I guess it's one of these things?
1. You're not doing it correctly (I doubt it).
2. All the iOSs on all your devices are corrupt in exactly the same way.
3. There is some common element that appears on ALL your devices that's causing the problem. A common app or setting perhaps?
4. You set up from a back up on all your devices and not as a clean install.
I'm guessing it's either 3 or 4. but it could be something else???
Edit: Have all your devices been powered off and then on again after updating the iOS?

So I know the issue was there in iOS 9.0 for my other devices. But I just checked again, since I hadn't bothered since 9.1 on my 6s Plus. None of the rest of the devices have this issue now except my 6s Plus.
*sigh*
Yeah... I have a feeling unless I completely reinstall from scratch and lose everything, including my Apple Watch data etc, I'll be stuck with this issue forever. Oh well.. sucks to be me, I guess!
Not sure if it was mentioned but the news app appeared on my iPhone 6s Plus here in Canada after I downloaded 9.2. I also downloaded 9.2 on my iPad Air and it also has the news app.
I don't believe I saw any Canadian specific news agencies but I chose a bunch I know that are U.S or world news and it works.
(If I go to search and type anything it says search is temporarily unavailable check your network)
No signs in the settings or anything of Apple Pay in 9.2 for Canada quite yet.
And yes in settings my region is set to Canada
Did a test restart and yeeeep its gone. If I search my phone it appears and when I tap it just stays "pressed" but doesn't open

Try a reset all settings first. That fixes a lot of strange issues and leaves your apps and data intact. Worth a try before a restore and it fast to do. Just run back through your settings u want and of course add back any wifi networks.
Oh really? I don't think I had any more trouble than usual with those, but one release that's sticking out like a sore thumb to me was 4.0. I don't remember if I'm thinking of the final cut or the developer beta, but I do remember frustrating large bugs in that one. I think that was 2010 maybe?
It worked. It has NEVER worked in the past to reset all settings and have this work, but this time it did. Craziness! Cheers for suggesting it again, despite my instant dismissal and doing it grudgingly.

But It appears that sometimes an album purchased from iTunes Store still shows download icon, although all songs in that album are all available offline.
PS: NOT Apple Music user.
i installed the 9.2 beta on my 6s plus and they fix chappy animation and stuttering ...
I’m British. ‘Programme’ is the original British spelling of that which in American spelling is rendered as ‘program’. I use the latter for software and the former for the more general case of a planned sequence of future events.
I would like to think after the three previous versions having the keyboard (no shortcuts) scroll bug has been resolved in this version ! Currently with no shortcuts on keypad enabled, going on to google search the page does not roll up and you get an obscured search box and cannot see suggestions.
Oh yeah.
Screen corruption when switching back and forth between audiobooks and an active Maps navigation.
Occasionally restarting books at chapter 1.
Lock screen controls intermittently not working.
Audiobooks being superseded by the Music app when getting in my car, even when the Audiobooks app is the current app open.
Thanks for the heads up, but I'll wait it out and watch people do actual video comparisons on YouTube before updating mine. I've started to lose faith in updates maintaining or improving the speed of my devices.
No need to wait. It's definitely a night/day difference from 9.1 on 6s Plus and Air 2.
I've noticed significant battery drain since updating to 9.2 this morning. I did the update at about 9:00 this morning and in about 4 hours, my phone has gone down 70%....this is abnormal for me. I usually still l have 80% left at this time of day not 25%....anyone else noticing bad battery performance?
I've only noticed a slight improvement in frame rates after updating my iPad Air to 9.2. The app switcher seems to be a bit faster and smoother than 9.1. But the spotlight animations somehow got even worse and look even more laggy than before. I noticed that in 9.1, swiping left from home screen to get access proactive was buttery smooth - but now in 9.2 it is consistently choppy each time I tried. What specific results are you seeing? And on which devices?
(Oh and they finally fixed the settings bug, hallelujah!)
The app icons in Siri app suggestions still lack better resolution.
P.S. My eyes are not crazy precise eagle eyes that can detect even the slight variation in frame rates. It's just when most of iOS is smoothly animated while some other areas are really choppy - that bothers me.
Obviously not updating my 6S+ to 9.2 PB, it's a beta so there will always be bugs.
You can tell battery life is insane within half an hour? Damn some people shouldn't be testers.
Yup, I have special equipment from *Apple* that predicts battery life based on a 15 minute test sample! A gift from Apple for being a developer!
Just thought I'd weigh in here, having worked in web for about 12 years now...
Chances are the site you're viewing doesn't have 'mobile' site, but a 'responsive' one.
Request desktop site doesn't help you when the viewport is being used as the method of rendering the site... It'll just request a non-M version. They should update it to send a mocked header with viewport info at 1080x1900 and that might make it more robust, but you'll always get some 'mobile' elements depending on the tools being used.
So... It's not that it doesn't work, it's that it doesn't really confirm to modern web standards.
Hope that helps
I cannot speak for the iPad Air. That felt like a fairly underpowered device, especially by comparison to the Air 2, which is night/day faster than the Air, especially when it comes to those sort of frame-rates when multitasking.
