Then perhaps the comments should be aimed at the article and not the update itself, given that that's where the "issue" might be for some.

Apple Releases Second iOS 10.2 Beta for Public Beta Testers
- Thread starter MacRumors

For some reason, with 10.2 beta 1 my camera won't load in the camera app or in snapchat. I have to restart my phone and then it works for a little.
oh good. More emojis.... Innovation where it counts.
OH good, Android TV is a failure (nobody making them anymore), and not even new emojis for Android users, and Nougat is only 0.3%.
Google AI will save us all!!!!!
Honestly, at what point does emoji stop being a headline feature? It's cute, has a cute name, but these symbols have been around for decades now. Besides, there are just too many of them and you spend all your time just hunting for one.
OK enough for now. Just get off my lawn kids! Gimme performance and not more cruft!

Whenever people stop focusing on them given that there are plenty of other things to focus on.
Hail Emoji
The 1 feature that works across all iDevices. Unrestricted, transparently, across all dongles.
Our Apple VP's LOVE it !!

I thought it was just my phone but there's a couple discussion threads on it in apple's communities
One annoying tidbit in 10.2, Apple is pushing Live Photos way too hard and it's getting obnoxious that it's turned on by default every time you launch the camera app. Once this update is pushed out to everyone I know there's going to be a lot of complaints about this.
Luckily you can turn that off in the camera settings (Photos & Camera > Preserve Settings > Live Photo). Nobody I know with an iPhone ever uses or takes live photos.

PLEASE READ - EMOJIS
We all like to rant, that's fine, but all this business about Apple adding new Emojis and not focusing on anything else (which is false anyway) is just stupid. I'd just like to put it out there as a lot of people don't understand.
Unicode are behind Emoji, not Apple. Apple are simply updating the Emoji to keep up with what's out there. Apple do the artwork and they obviously have a very high standard.
Stop complaining about Apple and their addiction to Emoji. There's no addiction, they're simply keeping up with the standard.

But the setting is there for those who don't want it enabled by default.

The reason it's on by default is because they've doubled the frame rate and they're obviously really happy with it. I hate to state the obvious but it's a photo and the fact that it's really smooth now (and looks like a mini video) is impressive.One annoying tidbit in 10.2, Apple is pushing Live Photos way too hard and it's getting obnoxious that it's turned on by default every time you launch the camera app. Once this update is pushed out to everyone I know there's going to be a lot of complaints about this.

Not for me.... I don't have the setting set (I don't have any of those providers available to me) and I have the TV app. It has my purchased movies and the like in it. It was in my Apple folder, with the old Video one moved to the last page, as others had happen.
Along with all the other things that are in iOS 10.2:

Ok, I'll bite. Broken how exactly?
I have 4 Exchange accounts, an iCloud account and an imap account and have zero issues. Just interested to see how it's unusable for you.
Just get a life, emojis have been updated, but more importantly the operating system is getting better. The UK version of iOS should have 25% of features removed to reflect the massive drop of the pound.
Yes I also experienced the "Live photos are on all the time even if you turn it off and quit out of the camera it comes back". Oy. Thanks for the tip!
I get that it's a cool nifty feature but I doubt everyone is constantly taking photos that require a few seconds of motion. Most people still use the camera for still photos and video for movement, not live photos that many non-iPhone friends we send to can't see anyway. People will take live photos and turn it on when they want to.
tldr- The option should stay off once we turn it off as it's always been before, not on by default every time we load the app requiring us to take an extra step to remember to click and turn it off. Several times now I've tried to take a still photo to capture a quick moment when I realize live photos is turned on and it's still capturing for a few seconds when I need to take several photos quickly. It shouldn't require everyone digging into settings to turn it off
