Apple iOS 11 is troubled. While arguably the most ambitious iOS upgrade in generations (and packed with secret features), the launch was tainted by numerous problems and iOS 11.0.1 only added to them. Now Apple has rushed out a second fix, iOS 11.0.2, but should you upgrade or will it only make things worse?
Here’s everything you need to know…
Who Is iOS 11.0.2 For?
Like all iOS 11 updates, iOS 11.0.2 is compatible with the iPhone 5S or later, iPad mini 2 or later and the 6th generation iPod touch or later.
Compatible devices will be notified about the iOS 11.0.2 update automatically, but if this doesn’t happen you can trigger it manually by going to Settings > General > Software Update. Tip: iOS 11.0.2 is not part of the beta program, so if you are then you will need to unroll your device for it to show up.
iOS update sizes vary depending on the device but, like iOS 11.01, iOS 11.0.2 is typically weighing in at around 300MB.
The Deal Breakers
Yes, iOS 11.0.2 will break jailbroken iPhones, iPads and iPod touch. Steer clear until your jailbreaker of choice notifies you it has made a breakthrough.
Unfortunately, just like iOS 11 and iOS 11.0.1, there are a lot of users reporting problems with a variety of issues. It is too early to write-off this update, but poor battery life, performance lag and overall instability are common complaints. Users have been taking to reddit and social media to vent their frustration.
Of course with hundreds of millions of iPhones, iPads and iPod touches in the world it is impossible to know the full scale of these problems, but I am working on an investigation which will provide greater scale and will update this article once the results are in.
That said I’d advise you steer clear of iOS 11.0.2 for now, unless you have one of the issues detailed in the next section…
iPhone 8 release date, specs and price, while iOS 11 hints at more powerful camera with AR focus.
YEAH, WE KNOW The iPhone 8 is probably still around
five months away but that hasn't stopped speculation and loose-lipped
execs spilling details about Apple's next-generation smartphone.
The iPhone 8, apparently set to arrive as the 'iPhone Edition', will
be Apple's 10th-anniversary smartphone, and looks set to be the first to
debut wireless charging tech, a curved AMOLED display and an unusual
vertical dual rear-facing camera. If rumours are to be believed, the
so-called 'Edition' will launch alongside the less-impressive iPhone 7S
and 7S Plus.
We've rounded up everything we know about the iPhone 8 so far and will update this article as soon as we hear more.
Release date The iPhone 8 is likely to be announced in September 2017, marking 10 years since the firm launched its first smartphone.
However, one report claims that it might not be available to
buy until the fourth quarter, noting that the iPhone 8 may be available
in limited quantity only. A note by analyst Timothy Arcuri from Cowen
and Company has added weight to this and claims that production could be
delayed due to issues with its Touch ID sensor.
Another report suggests the iPhone 8 may not arrive until 2018. A research Deutsche Bank, picked up by Business Insider, claims the smartphone won't make it onto shelves this year due to supply chain issues and "technical challenges".
As if just to confuse matters more, Digitimes is reporting that mass production of the iPhone 8 is on schedule and that the smartphone will see a release in October.
PriceIf it's anything like Apple's new MacBooks,
next year's iPhone will be more expensive than this year's release, and
some are claiming that the highest-spec model will be the first iPhone
to cost more than $1,000.
Rumoured specs- 5.8in 2.5D OLED edge-to-edge display - New design with an 'all-glass' construction - Wireless charging support - Apple A11 chip - Rear-facing Touch ID sensor - iOS 11 with improved Siri, P2P payments - Face-scanning technology - Vertical dual cameras on rear

Apple has now released iOS 10.3.2 download, a small release that fixes bugs that showed up in iOS
10.3.1 and helps to improve performance. It also contains a number of
security fixes that have got the jailbreak community concerned that
there won’t be an iOS 10.3.2 jailbreak for iPhone. The good news is, there is one and it is available for download now. With iOS 11
the next big thing, it is likely that Apple will slow down on iOS 10
releases now and concentrate on just maintaining it. Here’s how to
jailbreak iOS 10.3.2.
