I have not, when the freezes happen clicking does nothing so I can't get to Activity Monitor, and Cmd-Tab does nothing either
Weird.
On another note, is this a weird quirk in iOS 10? When only lock screen I ask Siri to locate a friend, it just comes up with "you'll need to unlock your iPhone first", and then prompts for the passcode. However it shouldn't be locked as such, because I have it set to only ask for passcode once every four hours.
I can access other Siri requests from the lock screen.

Of course location of a friend is locked behind a passcode, so no random goober can swipe your phone and track people
Yeah doing a bit of research suggest that kind of info is locked behind a passcode. I remember having find my friends on required a passcode for that reason I assume.
But I swear I could ask Siri before on the lock screen before. And on that note I swear I also saw maps on my find my friend widget. Now it just has text location.
Just odd they make the change to not allow now. Guess it was from those recent complaints about using Siri on lock screen to get to access to certain things.
I wouldce thought my phone is actually unlocked when I put passcode in and I have it set to 4 hours so it doesn't actualy lock again within that time but I guess lock screen is lock screen.

I hope I can turn it on later. I opted not to until I read up on it.

I'm not a big fan of the changes in the news app. They removed the like dislike etc bar at the bottom with the "next story" bar. It's a minor inconvenience and a petty complaint, but I preferred liking and saving stories without the additional button presses that are required now.
What do you mean? Wasn't 2fa already
Available?
I thought the update killed some of my music videos, but I then realised they just changed how they honoured the skip to shuffle flag. On my videos it is checked and prevents them from playing globally shuffling, but I could still go to that album to play with shuffle on.
Now it prevents them from playING at all when shuffle is on.
So I still have the bug after updating to 10.2 where apple music will not save how I arrange songs in a playlist. This means if I don't ADD songs in the order I want them to play, i'm out of luck. What the fuck?
I go to edit on a playlist, and I can drag songs around and re arrange. But as soon as I click done, it just reverts back to the order before I edited anything. Does anyone else have this problem? Is there some way I should reset my music app?

Where is the option for this?

I just got an iPhone SE. Is there anyway to easily download from other stores I am dying to get the Word Flow keyboard but it is not available in the UK store
You need to make an account for another store. An account that has an address from that region. It's doable, but whether you want to operate like that is another question. It means you'll need to log in to that account in the App Store to update it, plus also manage a second AppleID.
It doesn't always work either. I tried to download HBO Now using an account I set up with an American address but still detected I was outside the region. The whole process is a bit hit and miss.
2FA has been available as opt-in for years via Apple ID management on the web but it's now surfaced via the initial on-boarding process on the iOS device itself as part of 10.2 as well.
Thanks I have done that and it seems to have worked a treat. I switched back to my UK store profile thing and my phone just crashed to a black screen with a spinning circle stuck in the screen lol. Hopefully it will all work in harmony once it comes back to life!

...hate me...
You mean you couldn't download the app or the service didn't work outside the US?
Regardless of having installed an app or not, services can themselves be region locked or restricted, which is another issue entirely.

I just looked and contact photos are still showing up for me in Messages.
Mine have disappeared and the option to turn them off and on is gone. Still using an iPhone 5, so maybe they changed something.
Either way it's stupid. Now it's just a big ugly bold name that doesn't even match everything else.
Curious, are you using iCloud for Contacts or Google?

I wish they came in Black.
Naa, just locally stored. My friend's didn't change and she has an iPhone 6, so I think it's just something I'm gonna deal with until I upgrade. Sucks but eh
YES! Ordered!

My question has always been are these literally the same sound as EarPods except wireless? I ask because I want headphones with the W1, I already own the previous model Solo2 and don't want PowerBeats. So it comes down to either AirPods or BeatsX for me. Obviously no idea when BeatsX are going to be available.
Edit: I ordered a pair. I'll demo them at home and if I don't like them I'll return them. My delivery date is after Christmas though which means it slipped about a week in the past 5 minutes.
My order is set to be delivered on the 21st, so I feel lucky now.
Fucking hell, iOS 10.2 broke support for Fleksy, the best keyboard on iOS.
And sadly Fleksy is not supported anymore by their devs.
I really, really loved Fleksy. Super intuitive and functional, and it also supported a lot of languages.
Does anybody know of a good keyboard that supports Catalan, Spanish and English?
I've just downloaded Swiftkey, will try it later.
GBoard has Catalan support "coming soon".
Any other alternatives out there?

I assume that the orders set for delivery on the 29th will arrive a few days early like Apple always seems to do, but still not in time for Christmas. To tell you how fast they were selling (or how little supply Apple is going to have), when I started my order it was set to deliver the 21st, in the 10 seconds it took to checkout via Apple Pay it slipped to the 29th.
Also I said earlier that we'll have no idea when the Beats X are available, Apple has updated their website to say "coming February".

So the new TV app sounds cool in practice but it won't let me connect all my tv apps. It keeps giving me an error saying that it's unable to connect and I should check my internet connection. Clearly my internet is working as I am posting on my iPad. Anyone else have this issue? I tried restarting the iPad but same thing.
Aaaand Swiftkey stopped working with iOS 10.2.
Damn does the stock iOS keyboard suck.

Swiftykey will be pushing out an update as soon as possible, they're always been on the ball with these things.
I hope they do. They're my only alternative at this moment.
I noticed that too.
The notifications where not interactive until the animations had finished. I can't tell if they made the animations faster, or they made notifications interactive while animated. But it's a noticeable improvement.

The TV app is a mess. Needs some UI cleanup.
Why are my purchased movies listed vertically when viewing my entire collection but horizontally when viewing downloaded movies?
The Library section of the TV app should never have to "load" when the user opens it. It should open the previously cached instance of it and update after.
Just sloppy.

I just discovered this amazing app a few days ago:
http://next-episode.net/
https://itunes.apple.com/app/next-episode/id347009526?mt=8
It does everything that I wish the iOS TV app did and then some. Fantastic UI for marking all shows that you've watched and are interested in, and then it tracks which episodes you've watched, which you have yet to watch, recommendations for new shows, etc. etc.

I'm in the UK and don't have the TV app, but my Videos app had disappeared. I use it to keep a few reference videos around.
Good news is that it can be downloaded (probably reactivated is the correct word) from the App Store, link below, and the videos I had were still there. Phew!

In other news, TouchPal keyboard is still working. Slash keyboard too. Neither support Catalan.
