Sorry. I meant the same behaviour. Not needing to actually press the Home button. The behaviour changed in iOS 10 and people complained that you needed to actually press the Home button to unlock. Apple listened and gave us this option. It's new to iOS 10.
Weird, because when my 6s is locked on 9.3.3, I placed my finger on the button/Touch ID, and nothing happened (i.e., it didn't unlock). The screen was turned off. Are you saying the screen needs to be on (on the lock screen) then I just place my finger on and it'll unlock? If so, that's how it worked on the 5s, too.
Right, you first have to press the home button (or the lock button) to turn on the screen (or a notification needs to come on to turn it on) and then just rest the finger on the home button to unlock. It's like that on 5s and 6 and 6s phones too, just wasn't like that in earlier iOS 10 betas.
I have not had a major issue with a beta since I got in the program at 8 or 8.1. There have been minor things and "undocumented features", but nothing that caused me to lose data or drop calls that I would have been able to make before.
I had the video issue as well. Also, apps wiggling when I click on one, and camera app showing open (and I haven't used it) when I swipe to close apps.
I really hope this beta fixes the Pokemon Go camera issue.
Well, that, and the odd bit where turning the phone on landscape sometimes makes only the left half of the video visible in general.
ADDENDUM: Sierra PB2 is live now too! I'm sure it will show up on another post but it just popped for me on App Store. 667MB download.
Yes. The screen needs to be on. Sorry. Confusion. People like how it was in iOS 9. Press the Home button, leave your finger on the sensor and it'd unlock. In iOS 10, they changed it. Even if the screen was on and you applied your finger, it wouldn't unlock, you'd need to press the Home button. So Apple added the new option, "Rest Finger to Open".
Anyone having any charging problems using 3rd party MFI Lightning cables when connected to their computers? Specifically, the problem I am having is that when I connect a Paracable Lightning cable to my PC and my iPhone (iOS 10 PB3), the iPhone transfers data just fine between the two devices, but charging doesn't work at all. However, when the Paracable is connected to a USB charger, it charges just fine.
This obviously doesn't happen when I was running iOS 9.3.2/9.3.3 Public Beta....

I've tried the "new default" for two weeks, and absolutely despise it. So I for one welcome the opportunity to return to what's worked well for 3 years.
Oh! I completely get it now. Dumb move for sure, hopefully Apple will make the (current in iOS 9) finger on unlock the default option. Otherwise, people will be confused.
is it just me or is anyone having issues connecting? I can't get past the loading screen. I tried restarting the phone to see if it's the phone. But same thing, still not connecting (stuck on loading). I'm guessing it's a server issues.
It's not the default option. You have to enable it! But at least they added it back in. With the Raise to Wake feature as well, you don't even need to hit any button to wake the phone. Simply raise the phone, apply your finger and it unlocks!
I've done every public beta since they started with each new generation of iPhones and today I had my first failed update causing me to do a full restore to 9.3.3. Not impressed. 
The function of the home button and Touch ID on the lock screen.
Do you have iOS 10 installed on any of your devices?
I've noticed this with an older Bluetooth speaker, on Spotify, but not with my Fugoo. Podcast plays fine on my BT headphones.
Apple today released the second public beta of iOS 10 to public beta testers, two weeks after releasing the first iOS 10 public beta and just a few days after seeding the third developer beta of iOS 10.
Beta testers who have signed up for Apple's beta testing program will receive the iOS 10 beta update over-the-air after installing the proper certificate on their iOS device.
Those who want to be a part of Apple's beta testing program can sign up to participate through the beta testing website, which gives users access to both iOS and OS X betas. The video below will walk you through the necessary steps for installing the iOS 10 beta to give the new features a try. Betas are not stable and include many bugs, so they should be installed on a secondary device.
The second public beta of iOS 10 and the third developer beta of iOS 10 are likely identical, and in the developer beta, Apple introduced a new keyboard sound, an Accessibility option for using iOS 9-style Touch ID, haptic feedback when locking an iPhone, improved Quick Actions for sharing apps, and more.
iOS 10 includes a number of new features and design tweaks, like a new Lock screen experience, a revamped Messages app with background animations, bubble effects, Digital Touch, a full App Store and more, and a Photos app with impressive facial and object recognition capabilities.Subscribe to the MacRumors YouTube channel for more videos.
There's a new Home app, and apps like Maps and Apple Music have been redesigned, plus there are hundreds of smaller tweaks and changes in the operating system, which we cover extensively in our iOS 10 roundup.
iOS 10 is available to developers and public beta testers at the current time, with a public release planned for the fall.

You're clearly on a 6s series phone--it really just feels broken on my 6. The response time to read the fingerprint on my 6 is sufficiently slow that I never had a problem accidentally unlocking the phone if I just wanted to see what was on the lock screen. Now I press the button and it takes long enough to scan my fingerprint that there's a noticeable delay before I can press the home button to go to my springboard.
That said, I may try to get used to this behaviour because I'll have a faster phone eventually...
I've got a 6s and the lock screen was a disaster in the first public beta even with 3D Touch available for notifications. I was thrilled when I heard they added the option back in to return to the iOS 9 press to unlock Touch ID functionality with the home button.
When the new public beta was released I installed it immediately and I love it. If I want to see notifications on the lock screen after they've come in and the screen has gone dark again I can press the button on the right side of the device. If I want to unlock it I can press the home button once and get right through to the home screen.
If you value your privacy and limit unlocked notifications returning to iOS 9 style press to unlock with the home button makes perfect sense. Who the hell wants to press it twice to unlock the phone under that scenario? Further, the new functionality was buggy as hell. Press the home button lightly and I had to press twice to unlock it, press it and hold it in too long and it activated Siri but if I pressed it just right in between a light press and a longer press it would go through Touch ID and unlock the phone. Having to look down to see which of those three behaviors had happened was a PITA and eliminated the whole point of using Touch ID to unlock the device!
If Apple wouldn't have added this option back in I would have reverted to iOS 9 and wouldn't upgrade. As such the 6s would've been my last iPhone.
Typing with the keyboard is still a bit stuttery. Here's hoping that get fixed in the final release.
Since there are more things to do on the home screen, many that might take you into the phone being able to unlock the phone without leaving the home screen is probably intentional. Now you can interact with the notifications and widgets and reliably go into the phone because its already unlocked. And to train us for when there is no physical home button at all and a screen touch for unlock and 3d touch for leaving the home screen becomes the norm.

and annoyingly you can’t uninstall it and reinstall to stop the Touch ID login which seems to be the issue. I’ve tried several ways of deleting the app (screen, storage menu, hard resets afterwards etc.) but it still has all the old data even the number of pending messages badge.
Not doing a clean install just for this app but it does show that a storage delete really doesn’t delete the app and all its data.