How to Jailbreak iOS 10.3.2 : Safari Browser
Don’t worry about any other browser because Safari is the only one that will work :
Open Safari browser and go to downloadpangu.org
2. Our mobile web page will load so tap on the UP arrow , top or bottom of the page.
3, When the new options load on the screen, select and tap on Add to Home Screen
4. You are now going to be asked to give the app icon a name so type Pangu into the box . Tap the Add button and close Safari
5. Look on your Home screen and you will see the Pangu icon
The iOS 10.3.2 update primarily focuses on
bug fixes and security patches, and the release notes vaguely says,
"includes bug fixes and improves the security of your iPhone or iPad."
The security update page says that bugs in Safari, notifications,
CoreAudio , AVEVideoEncoder, iBooks, WebKit-related fixes, and more have
been tackled with in this update. If security is your priority, we
recommend you to download the update as soon as possible.
This update will be available for iPhone 5 and later devices, iPad fourth generation and later devices, and iPod touch 6th generation and later devices. Head over to Settings > General > Software Update to
download and install the new update. Alternatively, you can even update
via iTunes. First install iTunes, and then connect your iOS device to
your PC or Mac. In iTunes select your device's icon on the top bar,
click the Summary tab and then click Check for update. Now, click Download and update.
At this point, you should follow the simple on-screen instructions to
install iOS 10.3.2. Ensure that you have at least 50 percent battery
backup, and a strong Wi-Fi connection when attempting to update. Don't
forget to backup your iOS device before you download and install the
update.
This update:
Fixes an issue where audio may stutter when played through USB headphones
Enhances compatibility of the App Store with future software updates
Adds support for media-free installation of Windows 10 Creator Update using Boot Camp
As a reminder, iOS
11 is just around the corner, ready for an announcement at Apple's WWDC
conference which starts June 5. Some rumors of little credibility but
big hope suggest iCloud integration and more contextual learning
capabilities for Siri, as well as group FaceTime calls and design tweaks
as possible new additions. Apple doesn't seem to be running out of
ideas anytime soon!
Apple recently released
its iOS 10.3 update and today we want to take a close look at everything
we know, right now, about the the iOS 10.3 update and its release for
iPhone, iPad and iPod touch.
Today we want to take an updated look at the most important things to know about the iOS 10.3 update and its release.
We’ve downloaded the iOS 10.3 update on the iPhone 7, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6, and iPhone 5.
The iOS 10.3 update is massive, over 600MB for the iPhone 7, and the
installation process took a lot longer than usual due in part to Apple’s
new APFS file system.
Battery life is
currently holding up on all four phones. We haven’t experienced any
weird drain when in use or standby. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and cellular data
are also stable.
We’ve noticed some
improvements to the iPhone 5’s boot speed and its UI. The user interface
feels faster and more fluid than the previous versions of iOS 10.
As of right now, iOS 10.3 is treating these three devices well and
it’s recommended if you’re interested in iOS 10.3’s features, protecting
your device from potential harm, or if you’re suffering from an
unfixable iOS issue.
iOS 10.3 Problems
iOS 10.3 users are complaining about a wide range of issues including
weird battery drain, issues with Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, lag, random
reboots, and issues with third-party apps.
As of right now, these issues are isolated. They’re also extremely common after a major iOS update release.
Most of these iOS 10.3 problems can be solved from the comfort of a computer chair at work or your home.
If you’re seeing an issue after downloading iOS 10.3,take a look at the step below .
Downgrade & iOS 10.3.1
If you decide to download the iOS 10.3 update know that there is no
longer a way to drop down to another official version of iOS 10.
If iOS 10.3 is causing problems for you you’re stuck until Apple rolls out a new version of iOS 10.
Apple’s no longer signing off on iOS 10.2.1 which means you can’t
drop down to it if you’re unhappy with the iOS 10.3 update’s performance
on your iPhone or iPad. Unfortunately, you can’t drop down to anything
older than iOS 10.2.1 either.
follow these steps here to modify / change your iOS
Or click here : ipsw.me
Also note that you can now “upgrade” to iOS 10.3.1.
There are several ways of getting this done i.e using iFunbox , AppCake e.t.c
In this post i'll be assistingyou with the most reliable for already jailbroken devices which is the AppCake.
Appcake is an application that allows users with jailbroken iOS devices
to download paid apps free of charge so they can try them before buying
them. iOS users who used Cydia to jailbreak their devices can install
Appcake directly from the Cydia application.
1. Launch the Cydia app from the Home screen of your iOS device.The application may take up to several minutes to load if there are new updates available.
