 10. If your widgets are showing up blank or are not showing you valid information based on your settings, you can take a quick look at our coverage below. At its basic form, some of these widgets such as weather need the location information turned on in your iOS 10 settings.
Several users have also remarked that their WhatsApp does not work, shows blank and the Hey Siri feature doesn’t operate. If you are facing this issue with iOS 10, backup your WhatsApp info, delete the app and re-install the app on your iPhone. That should fix this problem.
iPhone Sluggish or Battery Draining after iOS 10 update
If you are using an iPhone 6S or higher, chances are that you are having a very smooth experience with iOS 10. A lot of the features including the new 3D Touch functionality is designed to take advantage of the power of the newer model of iPhones.
However, if you are running iOS 10 on an older device or are experiencing issues with performance such as sluggishness and Battery drain, you may want to check out our top tips to deal with the problem.
We have also created a Step-by-Step video to show some of the common setting tweaks that will help boost the performance and power of your iDevice running iOS 10. If the battery problems are really bad, sometimes resetting your device as a new device (Factory Settings) can be helpful in solving the battery drainage issue.
Wi-Fi Issues after the iOS 10 update
In general, we have noticed any major wi-fi issues on device pursuant to the iOS 10 update. If you are experiencing Wi-Fi related issues, Please try to reset your Network Settings and give it a try. We think most of the issues and solutions for wi-fi covered during iOS 9.3 apply here. You can check out our coverage on wi-fi issues below.
Other Commonly Asked Q&A and Tips
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.
Cannot Find Trash All / Delete All in iOS 10 e-mail
Several users have reported that they cannot find the steps to trash all emails based on selection criteria on iOS 10 Mail app. There appears to be a change in iOS 10. The “Trash All” has been removed. You will need to follow a series of steps to accomplish this feature now. We have also included the steps that show you how to delete a single message from your text messages in iOS 10.
Where is the Flashlight on iOS 10 Lock Screen?
Some of our readers that recently upgraded their iDevice to iOS 10 had difficulty in accessing the flashlight function on their iPhone.
If you are having issues with it, you may want to check your settings.
- Tap on Settings>Control Center>Access on Lock Screen> Off and then back on.
- Now Lock your iPhone Screen as you would normally do. In order to access the flashlight in lock screen mode, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. Make sure to swipe from the bottom as opposed to the middle of the screen.
- There are two control screens available here. One for the music controls and the other for the flashlight. Just swipe sideways to toggle between the two options.
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. Simply press the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button together for about 20 seconds. Wait until 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 then log back in. This simple sign out and signing in the back can often help with common problems.
Please note that some of the new iOS 10 features such as the “Faces” feature are loosely based on some artificial intelligence. These types of features often 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.
Device Specific iOS 10 features
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 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 iOS 10 to be more robust than the prior iOS releases. But we look forward to your comments.

Doug McKinnon says
Sorry I know this is an older post, but I’m going to ask about this anyway. I just got a iPad Air 2. It has OS version 10.3.2 on it. I have saved some of the pictures off of Google photos into the Photos app on the iPad, but each of those photos appears with black bars above and below the images. I took most of these photos with my Note 5.
Any photos taken with the iPad will fill the whole screen. Is there a way to get the other photos to fill the whole screen also?
Thanks.
SK says
Hi Doug,
I’m guessing this has to do with the resolution of those Google photos. Possibly, your Google images pictures were not shot with true 16:9–maybe they are 3:2. That difference results in the letterboxing you see. In order to get full screen, you’d need to crop those photos using the tools within the Photos app or a third-party image editing app. BUT, by doing this you actually lose some of the resolution (because you are cropping it.)
Cheers,
SK

I have noticed that some of my contacts in my iPhone 7+ contacts do not sync with Outlook for iOS. I ran some tests where I created new contacts, as well as updated existing contacts, and they are all updating in outlook almost immediately, except for some. This is pretty scary as I now don’t know which ones are missing in Outlook, which is also my main app for contacts/email/calendar on my desktop (needless to say these are missing on my office365 exchange server as well). Any ideas on why this would be happening ?
Ros says
Why has my widget stopped working on iOS 9.3.5. I m using an I pad mini which says I can t upgrade to iOS 10.
T. Mackenzie says
I have to log into my hotmail account each time I use it now. Frustrating. How can I sort this. Thanks
Elizabeth says
Hi T. Mackenzie,
This happens to me periodically. I fix it by first removing the account from mail (Settins>Mail>Accounts), restarting the device, and then adding the account back in.
For more detailed instructions, check out this article on mail problem.
Keep us posted!!

