Phone to sensitive now? Turns on with a touch

[matt9013]

Ever since I updated to IOS 10 my 6s+ turns on with just me lifting it up/touching it. Is this a new feature and can I turn it off?

Not likely with a touch, but likely with lifting it as that relates to the "Raise to Wake" feature: http://www.howtogeek.com/263739/how-to-turn-off-raise-to-wake-in-ios-10/

I'm having a similar issue on my iPad Pro 9.7. Seems to go black every now and then just moving the screen. Strange.

New feature and you can turn that off in Settings - Display & Brightness - Raise to Wake. Slide it off.

It's only one of the highly advertised features. Not like anyone would know about it, then.

Settings > Display Brightness > Raise to Wake

I don't mind the new feature but I did turn back on the "rest finger to open" function, this way it's just like it was before only you get the raise to wake as well which I'm finding myself using more and more.

I did turn it off but still find it seems too sensitive and unlocks too easily. We'll see.