2. Tap on “Sources" at the bottom of the Cydia home screen
3. Add the sources Go to Sources tab in Cydia, tap Edit and then Add.
A dialogue box will display on-screen.
4. Always use Official Repo. Put the repo in the box: “cydia.iphonecake.com” into the dialogue box and tap on “Add Source.”
5. Confirm to Add. Tap on the "Add Anyway", to ignore the warning about piracy Your iOS device will take a few moments to download the resources needed to run Appcake.
6. Finish Adding. You should see a new source added, called: AppCake.
7. Find AppCake Go into the source, then tap All Packages, you should see AppCake .Tap on “AppCake".(If your device is iOS7)
If your device is iOS4, tap "AppCake(for iOS4.2&lower).
If your device is iOS6, tap "AppCake for iOS6".
8. Install AppCake. Choose the right AppCake for you, then tap 'Install',then on “Confirm” located at the top right corner of your session. Appcake will begin the installation process.
If you are using iOS 7, you will also be required to install a patch
called “AppSync Patch iOS 7.x” in order for Appcake to run efficiently
on your device. This patch can be installed directly from the Sources
screen.
9. Tap on “Restart Springboard” when the command displays on-screen to successfully complete the installation process for Appcake
When installing Appcake, some users may see an application called
“AppSync” being downloaded at the same time. This app is required for
use with Appcake on iOS devices that had never used Installous prior to
downloading Appcake.
10. Appcake will now display on your Home screen and be ready for use.
How to jailbreak an iPhone or iPad running iOS 10.2
So, if you want to jailbreak your iPhone or iPad running iOS 10.2, you’ll have to use the recently released Yalu jailbreak, however it’s not all smooth sailing. Unlike with other jailbreaks, the developer has flagged the Yalu jailbreak as being an alpha build, meaning there might be issues on your device. Proceed if you desire, or you can hold off for now and wait for a more stable build to be released in the coming weeks.
Also, the jailbreak only supports certain devices at the time of writing:
iPhone 6s
iPhone 6s Plus
iPad Pro
iPhone SE
Unfortunately, those with an iPhone 7 or 7 Plus are out of luck for now, although support should come in the following days or weeks, so we’d avoid updating to iOS 10.2.1 if you’re planning to jailbreak. For those with an iPhone 6s, 6s Plus, iPad Pro or iPhone SE, follow these instructions to jailbreak your iOS device running iOS 10.2. 1) The first step is to download the tools required – you can download the Yalu Jailbreak IPA for iOS 10.2 from here (named yalu102_alpha.ipa at the time of writing), and you can grab the appropriate version of Cydia Impactor (Mac, Windows, Linux) from here. 2) Unzip the Cydia Impactor file you downloaded above, and run it. 3) Once Cydia Impactor is running, connect the iOS device you want to jailbreak to your Mac/PC using the supplied Lightning cable. It should be automatically recognised by the app. 4) Once your iOS device is connected, drag yalu102_alpha.ipa (the Yalu jailbreak IPA) into the Cydia Impactor app, click the ‘Start’ button and click ‘OK’ when an Apple Developer Warning appears. 5) The next step is to ‘sign’ the app using an Apple ID – the developers assure users that the information is used only for signing the app and nothing more, but those who want to be more secure can opt for a secondary Apple ID. Anyway, input your Apple ID email address, click ‘OK’, then input your Apple ID password and click ‘OK’. 6) Cydia Impactor should then automatically prepare everything based on your input, and sign the IPA file. If all goes well, the Yalu app should then be installed on your iOS device. 7) On your iOS device, open the Settings menu and head to General > Profiles & Device Management. Tap the profile named as the Apple ID you signed in using the Cydia Impactor app and make sure you establish it as a trusted developer by tapping Trust. 8) Open the newly installed Yalu app (labelled yalu102) on your iOS device and press the Go button to initiate the jailbreak. 9) Wait while the jailbreak payload is injected into the device – this may take some time, and it’s important that you don’t touch your iOS device during this process. The screen will go white, then will reboot once the jailbreak has been completed. 10) Once the device has restarted, you should see Cydia appear on your Home screen – open the app and begin installing your favourite jailbreak apps and tweaks.
As the jailbreak is only semi-tethered at the time of writing, you’ll have to re-run the Yalu app every time you restart your device to re-jailbreak it. If a fully untethered jailbreak is released in future, we’ll update this section so make sure you keep checking back soon.