Hello, I have an older ipad2 that updated and now I keep having to activate it every time I turn it on or press the sleep button. Will you please help me fix this? Thank you!
Hi Sherrie,
I am sorry you are facing problems with your recent update for your iPad2. It sounds like you updated to iOS 10 and are now facing the lock screen that iOS 10 built in as a security measure. To turn this feature off, go to Settings > Passcode. Enter your passcode. Now, a menu pops up. Scroll down to “Turn Passcode Off” and tap this. You get a warning that this makes your data viewable by anyone with access to your phone. If you are okay with that, tap “Turn Off.” Remember to write down or save your passcode somewhere–you’ll need it when update to the next iOS.
If you do indeed turn off the passcode, remove all information about your debit and credit cards from Wallet and Apple Pay. Go to Settings>Wallet&Apple Pay and remove all cards listed.
A final thing to check is your auto-lock settings. This setting puts your iPad into sleep and lock mode after a period of non-use. Go to Settings>Display&Brightness, tap Auto-Lock and change this as you deem appropriate or select Never. Be aware that changing this setting to Never reduces battery life.
If my interpretation of your comment was off, please let me know.
I hope this helps.
Cheers,
Liz
Hi,
I have an iPhone 6. After 10.2 update I’m no longer seeing the passes on my lock screen. Moreover, there is no option “Suggest on lock screen” in wallet app.
Please guide me how to fix this.
Thank you
Thank you so much Liz we are fixed now. Hooray

Paula,
Yippee!!! Glad it worked and very happy for your son and his new iPad.
Happy New Year,

Hi I purchased an iPad Air 2 for my son for Christmas. Everything was perfect until I installed iOS 10 and now he can’t play any videos on YouTube. The errors “something went wrong” try again keep appearing. It’s really frustrating. Is there anything I can do to rectify this? I have tried searching but am not techy minded so am a bit lost.
Thanks
Paula
Hi Paula,
Your son must be so thrilled with his Xmas gift! So sorry to learn that You Tube isn’t working as expected on iOS 10. This error is usually on You Tube’s side rather than on your Apple side. Something on the YouTube server is usually causing a problem. It happens from time to time.
However, there are a couple of things we can try.
Before we troubleshoot, make sure WiFi is turned ON
First Steps
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds
Ignore the red slider
Let go of the buttons when the Apple Logo appears
Open You Tube App
Check and see if a video plays
If that didn’t work, onto next steps
Okay so now let’s try deleting the current You Tube app from your son’s iPad.
Touch and hold the app until all the apps start to wiggle
Then tap the circled minus sign by the app you want to delete
Next, Restart Your Son’s iPad
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears
Drag the slider to turn your device completely off
After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo
Now, open the App Store and Download/Install You Tube again
Next, open the You Tube App
You need to sign in again
Try playing a video and see if problem resolves
If these issues continue sometimes this helps:
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off
To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button
Now try and play a video on YouTube
Finally, if none of these works for you consider downloading YT Kids–it’s an app for kids, with some parental controls. But you set-it up with our without restrictions so it does indeed play any video if you (as the parent) set it up that way. And if your son is quite young, using YT Kids is a great way to ensure You Tube content is age appropriate.
We wrote a bit about YT Kids in our article Sleep Timer and YT Kids
and we also have a great article on setting up Kids Mode for iDevices, just in case your son is in an age range where you want some control over content.
Keep us posted. I hope something above works for you and your family!
Cheers,
Liz
I have an IPad Air 2 and can no longer delete mail to the trash bin. Keep getting the message “unable to move”. This is very frustrating and using up too much storage. Please contact me.
Hi Barb,
Sorry to learn about your troubles with your iPad Air2. These are fabulous tablets, so it really stinks when things aren’t working as they should. I suggest you read our article on this exact error message, Unable to Move Message
Keep us posted.
Cheers,

