You're not alone if you're experiencing iOS 10.0.2 problems, as the iPhone and iPad update has run into a number of issues, and if you've encountered any, don't panic as there are many ways to fix them.


From poor battery life, to spotty Bluetooth connectivity, to iPhones and iPads bricking when trying to update, here's our all-encompassing guide to solving your iOS 10 problems.


iOS 10 Problems: Here's How to Fix the Most Common Issues


1. iOS 10 battery life drain

iOS 10.1 will likely address battery life drain, but until that happens, here's what we found works to increase the uptime of our iPhone and iPad.Turn off background app refresh in Settings > General > Background App Refresh. It'll give you a list of apps, and you don't really need a lot of these to constantly update in the background. It's a big battery life killer.


Turn off Fitness Tracking and non-essential apps tucked away in Settings > Privacy > Motion & Fitness.

Turn Wi-Fi on and off at the right times.


Keep that brightness slider in check. Display brightness is the #1 battery life killer, so stop lighting up your phone every two minutes just to check the time.


Keep track which apps are draining your battery life the most. Now every app is tuned to the iOS 10 update and could be wasting precious battery.


2. iOS 10 bricking phones

While the beta went well for us, the final launch of iOS 10 has bricked a number of iPhones and iPads. That's disheartening for Apple fans after a solid three-month beta.


The solution here is a simple one, by using 3uTools and iTunes have had success in restoring afflicted Apple devices. Time to resort to a Mac or PC.


With the news of iOS 10 bricking iPhones and iPads around the world, now is a good time to mention that you should always back up your devices before updating.


3. iOS 10 Wi-Fi and Bluetooth issues

This problem creeps up every year, and sadly it's no different with iOS 10. Even after Apple released iOS 10.0.2m people are still experiencing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems.


Here's what we've done to resolve both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth problems in one fell swoop: Go to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. It's the third option down, and you'll want to avoid Reset All Settings and Erase All Content and Settings.


By selecting Reset Network Settings you'll keep your data intact, but your wireless connects will be back to their default settings. That usually solves our issues.


4. How to stop Messages installing other apps

A new feature of iOS 10 allows apps to install themselves via the iMessages App Store. These extensions can make using the Messages app easier, as you can quickly check out third party apps from within Messages, but it can also make the app more complicated to use.


To stop iMessage extensions from automatically installing, open up the Messages app and tap on the arrow icon, then 'Apps'.Next, tap the four circles icon in the bottom-left of the screen, then select the Store icon. Tap Manage then toggle the switch next to 'Automatically Add Apps' to off.


5. iOS 10 crashes when sending messages

If your iPhone or iPad running iOS 10 crashes - or the screen becomes unresponsive - when sending messages, then try these methods to fix the problem.First reboot your iPhone or iPad to see if that fixes the problem. If not you may need to delete the conversation thread if a particular conversation is causing iOS 10 to crash.To do this, open up the Messages app, then tap and hold on any sent or received messages in the conversation.


From the menu that appears, tap More then tap on the Trash icon. At the top of the screen tap Delete All- this will erase all the messages in the conversation, so if any contain important information, make a note of them.


If messages are still not sending, open up Settings, then go to General > Reset and tap on Reset Network Settings. If that doesn't work, then you may need to reset your device. Open up Settings, then tap on 'General'. Scroll down to Reset then tap on Reset All Settings, then tap it again to confirm.


6. iOS 10 home button problem

iOS 10 changes the home button functionality now that 'Slide to Unlock' is no more. Is that too much work for you? Here's a quick fix in case you want to go back to the old way of unlocking your phone.


It's super-buried in iOS 10's settings. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Home Button (midway down the page) and turn on 'Rest Finger to Open'.This will enable you to open your iPhone or iPad with Touch ID, without having to press the home button any more.


7. iPhone stops vibrating after updating to iOS 10

Some people have noticed that their iPhones no longer vibrate in iOS 10 when they receive messages. To fix this, first try restarting the iPhone by pressing and holding the sleep button and the Home button for around 10 seconds.The iPhone will restart and the Apple logo will appear. If this doesn't work, then you may need to factory reset your iPhone. Before doing this, make sure you back up all your files and settings, as performing a reset will clear all of your data from the device.


8. Touch ID stops working in iOS 10

If Touch ID has stopped working, and you can't configure it after upgrading to iOS 10, then try the following:


Go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and enter your passcode. Turn off iTunes & App Store, then reboot your device. Go back to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and turn on iTunes & App Store.


You may need to remove and then rescan your fingerprints. To do this go to Settings > Touch ID & Passcode and scroll down to the list of fingerprints. Tap on the fingerprint you want to delete, then select Delete and restart your device. Once your iPhone or iPad restarts, go back into settings and add your fingerprint. Touch ID should now work.


9. iOS 10 uses lots of mobile data

If you've noticed that your mobile data allowance is quickly being used up after upgrading to iOS 10, then the Wi-Fi Assist feature may be the culprit.


Wi-Fi Assist was introduced in iOS 9, and it enables your iPhone or cellular iPad to tell when your Wi-Fi connection is poor. If it is, then the device will automatically switch to your mobile data. While this means you can happily browse and download without experiencing any slow down or loss of connection, it can also mean that you're using up your monthly mobile data allowance without knowing it, and it seems like the feature is turned on by default with iOS 10.


To turn it off, go to Settings > Mobile and scroll to the bottom of the menu. There will be a switch next to Wi-Fi Assist, so make sure this is turned to Off.


10.iPhone screen no longer works

If your device's screen no longer responds to touch inputs after updating to iOS 10, then unplug your iPhone or iPad and remove any case or screen protector. Clean your screen, then restart your device. If your device's screen still does not work, you can try adjust you 3D Touch settings.


To do this, go to Settings > General > Accessibility > 3D Touch. You can then adjust the sensitivity. If it still doesn't work, you may need to contact Apple Support.