How to unlock a disabled Apple ID: Restore your account when your Apple ID is locked 'for security reasons'
How to unlock a disabled Apple ID that's locked for security reasons
Apple takes security very seriously, and if it
suspects your account has been hacked it will suspend it. You'll get a
message that your account is "locked for security reasons". Here's what
to do.
How to reset your Apple ID when it has been blocked for security reasons
My Apple ID has been locked "for security reasons". How do I unlock my Apple ID?
Your Apple ID and password are used throughout Apple's
network of services. Which makes it particularly inconvenient when Apple
locks your Apple account and sends you a message that it's locked for "security reasons".
This is supremely annoying, especially if you're trying to
read your mail or get the latest app from the App Store. But it's all
for the best, because often this warning means that somebody has been
trying to get into your Apple account, and Apple has thwarted them. Your
Apple ID is locked typically when somebody enters your password
incorrectly too many times.
Here's how to unlocked a disabled Apple ID and account that's been locked for security reasons.
How to unlock a disabled Apple ID: How do I know if my Apple ID is locked for security reasons?
If you suspect your Apple ID has been locked you will see one of these alerts:
This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons.
You can't sign in because your account was disabled for security reasons.
This Apple ID has been locked for security reasons.
How to unlock a disabled Apple ID: What to do if your account is locked for security reasons
Follow these steps if your Apple ID has been locked:
Enter the First Name, Last Name and Current Email Address fields.
Click Next.
If you have two-step verification enabled you'll need to enter the
Recovery Key. If you don't have two-step enabled skip to the next step.
You should have the recovery key printed out and stored safely
somewhere. Enter the number and click Next. Select the phone number used
for two-step verification and click Continue. Enter the Verification
Code and press Continue.
Enter the New Password and Confirm Password fields.
Click Reset Password.
You will now have reset the password for your Apple ID. This
also unlocks the account and enables you to start using it again. You
will need to use the new password with all your accounts on your iPhone
and Mac.
How to unlock a disabled Apple ID: Update your password on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Follow these steps to update your password on an iOS device:
Ads by Revcontent
Tap Settings > iCloud.
Tap Edit, if asked.
Enter your new password and tap Done.
How to unlock a disabled Apple ID: Update your Password in macOS Sierra
Here's how to update your password in macOS Sierra
Open System Preferences (Apple menu > System Preferences).
Click iCloud.
Click Sign Out.
Enter your new password and click Sign In.
You may also need to enter the new password as required in
Mail, FaceTime, iTunes and other services. These will request your
password as needed and then remember the new password for later.
For every new update Apple puts out, there’s a small and intrepid team of hackers out on the internet trying to break Apple’s security. Running a jailbroken version of iOS lets you take full control of the software, and consequently install every UI tweak and additional feature you can think of.
Jailbreaking used to be more popular, back in the day before you could delete the Stocks app, and pre-copy-and-paste. These days, it’s a more niche activity.
Video source from CrackUriDevice
But that hasn’t stopped hacker Luca Todesco from releasing a semi-stable iOS 10 jaibreak that works up to iOS 10.2, on most devices. So far, it works on the iPhone 6S or 6S Plus, iPhone SE and iPad Pro. There’s an iPhone 6 version in the works, according to the Reddit Jailbreak sub, but the iPhone 7 is going to be much harder to crack.
A complete video guide to the procedure is embedded above, which only requires a little bit of technical proficiency. It’s not as involved as you might think, but it does require messing around with developer tools so you should at least know which end of the Lightning cable is which.
In short, you need to download some files onto your computer (which you can find here), connect your device, use iTunes to install, then run the corresponding Yalu app on your phone to complete the jailbreak. Although this release is “semi-stable,” all jailbreaks do tend to be buggy, and there is always a danger with this that you might brick your device. Have fun — just make sure your data is safely backed up first.
Apple's iOS 10 update is out, but that just means problems are in
Update: There's some nasty iOS 10 bugs going around that can crash your iPhone with a simple text message, so we've added ways to protect your iOS device.
iOS 10.2 is now available, which is both good and bad news. With new features comes a new set of problems. We've updated this guide with a number of fixes for iOS 10.2 issues, and will continue to add them as new ones emerge. If you have a problem with iOS 10, let us know in the comments section and we'll do our best to help.