I can not get my Yahoo mail attachments to download. I am using Safari 10.0.1 and Apple OS X 10.12.1. I do not have Safari extensions preventing the download of attachments.
If I click on the attachment, I sometimes get the “save to computer” option, but it doesn’t actually download it (save it to my computer). Other times, when I click on the PDF, it opens in Yahoo mail, and the download button does nothing.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Hi!
New problem today (iOS 10.1.1) – Yahoo emails stopped working yesterday in “Mail”. I uninstalled it, intending to re-install it again, but when going through the installation process nothing happens, except that Yahoo tells my Gmail account that logins have been made…
Any solution?
Best wishes,
Emma
I cannot get my ipad pro to copy and paste when I double tap. no menu comes up. Have all the latest updates
Thanks
My “problem” is so unimportant compared to the litany of misery of fellow 6S+ owners. But maybe it’s got an easy fix, so here it is….
I liked the old Contacts photo format with which I was able to retain and access the entire chosen or newly-taken photo — both in Contacts and in Messages. This allowed for flexibility in choosing a pic that IDs the contact. Now I must be careful to use a “full-face” pic so that I can properly see the contact’s face.
Is there a way to make this feature perform again as it did in 9.3.1?
Since updating to 10.1, (I’m using a 5s), I have lost connectivity to iCloud. I go to Settings/iCloud and enter my email/password – it says verifying and then does nothing. So my Photos Library has disappeared off my phone, my contacts have disappeared as well. In the AppStore, it is slow to load. I have 23 apps that need updating, yet when I try to update them, it says that the update can not be done at this time and I have two options – retry (which doesn’t work) and Done which does nothing. I have signed in and out of the app store to no avail. I have reset network settings – no go. I have done a Reset All Settings – no go. I have hard rebooted numerous times – no avail. I was able to update to 10.1.1 – that didn’t help any. I have tried to restore a previous backup – runs about 15 mins and then disconnects saying the iphone has reset. So I can’t restore either.
Sort of at my wit’s end. Some apps work fine – other’s crash. Most are a bit slow to load. Keyboard is sluggish at time. I type a few letters and then it hesitates. Makes me think something is going on in the background (obviously) but I don’t know what.
My biggest concern is getting iCloud and the App store going again.
Thoughts?
all I have to say is that after finding this site I realize that my frustration after installing Ios 10 was not something unique as the people at Apple store would have had me believe when I went in to get my ipad back in working order. the apple team needs to start finetuning and testing before making our lives miserable with their premature “improvements”.
Most of my phone contacts are gone (however when I search for some of them in messages, they come up, but I can`t add them to the phonebook from there).
Where are my contacts and how do I get them back??
Thanx!
Since installing IOS10 on my I phone 5S I have been unable to add a photo to my contacts name on both Whats App and on my telephone directory. Help please as this is so annoying
I can no longer forward text messages since the upgrade. Tapping the text no longer works. When I tap the text I get the new thumbs up, thumbs down, question mark etc. at the top. “more” no longer appears at the bottom unless i push on the text so hard that I’m about to break the screen.
So is iOS 10 the reason why YouTube videos no longer play? Even downloaded the app and that doesn’t work either. Will leave it as minor irritation compared to others
Since updating to IOS 10, i cannot go directly to links on my iPad. I must click on the link, exit the blank page that pops up and then click on the link again. I have tried restarting the iPad but the problem persists.
Has anyone else had a link problem? Sure would like a solution to fix it.
I updated iphone 5 three weeks ago. Rear camera stopped working. Front camera ok. Keep getting flash disabled phone needs to cool message even when phone hasn’t been used. Flashlight also not working. All this started about a week ago.
I updated my 6 and now my camera does not work
I just got an IPhone6 yesterday, totally new, and I can not watch YouTube video right now. but it’s not only YouTube, I can not watch anything whether it’s on Safari or other things like that.
Please help me because I could watch normally yesterday and I can not watch today.
I take photos for work and then email them to myself. I am going through the motions (select multiple photos, send to email) and they are never arriving even though they appear sent. In the same fashion, I use my IPad to take notes at work in Pages and then “send a copy” as a Word Document to myself. It goes through the motions but the document never sends. I have rebooted both devices multiple times. Any help is appreciated, this is making my job so much harder!
Upgraded to iOS 10.0.2 and my camera app would show images only in video mode but not in photo or square or panorama…can someone help me please!!
Hi, I am just wondering if anyone else seen this issue below:
Description: In IOS10 you keep getting notification, randomly the notification screen stops working, I.E you can see notification etc, but if you tap them nothing happens. A simple reboot sort the problem out.
I upgraded last night..all seemed good..and then somehow I managed to hit the delete INBOX icon inadvertantly..and it erased my entire inboxes..not only the icon but all programs associated with it..never happened before..and that ICON (much like other Apple related ICONS) should be immune to a mistake delete..having my IT guy at work try to resurrect..but if this happened while I was traveling..I would be totally screwed..my IT guy says that there is an APP that can be downloaded to protect this from happening again..but everyone in our large lawfirm is going to have to get it!
Third person to log that after upgrade on iPhone 6 the contacts sometimes freezes & you have to make it crash (close & open constantly) only then will it work normally again (another purchased app has the same issue)
Please come up with a fix , the new e mail format sucks, I cannot view videos…this upgrade totally sucks…
Hello I have an 5s since the update to ios10 cannot use iMessage…it says activation unsuccessful…..
Try this. Hope it helps with the activation problem.https://appletoolbox.com/facetime-imessage-waiting-for-activation-how-to-fix/
After updating IOS 10 – I have lost all of my emails, In addition when I send a test from another device that is not being received either.I have two email addresses fed into my phone, I have deleted and set up the accounts again but to no avail.
Wish I never updated ..Any help would be appreciated
