Q: ios 10 problem in finishing setting up icloud

After updating to ios 10, the following are the problems,

1. Still showing 1 pending item in followup list, which says "finish setting up icloud". But after entering the icloud password and 6 digit code, the page gets struck. Tried so many times, but still shows as 1 pending follow up item.

2. "Memories" option in "photos library" is not working. Always it keeps on scanning, and never finishes scanning.

iPhone 6s, iOS 10

    Resetting the phone does not work. Still shows as a Follow Up and Waiting for Approval.

    I had the same problem regarding "finish setting up icloud". I fussed around and the following worked for me:

     

    1. I was signed into icloud (after the upgrade, I was asked to sign-in to icloud), so I signed out. (Settings > icloud). When asked if I wanted to delete icloud items from my phone I said "yes" as I knew they would remain in icloud, plus I had saved an encrypted backup of my phone in iTunes before the upgrade.

    2. The settings screen still showed a "Follow up" for completing icloud. I tapped on that link.

    3. Instead of asking for my passcode, which it had done originally, I was prompted to enter my icloud credentials, which I did.

    4. Next I was asked to enter the password I use to log in to my MacBook Pro. (It seems like it's a type of two-step verification. The dialog box indicated that Apple doesn't have/know/save the actual password, so I'm figuring it's using a hash value to compare it to what it has--just a guess on my part.)

    5. I was then prompted to enter my phone's passcode. This time, after 5-10 seconds, the verification was complete and the follow up notice was gone.

    Thanks Luckyloup,

     

    I had the same issue and I saw your reply and this did the trick on my iPhone 7, now the Follow up is gone and no more red dot on the Settings app so annoying.