You're not alone if you're experiencing iOS 10 problems, as the iPhone and iPad update has run into a number of issues, and if you've encountered any, don't panic as there are many ways to fix them.
There are both intentional changes by Apple that need to be remedied for some users, and unintentional glitches due to bad code that we can help alleviate. It just takes some iOS 10 troubleshooting.
From poor battery life, to spotty Bluetooth connectivity, to iPhones and iPads bricking when trying to update, here's our all-encompassing guide to solving your iOS 10 problems.
Once you've sorted out your iOS 10 problems, check out our how to use iOS 10 guide to get the most out of the mobile operating system
iOS 10.1.1 battery issues
It's being reported that the iOS 10.1.1 update is lowering the battery life of iPhones it's installed on, with iPhones turning off when they hit 30% battery remaining.
Other people are noticing that they iPhone batteries now drop from 100% to 50% in under an hour after installing iOS 10.1.1.
Apple appears to be aware of the problem, but no fix has been released so far. If you haven't updated your iPhone to iOS 10.1.1 then we'd recommend holding off for the time being until a fix has been released.
If you've already installed iOS 10.1.1 and are encountering the battery life problem, then you can roll back to a previous version of iOS 10, or go back to iOS 9.
To do so, follow our guide on how to uninstall iOS 10 and downgrade to iOS 9.
How to fix iOS 10.0.2 problems
Apple has released an update to iOS 10, known as iOS 10.0.2, and while this addresses a number of problems we discuss in this page, there are a number of problems still plaguing iOS 10 users.
If you still experience low battery life, flaky Bluetooth and unreliable Wi-Fi connections with iOS 10.0.2, read on below to find the solution to your iOS 10.0.2 problems.
Hopefully iOS 10.0.3 and beyond will do a better job at fixing these issues.
iOS 10 battery life drain
There's a lot of newness happening with September 13's big software update, but that also means we've been experiencing poor iOS 10 battery life, and with the recent release of iOS 10.0.2, these problems remain.
Remember this thing?
iOS 10.1 will likely address battery life drain, but until that happens, here's what we found works to increase the uptime of our iPhone and iPad.
Turn off background app refresh in Settings > General > Background App Refresh. It'll give you a list of apps, and you don't really need a lot of these to constantly update in the background. It's a big battery life killer.
Turn off Fitness Tracking and non-essential apps tucked away in Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness. If you have an Apple Watch, you don't need fitness tracking on your phone. We also found Health, Microsoft Health, TripAdvisor and Waze keeping tabs on us and wasting battery life. No thanks.
Turn Wi-Fi on and off at the right times. When you're at home or work, make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi instead of cellular. When you're out, prevent your iPhone from constantly hunting for open Wi-Fi networks when there are none you can join. The swipe-up-from-the-bottom Control Center has a handy toggle for W-Fi.
Keep that brightness slider in check. Display brightness is the #1 battery life killer, so stop lighting up your phone every two minutes just to check the time. Spoiler alert: it's two minutes later than the last time you checked.
Keep track which apps are draining your battery life the most. Now every app is tuned to the iOS 10 update and could be wasting precious battery. Head to Settings > Battery to see the top villains here, especially Twitter and music-streaming apps.
If you have an iPhone 6S, then the cause could be a faulty battery. The good news is that Apple will replace your iPhone 6S battery for free.
Check out our guide on how to get your iPhone 6S battery replaced for more information.
iOS 10 bricking phones
While the beta went well for us, the final launch of iOS 10 has bricked a number of iPhones and iPads. That's disheartening for Apple fans after a solid three-month beta.
The solution here is a simple one, thankfully: good ol' iTunes (you hate it, but love it when you need it) has had success in restoring afflicted Apple devices. Time to resort to a Mac or PC.
With the news of iOS 10 bricking iPhones and iPads around the world, now is a good time to mention that you should always back up your devices before updating.
Over-the-air (OTA) updates have made us lazy when it comes to backing up our precious iPhone and iPad data. And iCloud backups work, but only if you're paying Apple enough to back up your entire storage capacity.
How to avoid the latest iPhone-crashing bugs
There are some nasty bugs out there that can make your iPhone crash just by receiving a text message.