I have iPhone 6, had upgraded to IOS 10. After upgrade Camera option is not there not even any camera app is working.
Deepak, Please do a reset. That seems to work for most people. press the home and the wake/sleep button for 15 seconds together till you see the Apple logo and let the device start on its own.
I want to add my voice to the host of people complaining about the new email format. I very much liked iPhone’s old service of organizing emails by thread, that was very useful. Now, however, my emails are not organized by thread so much as the are all combined into one gigantic email per topic. So now when I open one email “thread” on a topic, I have ALL of the emails, sent by everyone on the email chain, combined into one giant email, and I have the honor of trying to scroll down through that gigantic email to try to parse out which section belongs to which person’s email response. The problem is exacerbated by the fact that most people use the “include previous email” function in their replies – which is done to enable the recipient to know which email they are responding to, but which now results in the same email being mixed in with the replies over and over and over again. How do I turn this off???? In a million years who thought dumping all emails together into one big email was in any way useful? Please undo this “fix” please, and give us back functional email.
Thank you.
After the update I can’t screensave… I know the combinatoon, but now when i push home, it takes me to home, it doesnt take the shot… Help!
How do these clowns learn to test software?
It was a HUGE mistake installing the 10.0.2 upgrade!
I can no longer download my photos from my iPhone to my Mac Book Pro!
Every time I connect with the cable I am prompted to either TRUST or DON’T Trust this computer. (EVERY TIME!)
Then when I open IPhoto, which does not open automatically as before, I get this message: Photos on Camera Roll of iPhone cannot be imported because the device is locked with a passcode. You must unlock the device to import them.
Then I unlock the device and the same s.h.i.t happens.
Please! HELP.
…and Bluetooth also no longer allows me to browse the device, nor does iTunes…
How do I opt out of offers to update the OS on my iPhone? It’s bad enough that i have to say no multiple times a day…then you trick us into it by popping up the security screen and in little letters at the bottom, say to enter your code to update later…
I don’t want your new features and new problems and when I do I’d be happy to go to settings and select the available upgrade or buy a new phone. Why should I have to deal with all of the “fixes”, when I didn’t want the update to begin with?
The separation between my old windows based smart phone and my iPhone is getting smaller…please stop.
I cannot access my calendars through the Google App or the Apple calendar. nothing shows up, and it just hangs.
Bluetooth is rubbish and keeps resetting
I upgraded by accident and am sorely regretting it. It may even be enough to drive me to Android which I deeply loathe.
After upgrading my iPad mini with iOS 10.0.2, Yahoo Calendar tab disappeared from Yahoo mail. Yahoo mail is fine.
In My-Yahoo, it shows 3 days of calendar events, but click “Go to Yahoo Calendar” link at the bottom, will take me to the Yahoo SIGN IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT webpage, after enter password and click “Sign-in”, it will go back to Yahoo SIGN IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT again, and this repeats forever; even after going through a few change password routines and verify account, as soon as trying to access Yahoo Calendar, the Yahoo SIGN IN TO YOUR ACCOUNT is back.
I had no problem with Yahoo Calendar before iOS 10 upgrade, I even waited for awhile until 10.0.2. Please fix urgently.
Hi after updating to iOS 10.0.2, my mail app wont let me save more then 5 images from attachments, and unike before when i could just click on save all images i have to individual click to download each image, and even then only 5 of those save each time?
The IOS 10 update made my already nearly impossible day at work even harder, I work from my phone throughout the day and have found email chains nearly impossible to follow. I will only respond from single emails, with a single person due to issues with email threads and emails that involve more than people.
This may have pushed me to finally say my goodbye to Apple products
iOS 10 – How to turn OFF keyboard click sounds when using the calculator? Very annoying!
Toril,Thanks for your feedback. Unfortunately, There is no way to turn off those clicks on the keyboard while using the calculator. Many users have found this very annoying and have submitted feedback to Apple. Hopefully the next version will have a feature to turn it off. The usual Keyboard Sound Setting doesn’t work for this app.
After updateing to 10, my Dictionary has disappeared. I went into settings and turned them off at and reset and then went back in to turn it back on and it still not working.
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??
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.
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
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!
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 update, when receiving calls on iPhone 5s, only contact number displays and not contact name. How do I fix?
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 thing. I am unbelievably 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 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.
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.
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!
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.
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!
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?
My forward and back arrows are gone from email on my iPad since I updated to ios10. Any fixes?
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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?!!!!!
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
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 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
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.
My Alarm is not working after I updated my ios 10.0.2. Its hard to me.
My Alarm is not working after I updated my ios 10.0.2. Its hard for me.
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, 🙂
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?
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.
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?
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.
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.
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?
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.
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?
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.

