Sep 21, 2016 9:37 AM in response to 30e85by DaMac78,Exact same Problem here. This is actually the only entry I have found via Google concerning this bug. I have seen the issue on 2 iPhones which have been updated from iOS9 to 10. iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s.
I also have removed the Home-App and do not have Keychain enabled.
Strangely I have also seen this option being disabled without a problem on another iPhone 6.
Anybody know a solution? Besides having to restore the entire phone I mean...

Sep 27, 2016 3:33 PM in response to duelist374by visionaut,Sorry for the delayed reply. I did not have iCloud Keychain on when I had my issues...
To get the Home Control switch to work right, I just had to open the Home app and enable "iCloud for Home", then the Home Control entry under the 'Allow Access When Locked' section of TouchID & Passcode settings will actually work correctly (setting the switch off is no longer wonky, and it stays the way it's been set).
Odd UI behavior, for sure. Seems to me the 'Home Control' switch there should have been either not shown or greyed-out until Home app/HomeKit was enabled, or it should have defaulted to Off not On...

Sep 30, 2016 12:40 PM in response to visionautby clover4,In order to disable calendar and other widgets view while iPhone is locked, go to:
1) Home app
2) Tap on "Turn On iCloud Keychain
3) When you get to iCloud Keychain screen, just tap on "<iCloud" without having to actually turn it on (unless you do use it)
4) Scroll down to Home and turn it off.

Sep 30, 2016 1:10 PM in response to clover4by clover4,Just wanted to add to my above response. I discovered that you don't need to do that. It is inaccessible when you swipe to the left UNLESS you use one of the fingerprints registered with Touch ID to unlock your phone. If you use any unregistered finger (sounds a bit funny here), you wouldn't be able to access by swiping left. Just try it. If that's the case, no one else would be able to see your calendar or other widgets when swiping left as well.