To protect yourself from these bugs, make sure you upgrade to the latest version of iOS 10, where the bugs have been fixed. If your iPhone gets affected by this bug, restart the device then update to iOS 2.2.2 or later.
For more information check out our guide on how to avoid the latest iPhone-crashing bugs.
iOS 10 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues
This problem creeps up every year, and sadly it's no different with iOS 10. Even after Apple released iOS 10.0.2 people are still experiencing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems.
In iOS 10.2 people are also complaining about their devices disconnecting from the Wi-Fi when they are locked.
Here's what we've done to resolve both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems in one fell swoop: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. It's the third option down, and you'll want to avoid Reset All Settings and Erase All Content and Settings.
By selecting Reset Network Settings you'll keep your data intact, but your wireless connects will be back to their default settings. That usually solves our issues.
AssistiveTouch freezes in iOS 10.2
Some users are experiencing problems with the AssistiveTouch feature, which makes it easier to use some commands such as multi-finger gestures.
In iOS 10.2 there have been cases where this feature becomes unresponsive and freezes. To fix this, try turning AssistiveTouch off and on again. To do this, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > AssistiveTouch and toggle the feature off and on.
How to stop Messages installing other apps
A new feature of iOS 10 allows apps to install themselves via the iMessages App Store. These extensions can make using the Messages app easier, as you can quickly check out third party apps from within Messages, but it can also make the app more complicated to use.
To stop iMessage extensions from automatically installing, open up the Messages app and tap on the arrow icon, then 'Apps'.
Next, tap the four circles icon in the bottom-left of the screen, then select the 'Store' icon. Tap 'Manage' then toggle the switch next to 'Automatically Add Apps' to off.
iOS 10 crashes when sending messages
If your iPhone or iPad running iOS 10 crashes - or the screen becomes unresponsive - when sending messages, then try these methods to fix the problem.
First reboot your iPhone or iPad to see if that fixes the problem. If not you may need to delete the conversation thread if a particular conversation is causing iOS 10 to crash.
To do this, open up the Messages app, then tap and hold on any sent or received messages in the conversation.
From the menu that appears, tap 'More' then tap on the Trash icon. At the top of the screen tap 'Delete All' - this will erase all the messages in the conversation, so if any contain important information, make a note of them.
If messages are still not sending, open up Settings, then go to General > Reset and tap on 'Reset Network Settings'.
If that doesn't work, then you may need to reset your device. Open up Settings, then tap on 'General'. Scroll down to 'Reset' then tap on 'Reset All Settings', then tap it again to confirm.
iOS 10 home button
iOS 10 changes the home button functionality now that 'Slide to Unlock' is no more. It actually makes you press in on the Touch ID fingerprint sensor.
Is that too much work for you? Apple didn't seem to think so when it developed iOS 10, but here's a quick fix in case you want to go back to the old way of unlocking your phone.
It's super-buried in iOS 10's settings. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button (midway down the page) and turn on 'Rest Finger to Open'.
This will enable you to open your iPhone or iPad with Touch ID, without having to press the home button any more.
If the Home button doesn't work, then press the Sleep/Wake button to lock your device, then wait a few seconds and then press the Home button. The iPhone or iPad should wake up.
If it doesn't restart your device and see if that helps. If not, check for any dust, dirt or anything else around the Home button and clean it with a cloth.
Some people are complaining that the button used to put their iPhone or iPad to sleep, and to wake it up, isn't working in iOS 10.
To fix it try pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button, and if you see a "slide to power off" message, do so to turn your device off, then turn it back on.
If you can't turn it off, force restart by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for ten seconds until you see the Apple logo.
On iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Volume Down buttons.
Some people have noticed that their iPhones no longer vibrate in iOS 10 when they receive messages. To fix this, first try restarting the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep button and the Home button for around 10 seconds.
The iPhone will restart and the Apple logo will appear. If this doesn't work, then you may need to factory reset your iPhone. Before doing this, make sure you back up all your files and settings, as performing a reset will clear all of your data from the device.
Touch ID stops working in iOS 10
If Touch ID has stopped working, and you can't configure it after upgrading to iOS 10, then try the following:
Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and enter your passcode. Turn off iTunes & App Store, then reboot your device. Go back to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and turn on iTunes & App Store.
