Great. Now everyone can see my last opened apps, news feed and events if they swipe right on my phone. How's this not a bad idea privacy-wise?

If you want more privacy then why wouldn't you set up your iPhone not to show such info on the lock screen?
 
How can you not just configure the phone appropriate to your needs? It's a choice, and an easily made one.

Gee, and they couldn't do that in iOS 9? Oh, wait, they could, unless you turned it off.

I guess I missed Apple removing that toggle in iOS 10.

Oh, wait... they didn't.

Uuuuuuhhhhhh no, I have that off and I can still reply WhatsApp messages, ohh wait, yes, gee.
 
Oh wow!! Look at that speed!! It really makes the 6s fly! :D:D
However does anybody knows why the system sounds are so low (locking sound, keyboard typing effect, etc)?
I for one welcome the subtle clicks, the old ones used to sound awful at high volumes with headphones on.
 
How is iOS 10 on the iPhone 5? I'm dreading to update it as I want to use this phone for another 6 months or so until the next update for the SE (if any). I hope iOS 10 doesn't render it useless how iOS 7 crippled the iPhone 4 :confused:
 
I'm using an iPhone 6 running iOS10.0.1 and watchOS3.0. I'm missing some settings in the Watch App. There is no Breathe settings, no Workout View to change metrics nor Running Auto Pause in settings. Anyone else has this problem?
 
I vaguely recall there being some discussion around Apple introducing the ability to block ads natively (without an additional app). Am I remembering correctly? If so, has it happened in iOS 10?
 
Hey! Question for Reminders app users out there. After updating to iOS10, do you experience the issue, that you can't see items that are older than 1 year?

No, I have one in my Family reminders, which is from 2013 and it shows up in the app as well as in the widget. Now that I am writing this, I should maybe think of getting this done finally ;)

Other than having to double click the home button to unlock, it doesn't seem to be too bad. On the plus side, I went from having 12.5GB usable space to 13.18GB!! That's on a 16GB phone.

I'm going to skip this "update". My wife has installed iOS 10 on both her iPad and iPhone 6, and I am completely unhappy with it on either platform.

Neither of us use TouchID, so all the home button clicking shenanigans are unwanted. Slide to unlock was a nice way to gain access to the unlock screen, and was part of a very intuitive motion to go from the swipe to the unlock code. I was able to do it without looking at the screen. Now unlocking is turned into multiple separate movements that are just one more of those minor aggravations that add up over time, like those people ahead of me in traffic who drive with their foot on the brake. That constant flickering of the brake lights...

So, "click to unlock, a couple of times" gets -3 StevePoints for ruining the very first thing that a person encounters when using their shiny phone. First impressions were very big to him.

Its very apparent that the new Messages was designed for the skinny jeans crowd. Amongst all the confetti and balloons there isn't a single thing there to make it more efficient to communicate. At this point just about any technologically clueless TV show about government agents or police work has better fake text apps than this real one. Messages gets 1 StevePoint for "fun for the kiddies", but loses 7 StevePoints because it doesn't do anything better and its an insult to any adult who doesn't wear a fedora while eating a single serving yogurt and spinning around on a swivel chair in a commercial.

News is freaking terrifying. I clicked through the "Next" buttons on my lady's News app to see how the new "pick your favorites" screen looked compared to the previous one in iOS 9. On my 6S I skipped News because not one of the magazines presented interested me, and also because, well, its data mining designed to build psychological profiles on News users.
On her phone, it already had three favorites picked out and presented a Newspaper full of headlines for her. I asked her if she'd ever set up any favorites and she said she'd never even opened the app. So how did it get the favorites? I suspect it either mined her email or her web browsing habits. Since she just installed the update a day and a half ago, either this thing mined really quick, or else they've been building this for some time and it wasn't related to the update. I don't know where this stands on the SteveScale, honestly. He would have approved of tight integration that anticipated people's needs, but he really detested things that compromised privacy. Zero StevePoints.

That lock screen and the data on it... wow what a mess that is. My previous dealings with any Apple Preferences meant that simply relaxing and thinking about where I would put a particular preference if I was designing the product usually meant that I would find that particular control very quickly. Not this time.
I wanted to delete everything from her notifications except the weather, and ten minutes of angry searching later I still hadn't found it. I finally noticed the "edit" button standing right out on the screen. Who puts an edit button for any application preferences on the main screen for an app? Its like building a house and putting the studs outside the drywall instead of behind it. That is bad UI, and there is no defending it. That gets -3 points for visual clutter and -4 points for breach of UI common sense.

I gave up after that, because thats all I had stomach for. Especially after I did my usual search through all the settings to find out about "accidental" privacy breaches, and found Location Services turned on. I know that I'm probably fooling myself for even thinking turning that off means anything, but they could have at least left me with that small comfort of an illusion.

Hey, thank you for replying! So it looks like you mean reminders that are not done. I am having reminders back from 2013 as well, but I am talking rather about reminders that are done, and now I can't see which were done more than 1 year ago.

Anyway, there is a dedicated topic for this question, if you are interested to discuss it further:

Music - where are my ratings and likes, where are the lyrics. (tap on cover) ?
[doublepost=1473848759][/doublepost]iOS10 Timer - still not possible cooking eggs o_O (still missing seconds ....)
Lyrics gone on iPhone after iOS10?… resolved go to info on 1st track in your iTunes library, just put a line in beginning… just press enter on every track so lyrics drop down a line, go to next within info pane and do about 20 and sync your phone…lyrics come back…have custom lyrics ticked as well.

Let's see.. iMessages were perfect, they were the most important feature keeping me with an iPhone.
Now it's just pure cr@p for a 5-year old.
Maps - never use them. No slide to open my phone - why? Just to mess up with something everyone likes?
Haven't noticed any other "changes"...

I am with you. I just downloaded it this morning and am now desperate to find a way to get rid of it. All that clutter and childish crap on message is just awful1
