It could be because you're using a playlist yeah. Definitely works when just going through your library. Can you post screenshots?

Just tried again and it works IF you turn off repeat all songs... I'm 110% certain it worked with repeat all songs on iOS9 because I have that feature on 24/7 (repeat all & shuffle to be exact).
Really hope they patch this in or at least make a playlist auto restart once the last song has been played.

Yeah you're right, I used to do the same and see it is no more. Here's hoping 10.1 is around the corner to fix some of this stuff.
So far I think this sucks and that the last time iOS has actually improved with an update has been with 7. I'm probably just a grumbling Luddite, but the spacing of everything feels so cramped (like the picture at the top of an iMessage conversation). Music app is a mess, worse than the already bad version it was. And the removal of slide-to-unlock is going to take forever to get used to. Oh and control center split into two sub-menus: boneheaded decision.
Sometimes I wonder if the designers even use these phones.
Ok rant over, sorry.

Looks like it's not possible anymore to scroll within the message textfield in the Messages app? It used to have this kind of bouncy scrolling, didn't it?
Also, I just noticed that for some reason the setting for displaying names in the Messages app has been changed for me. It used to display the first letter of the first name plus the entire last name. Now it's the opposite.

You should be able to change that in Settings > Contacts > Short Name.
Is there any way to adjust the sensitivy of Voice Control/Siri?
Annoying as hell listening to music, and holding down the home button a millisecond too long and Voice control coming on and silencing the music. Ideally, I just want to turn both VC and Siri off entirely.

Can't you turn Siri off in the settings app?
Yes, but that just enables Voice Control and the problem stays the same.

I fell asleep early last night and my 'time to go to sleep' notification vibration woke me up half an hour later. Anyone know how to turn that off?

Just called an Uber by tapping my headset and saying "get me an uber". Fuck, this feels like the future. It's amazing how so much work needs to be done on in the background to actually make this possible, in terms of Uber's app, all the built in technologies and sensors inside he device, Siri's voice and context recognition, and the APIs that tie everything together.
that's the case for videos on Instagram too (non-full screen). I appreciate it.funnily, i think there has to be an API that would be able to suppress the volume icon.
If you watch a youtube video in full screen, the volume icon is replaced by a thin white bar at the top of the screen.

Wow..I'm really impressed with iOS 10 on the 5S. I was kinda skeptical upgrading it due to it being on a older phone. But I was wrong. Its really fast and smooth jumping from app to app. I noticed that it did free up a lot of space on the phone itself. Almost freed up 4 or 5 gbs.
First impressions of ios10 are that the changes they've made are ugly. Text notifications especially are too big and the white looks cheap.
Also, is there a way to not press home to open? So I can just scan my thumb and be brought straight to the home screen like before? Instead of having to press home again?

I have the same gripe as you, Apple Music is too big for my 5S. The name of Artist wraps now instead of being shrunk to the width of the screen. Kinda bothersome when you have the keyboard up and it covers the name of the artist.
Thank you, thank you.
its still sad how ipad was pretty much left out this year. You'd think apple being big in size and wealth, that they can afford to do substantial updates to the iphone and ipad OS every year and not just alternate.
like the 'focus' on notification works fine on iphone, but on my ipad pro, blurring out 90% of the screen just so i can read this little notification box better... wtf?
also why is everything ginormous on the lockscreen of my phone? from media player to the time,

Okay seriously I'm upset with this. I'm running an SE and it's so apparent that the OS was designed with bigger screens in mind. The size of the text is too big on the phone imo, and the lock screen is incredibly awkwardly spaced.

No swipe to unlock is annoying because the fingerprint sensor isn't perfect under certain conditions, so it takes extra time having to keep failing until the passcode option comes along. Hopefully Apple will change this!
Thank goodness Apple had the sense to allow fingerprint unlock by resting finger as before, instead of forcing us to click button first everytime.

Are they ever going to clean up the settings menu? The accessibility tab just seems to be where they dump settings they can't categorise - why is rest to unlock even there? Vibration doesn't seem to fit there either, as well as ambient noise cancelling. Even with the search function it's still really hard to find things...
You know you can search settings by pulling down the main list right?
Rest to unlock is in accessibility because it's a feature meant for people with motion impairments that make it difficult to press the home button, not just people who liked the old unlock method better. Just like reduce motion is there for people with motion sickness, not just people who hate the slow animations. And reduce transparency is there for people who have vision problems, not just people who hate the blurred backgrounds. And AssistiveTouch is for people who have trouble using physical buttons, not for people with broken home buttons. etc. etc.

Ok seriously, where the fuck has my last bit of storage gone? Before the update so averaged around 400mb of space. Then right after the update I had 600mb. Immediately after that though my used space kept growing over the course of 30 min until I only had 200mb left, without ever leaving the settings app. I literally didn't use a single other app. And now the rest of my space has disappeared for seemingly no reason. Throughout all of this the size hasn't increased for any of my apps, so so have no idea where it's going. And I just deleted a 53mb app and apparently still have "Zero KB" left, so what the fuck.

Well I fixed it but I had to restore my device. Not happy about that.
I still miss slide to unlock and I keep doing it every time.
Pull it like a roll-up curtain and it disappears as before. Pushing straight up no longer works.

They added split screen for Safari. That was sorely needed, IMO.
If you mean swiping up on a notification to dismiss it, it works exactly like it used to for me.
it's a good addition but still implemented in a weird way thats still a hacky solution to what I assume the final goal, which is multiple instances of the same app open.
You can't call something a laptop replacement if you can't do simple things like have 2 excel sheets or word docs open at the same time.

I disagree that it's a hacky solution, but yes, it would be nice to be implemented across all of their apps.
Who knows? That may be coming up in a later update, particularly if they want to keep pushing this "laptop replacement" line of thinking.
I had this happen about a week before iOS 10 released. Messages were coming to my watch and notifying me there even when I was using the phone.
Messages would come in to the phone but it didn't alert me like it was supposed to.
Turning my phone off and on again did the trick.
The text size was the first thing that hit me too after the update on my SE.
If you go to accessibility settings there's an option called "Larger Text" You can drag the slider down to adjust the text sizes.
Because most people probably use it at night before bed. They'll have the analytics.
should have 'dark mode' options for all apps.
I wonder if they will embrace the darkness more if they switch to AMOLED like rumors are saying.
So I've been an Android user since the beginning, never had an iPhone.
I currently have a Nexus 6p I bought straight from Google, and apparently I can get the 6S completely free on my verizon account right now, without changing my bill, so I was thinking of trying one out.
Huge mistake or nah?

6s or 6s plus?
The 6p is also larger screen, right? Would you be ok with going to a smaller one?
If you can get a 6S+, you might give it a shot, otherwise the 6S will feel like a tiny baby phone if you're used to a 6P.

As a designer, I REALLY appreciate all the design tweaks iOS10 has to offer, big and small, from the colors, to the spacing, animations, transitions, etc. It's clear they put a ton of thought and work into almost every aspect of this update, and really tightened and cleaned things up while adding a boatload of features and enhancements.
Ah, if you specifically want the 6S because it's smaller, then sure, go for it.

Depends on what you're used to. Going by your other content and wanting a smaller phone, the 6s is a good choice.
Operating system-wise it's a tougher sell as whole they're very similar now there's some key differences between them. Customizations on Android and a beautiful walled garden on the other.
double check your contract if it changes anything. Otherwise no reason not to. iOS has quite a few advantages over android, mostly in terms of things just working most of the time, while android has more 'quirks'.
The trade off is less options for 3rd party to integrate into the system although thats improving slowly every year. Also homescreen management is still complete garbage on iOS.