You may need to remove and then rescan your fingerprints. To do this go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and scroll down to the list of fingerprints. Tap on the fingerprint you want to delete, then select 'Delete' and restart your device. Once your iPhone or iPad restarts, go back into settings and add your fingerprint. Touch ID should now work.
Your iPhone loses cellular network and can't reconnect
If you've updated to iOS 10 and your iPhone loses signal, you may find that the phone can't reconnect to a network afterwards, even when moving into an area where you know you receive signal.
If you restart your iPhone you'll be reconnected to the network. While this is a temporary solution, it's not perfect, as if you lose signal again you won't be able to reconnect until you restart.
You can also turn on Airplane mode, then turn it off again to reconnect. Some mobile networks are also suggesting that you reinstall iOS 10, but this time update it by plugging it into your PC or Mac and using iTunes.
For more information on updating via iTunes, check out our How to download iOS 10 right now guide.
iOS 10 cellular network problems
Some iPhone owners are experiencing problems connecting to their mobile network after updating to iOS 10, with their devices either not finding a network, or having greatly reduced reception.
Many people suffering from this are on T-Mobile and the network is aware of the problem and is working on an update that they will push out to customers in the next few days.
If you can't wait that long, it may be worth trying the solution above, where you downgrade to a previous version of iOS, and then update to iOS 10 via iTunes.
For information on downgrading iOS 10, follow our how to uninstall iOS 10 and downgrade to iOS 9 guide.
iOS 10 uses lots of mobile data
If you've noticed that your mobile data allowance is quickly being used up after upgrading to iOS 10, then the Wi-Fi Assist feature may be the culprit.
Wi-Fi Assist was introduced in iOS 9, and it enables your iPhone or cellular iPad to tell when your Wi-Fi connection is poor. If it is, then the device will automatically switch to your mobile data. While this means you can happily browse and download without experiencing any slow down or loss of connection, it can also mean that you're using up your monthly mobile data allowance without knowing it, and it seems like the feature is turned on by default with iOS 10.
To turn it off, go to Settings > Mobile and scroll to the bottom of the menu. There will be a switch next to 'Wi-Fi Assist', so make sure this is turned to 'Off'.
No iMessage notifications in iOS 10
If you've updated to iOS 10 and notice that you're no longer getting notifications when you receive an iMessage, check your notification settings by going to Settings > Notifications > Messages.
Make sure all the toggles next to each option are switched on, and that the selected alert style is 'Banner'.
iMessage effects aren't working in iOS 10
A new feature in iOS 10 is iMessage effects, which are full screen animations designed to make your iMessage chats more entertaining. These effects include fireworks, lasers, shooting starts and an invisible ink feature.
However, some iOS 10 users are reporting that they cannot see iMessage effects. If you can't see iMessage effects in iOS 10, the most likely cause of this is that you have the 'Reduce Motion' option turned on. While this option is useful for saving the battery life of your iPhone or iPad, or for minimising the effects of motion sickness when using your device when moving, it also prevents iMessage effects from appearing.
To turn it off, open Settings and go to General > Accessibility > Reduce Motion and turn the Reduce Motion setting to 'Off'.
Cannot delete apps in iOS 10
If you can't delete apps from your iPhone or iPad after upgrading to iOS 10 then you're not alone. Users are reporting that when trying to delete an app they just see a message saying "Waiting", and the usual X icon to delete the app doesn't appear.
To fix this problem first perform a hard reset of your iOS 10 device. Do this by pressing and holding the power button and the Home button at the same time for ten seconds until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, check to make sure you're not installing any apps in the background while you try to delete other apps. To do this open the App Store then tap on Updates > Purchased.
See if any of the apps have "Installing" next to them. If they are, put your device into Airplane mode, then tap on the apps to stop them. Next, turn off Airplane mode and download the apps one by one.
You may also need to try resetting all your settings. Open up the Settings app and select 'General'. Scroll down and select 'Reset' then 'Reset All Settings'.
Third party keyboard don't work in iOS 10
Many iOS 10 users are noticing that when using a third party keyboard, such as Swype or Bitmoji, the keyboard becomes unresponsive and crashes.
Most of the developers behind these keyboards know this is an issue and have released updates that have fixed compatibility with iOS 10, so the first thing you should do is check the App Store to see if there is an update waiting for your keyboard.
If there isn't you will have to disable the keyboard by going to Settings > General > Keyboards and tap on 'Edit'. Next, tap on the minus button, or swipe left, on the keyboard you want to remove.
