My 5 is crashing whenever I try to open Messages.
Hangs on a blank screen for about 20 seconds then kicks me back to home.
Edit. Must have been the indexing stuff people were talking about in thread. After the fifth time I tried it started working.

I just left the phone alone next to my watch. I suppose it took around 2 hrs from start of download to full use of my watch.
Doesn't actually delete it though it just hides the icon.

Yeah but if they're just being hidden then why not let those ones be hidden? Health especially. I will probably never use that. It's a niche feature. So why make it impossible to hide? Even if you hide it, it's not like the APIs it might have will also be removed. I dont see any reason it can't be hidden. Same with Wallet.
You'll get used to it immediately. I did. I haven't accidentally tried to swipe since day 2.

It's pretty good. What does Yelp integration do though? Doesn't maps already include Yelp info?

I don't see anything? :/
Also, I don't get why the yelp and IMDb apps aren't working for me in iMessage. I want to see what they do.

Is it possible to remove the photo associated with a contact within a text message chat? I was able to remove the photos that display to the left of each contact when you open the Messages app, but I'm talking about the picture that displays on the top once you go into an individual message. I can't find how to remove the photo there.
Also, this update is surprisingly laggy on my 6s+, it's really annoying. It's been nine hours so it should be done indexing or whatever. And I *hate* how notifications are on two separate tabs and I hate how big they are. I also hate how they're white and difficult to read. Can any of these things be changed?

I had to update some apps to get them to work.
Push and hold on the globe/emoji button and it gives you the option.Did Apple remove the ability to hide the predictive text bar for the keyboard? Why? I never used it
Harder? Works better for me then, I sometimes turned that off by mistake and thought it was useful.
Here's a secret: You're not going to get any free space out of deleting stock apps from the home screen. The app doesn't get deleted from storage, it just stops it from clogging up the home screen.
Ok, I just tried enlarging the font and what I posted only happens if you have the book set to the smallest font size available (some ebooks don't even have fonts that small). If it's even 1 point above the smallest size, it gets back on the normal page behavior.
Crisis averted! I feel stupid for not trying that before, but I'm also relieved.

I love you. My phone since the update is not capable of making phone calls and my messenger will not open. Cannot open any settings in the menu. Soon as I get home I'm reinstalling everything :|
Also has anyone figured out how to open the phone with just your thumb? It uses your print but still requires a home button press. Very annoying.
You can put them anywhere on or above the most recent message, including other stickers, but not below that.
Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button > Rest Finger to Open.

Really not liking this interface. I'm using an iPhone 5. Don't like the fact that I have to slowly double click the home button to unlock phone. For the notification center, I much preferred to swipe down to quickly access widgets instead of swiping down then left. Also, what's with swiping left and right in control center to switch between music and settings? I preferred it when it was condensed into one panel. In terms of design, I don't like the flatness of everything, iOS9 had some nice fades and transitions that seem to be missing in iOS10 . My initial impressions is that this is a huge downgrade in terms of UI.
Edit: Just opened Music App. This is terrible. Everything is oversized. The downloaded button overlaps with the "..." button. Seriously Apple?

Reduce motion was off so that wasn't it. But surprisingly, just turning off iMessages and turning it back on did work.
Mine took a really long time.

Running on my mum's phone for two days now. Subjectively seems to be just as well as iOS 9. Very impressed.
The stuff you can't delete will be things Apple considers essential to the functioning of the phone and/or features they currently want to push in your face so you give it a go and maybe might like it.

Yeah, the Music app is getting further and further away from what I want as they lean harder and harder into Apple Music. Unsurprising that they continue to degrade the very concept of music ownership.
felt like my watch update took 6 hours
Any tricks for getting Split View / multitasking on iPad Pro for multiple apps (not multiple tabs in Safari)? I used to easily get this by swiping right to left from off the screen in iOS 9. Since the upgrade I haven't been able to get this to work, I get the little arrow to appear but I can't seem to pull another app in. Not sure if there's another gesture here or what.
Also, is there any way to have the iMessage text effects work without turning off Reduce Motion?

Did they removed the songs played history in Music app? I only see Up Next now. Damn you Apple!
Is there a way to make the phone unlock without clicking the home button? Like before you could just have your fingerprint touch without actually clicking the button.
Thank you!!
Thank you!!
Mine was doing that too. And was freezing when trying to get into existing group texts. I reset my phone and it's fine now.

Surprised it is taking so long for Watch updates. Mine took maybe 20-25 minutes total. It is worth the wait though. Apple Watch is much snappier and easier to use.
It's good enough for me.

This is more about the new itunes but do the artist images you upload here actually stay in the metadata? And transfer to the iPhone?
watchOS 3 is a revelation

I love my Apple Watch but fucking hell do I dread updating it, I need to set aside several hours of my day to sit there and babysit the damned thing.
How so? It doesn't require any user input.

I'm just about to leave for work, and wanted to update my Watch beforehand, but reading people having to take 6 hours put me off for now. I bet it'll take 20 minutes when I finally get to it.
you have to be careful to not walk away with your phone
6 hours? Haha, what.

took me about an hour and a half to upgrade my watch.
Give it time to scan your library.
