How to fix the most common problems with Apple\u2019s iOS 10<\/h1>\n\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n

iOS 10.3, the latest software update from Apple is finally here. While each update introduces new features designed to improve your phone, new problems also seem to emerge at the same time. I had a look around for some tips and came across some handy information for fixing the most common iOS 10 problems. I found some information from these guys \u2013 CUSC Foneguard \u2013 they provide specialist insurance for Apple products, so go to them for your iphone insurance if you need any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So without further to do, here is how to fix the most common bugs and glitches, from poor battery life to slow-running software:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS 10.3 slow to update<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It seems like it takes forever to update, but there\u2019s a good reason for this. Apple has revamped its filing system (APFS) which is now optimised for flash and SSD storage. There shouldn\u2019t be any problems other than the long wait times, but it\u2019s always a good idea to back up your data just in case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Older iPhones can\u2019t update to iOS 10.3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

iOS 10 is only compatible with models produced after the iPhone 5. Unfortunately, this means that if you have an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S, then your device is only equipped to handle iOS 9.3.5. This is usually a gentle nudge from Apple as an incentive for upgrading your smartphone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to preserve battery life<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An iOS update means more features to play with, but also quickly drains your precious battery life. Here\u2019s some tips and tricks to try and resolve the problem:
\u2022 Control which apps are continually running in the background through Settings > General > Background App Refresh.
\u2022 Turn off Fitness Tracking and other non-essential apps through Settings > Privacy > Motion and Fitness.
\u2022 Switch off your Wi-Fi when you\u2019re out and about to prevent your phone constant searching for Wi-Fi networks you can\u2019t join. Just remember to switch it back on when you\u2019re at home or in the office.
\u2022 Screen brightness is one of the biggest causes of a drained battery. You can prevent this by lowering the screen brightness and refrain from checking your notifications or the time if possible.
\u2022 Regularly check Settings > Battery to see which apps require the most processing power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wi-fi and Bluetooth issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This seems to be a long-running issue with Apple, but luckily you can kill two birds with one stone by simply resetting your network settings \u2013 Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. Please not that it\u2019s not \u2018Reset All Settings\u2019 or \u2018Erase All Content\u2019, so take care to avoid selecting these options by mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS 10 crashes when sending messages<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If your iPhone crashes or becomes unresponsive when sending messages, restarting your device will usually solve the problem. You can also try:
\u2022 Resetting your network settings through Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
\u2022 Resetting your device through Settings > General >Reset > Reset All Settings<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iOS 10 home button<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Slide to unlock\u2019 has been removed from the lock screen in the latest iOS update, which means you can only unlock your phone with the Touch ID fingerprint sensor. Luckily, if you\u2019re not a fan of this change you can bring back \u2018Slide to unlock\u2019 through Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button > Reset Finger to Open.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sleep\/wake button doesn\u2019t work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, the sleep\/wake button stops working after updating to iOS 10. Restarting your device will fix the problem in most cases, but if this isn\u2019t working, a try using a hard reset. This is done by holding the sleep\/wake button and the home button together until the Apple logo appears on the screen. On the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, you need to hold the \u2018volume down\u2019 button rather than the home button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

iPhone stops vibrating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Some users have reported that their iPhone no longer vibrate after the iOS update. A hard reset may fix the problem, but if this doesn\u2019t work you may need to factory reset your iPhone. It\u2019s critical to make sure you have backed up all your data before starting the process though.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mobile network connectivity problems<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you find that your reception has drastically reduced since updating your operating system, the first thing to do is to report this to your network provider, so that they are aware of the problem. If you need a faster solution, one option is to downgrade to a previous iOS, and then upgrade again via iTunes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