Purchased ringtones have vanished in iOS 10
If you've bought and downloaded custom ringtones, you may not be able to find them if you've updated to iOS 10.
This is a problem that has happened in previous updates, and thankfully there's an easy way to get them back without having to purchase the ringtones all over again.
Simply plug your iPhone or iPad into your PC or Mac and launch iTunes. Click on your device in the top menu, and under where it says 'On My Device' click 'Tones'.
Now make sure the check box next to 'Sync Tones' is selected. and you'll be asked if you agree to removing and replacing your ringtones. Agree, and the sync process will start.
If that doesn't work, check out our guide on How to restore ringtones to iPhone for more methods.
Alarms are not working in iOS 10
There's nothing worse than an important alarm not going off, and sadly that's what some iOS 10 users are currently experiencing. If you've found that your alarms are either not going off at all, or they go off at the wrong time, then there's a straightforward solution.
Open up the Clock app and go to 'Alarms', where you usually set your alarms. Click the edit button at the top of the app, then delete all of your alarms. Close the app, then reopen it and add your alarms back in.
If that doesn't work you'll need to be a bit more ruthless. Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap on Reset All Settings. This will reset all your settings to default. It means everything you've configured will be set back to the way it was before you tinkered, which is annoying, but at least it means you can now reset your alarms and they will work again.
iPhone screen no longer works
If your device's screen no longer responds to touch inputs after updating to iOS 10, then unplug your iPhone or iPad and remove any case or screen protector. Clean your screen, then restart your device. If your device's screen still does not work, you can try adjust you 3D Touch settings.
To do this, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > 3D Touch. You can then adjust the sensitivity. If it still doesn't work, you may need to contact Apple Support.
Device gets hot when charging after iOS 10 update
If you've noticed that your iPhone or iPad has started to heat up when charging after being updating to iOS 10, don't panic.
Even though it doesn't look like it, iOS 10 may still be updating apps in the background immediately after the update, so when it's being charged it may run hotter than usual.
Give it time, and hopefully your iPhone or iPad will return to normal temperatures when charging.
Photo albums no longer sync in iOS 10
Some iPhone owners are reporting that when trying to sync photo albums from their Macs to their iPhones running iOS 10, the photos sync to the device, but their respective albums aren't showing.
So, while the photos are on the iPhone, they can be difficult to find, as they're no longer sorted in the albums they usually appear in.
One user on the Apple Support forum found that by opening a folder on their Mac called 'iPhone' they found lots of subfolders containing photos. Usually this folder and its subfolders get synced. To fix the problem, they added two new subfolders into the iPhone folder and tried to sync – and it worked, with all the albums then appearing as they should in iOS 10.
Playlists appear empty after updating to iOS 10
A common problem with iOS 10 involves songs in playlists created in iTunes not appearing on the iPhone.
This problem mainly involved Smart Playlists, and although they appear on phones, they now look empty.
To fix this problem plug in your iPhone and open iTunes. Select your device and uncheck all playlists to stop them syncing. Apply the changes, then check the boxes to sync the playlists and they should now appear on your iPhone after the sync process has finished.
Games run slow in iOS 10
If you find that graphically intensive games are now slow to open, and feel sluggish when played, then close down all of your open apps, then press and hold the power and home buttons for 10 seconds until the Apple logo appears.
This resets the device, which should sort out any problems. It's also worth making sure that you have the latest version of the game installed, as app makers may have released an update to make their apps and games work better with iOS 10.
Emails don't appear in iOS 10 Mail app
If you're using iOS 10 and you open up the Mail app, you may be greeted with a blank screen. A number of iOS 10 users are reporting this problem, and they all seem to have one thing in common: having an apostrophe in their email address.
It appears that a bug in iOS 10 is preventing the Mail app from showing these addresses. So, if you do have an email address with an apostrophe in it, you'll have to wait for a fix from Apple. In the meantime, if you have other email accounts you can make emails to those addresses appear by removing the mail account with the apostrophe from the Mail app. The other email addresses will now appear.
Many email accounts let you forward mail to another email address, so until a fix is released you could set emails that go to your email address with an apostrophe to be forwarded to another address. The process for this varies depending on the email provider, so visit the website of the company that supplies your email address for more information.