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.
I’ve been uploading for the past 3 hours and the download hasn’t moved. How can I stop the upload?
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
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
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?
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…
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?
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.
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 have lost all content in my emails. Please help!
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.
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.
I have a Iphone 6 s and with this new IOS 10 I cannot facetime how frustrating

please help, i need emails for work 🙂
andy
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.
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.
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.
I’m not getting any Notification Sounds with Webmail. In or out. Has anyone had this?
after updating to ios 10 the camera works in opposite direction and auto rotaion is not working
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?
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!
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.
After installing IOS 10, I can no longer access yahoo mail. An error message appears “too many redirects”.
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!
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
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.
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?
Whenever I go to my camera. It totally freezes and does not work ever since I updated it.
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.
I have AT&T and have had No Service since updating to IOS 10.1
Yes, I have turned off and on, yes I have reset. I have 6S. Help!

I just installed Safari 10.0 and cannot download email attachments now.
my touchscreen does not respond all the time, I have to wait until it times out and then I’k good for awhile. I could be in the middle of typing a text and it just stops responding, please advise
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.https://appletoolbox.com/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’m having a new problem with Awesome Calendar using ios 10 for the ipad. When you tap it, when you try to open the calendar, it disappears instantly. You can then find it by double clicking the home button. this lets you see it briefly but when you click to get the calendar on the home screen, it disappears once again! I don’t have the problem with my iphone running ios10
Hi.
Just upgraded my iphone 6 to 10.0.1 and cant reseive my yahoo mails and my private and important mailfolders are gone 🙁
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 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.
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 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 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.
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 just updated to iOS 10 and I can’t watch YouTube videos because I can’t turn airplay off. Helpppp
in ios 10 there is no option to set a 4 digits code like it had in ios 9.
at least not in the same screen like it was in the ios 9.
if someone know how to change it to 4 digits ill love to know
Worst version of IOS so far..font is too big..the intuitiveness of ios is slowly fading away…..designed resembled android/windows
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.
I am facing following issues after the update of my iphone 5s from ios 9.0.5 to ios 10.0.1
After Updates:
My battery performance is reduced
Sets is getting slow and frequently hanging issues has been started.
and most important issue am facing is when i talk in my phone via my carrier or after talking via whats app calls and after hanging up the, i don’t understand what happens i am not able to get any further calls if any one calls me he says its ringing but i don’t find any one calling and after restart the set everything is back to normal and in this case of non restart everything works fine but without a non restart i cant receive any notification of carrier or any call please fix this bug .
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.
Any thoughts?
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.
My security setting also came up as 6 digits. You can go into your security settings and choose 4 digits
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.
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.
@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!
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.
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!
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!!! 🙁
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.
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
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
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 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.
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
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
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.
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.
I have no issues deleting other apps. This is strictly a FB app issue.
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.
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?
Hi,

Hi since I did the upgrade to iOs 10 I cannot get my phone to link up to my itunes or my laptop?
FaceTime is not connecting after the update to iOS 10
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
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.
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!
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
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.”
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 ..
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.
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!!!
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.
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.
I downloaded iOS 10 and everywhere I go I have ‘no service’! Why is this?
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”

Im just wondering why all features isn’t working with iphone 6. Especially 3D features in iphone 6 after installing IOS 10
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?
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.
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 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.

But when I go back to a place that has service, the iphone will not catch the signal until I restart my iphone. Any help with thay please? Thanks
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.
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
