    Have you tried a restart of the device or a force restart?

    I Cannot delete apps from iPad Air 2 after updating to iOS 10. Tried to delete using iCloud but that didn't work either.

    Hi. The OP in this thread alluded to the alternate method of deleting an app. Have you tried it? It's described below. If you're having a problem with an app, you should post a separate question for it. But first, check the you've authorized access to Photos from the app.

     

    There's another way to delete an app that may work when the shaking mode does not. Go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud  Usage > STORAGE Manage Storage. Note that this is the first Manage Storage. Wait for the list to populate and tap on the entry for the app. It should offer a Delete App button which may work.

    HHaving the same issues. Started with wifi issues and not being able to download or update apps, tried forced restart, no luck.

    Had to do a complete reset and re download of 10.0.2 via iTunes and that solved the wifi and download/update issues, however some of my apps were not able to see for example, my pictures, only way to get access was to remove the apps and reinstall.

     

    and that's where my still probmatical working stalls. I get the shivering apps and the delete x but it doesn't work.

     

    only way is back to iTunes

     

    so, my issues with iOS 10 point me to a belief that the on air update is possibly corrupt and the by USB iTunes is the only way to bake the iPad stable, but still issues exist.

     

    this by far is the worst iOS version I can recall

    I think there are two problems somehow linked together. I experienced both:

     

    1. Inability to delete apps even thought the icons were wiggling with the x shown

    2. Auto-lock would not operate despite the proper settings

     

    The fix provided by another poster:

     

    Turn passcode off, reboot, then turn passcode back on without deleting fingerprints. You need to enter a new passcode (the original passcode is OK). Then everything worked (1) and (2) above.

     

    It's hard to imagine what bug would cause this!

    IInteresting tip.

    however in settings, Touch ID and passcode, turn off passcode is greyed out

    Could mean you didn't set up a passcode. Try setting one up. Reboot. Then turn off the passcode etc.

    No, I have a passcode set up (I actually need it to get to the passcode settings) and a Touch ID, however another issue keeps turning up.

    ON the Touch ID I had all three usages set to on.ipad unlock, Apple Pay and iTunes. Now the iTunes us turned off. Switch it on, go away from the settings, go back to settings and it's off again.

     

    looks like another full reset is on the cards grrr..

     

    i am really disappointed with iOS 10 to get honest, never ever had this amount of problems with either other iOS or even windows!
