Q: IOS 10 - unable to take "Screenshots"

Upgraded to IOS 10 on both iPhone 6 and iPad mini 4. Unable to take "screenshot" on either device. Using old method, takes me back to homepage. Can't find answer from Apple yet? Any ideas?

    Try holding the sleep button and then tap the home button. Do it sort of quickly so that you don't put the device to sleep by holding the sleep button too long.

     

    IT is working fine for me as you can see here.

    I have the same problem, and find this https://www.tapsmart.com/tips-and-tricks/guide-how-to-take-a-screenshot-ios-10/

     

    in one word, press home button and on/off button the same time.

     

    if still not working, use the accessitive button by pressing the home button 3 times.

    The old method still works for me. A quick up and down on the home and sleep buttons

    Old way still works for me. Have you updated to 10.0.1?

    The OP original post stated that the devices were updated to iOS 10.

    We have been wondering about IOS 10.0.1. Have you seen an article that IOS 10.0.1 was a hurried update ? Thank you.

    Is it possible for Apple to "PUSH" an update onto your iPad?

    remember you are now running a whole NEW iOS version that has some pretty major stuff in it

    10.0.1 was prepared before the public release, so the issues that were addressed with it were being dealt with before the public release - Download iOS 10.0 - 10.0.1 Information

    To clarify... No one got 10.0.0 as a public release yesterday = everyone got 10.0.1 ?

    The only reference to "10.0.1" in your linked article is IN the title

     

    NBC Nightly News w/ Lester Holt reported last evening that the "bricking" of a "small percentage"(Apple's words) of iPhones had been fixed with an upDate - REPORT at about 17:45 CDT-US in the newscast as I recall

    Uncle Tim said " 1,000,000,000 " (in BIG numbers on the BIG screen) iPhones now sold on the event = 1% (small percentage) is 10 Million! = not chicken feed!

    Yes, sorry if that was not clear.  The 10.0.1 GM beta was seeded around Sept. 7th or so (I don't remember exactly - news sites that report and track the beta releases will have it recorded).  So the public release was 10.0.1, not 10.0.

     

    From what I read, the issues with OTA updates had to do with the parsing of the update files - note that the OTA update is a device specific install bundle, while the iTunes update is always the full release installer.  But reports are that the issue was not with the public release per se, but with some OTA implementations of the public release?  I have not seen details though of what was going on, or what experts think was going on.

     

    For myself, my iPad Air2 already had the beta GM.  My iPhone 6 updated fine with the OTA update.  My iPad Pro went into recovery mode with the OTA update, but updating (again) in iTunes was all it took to get it right back and running fine (nothing lost, nothing needed to be restored).  Other than the 35-45 minute download in iTunes it was not a problem, just annoying.

    While I have your attention...

    Terms are important to me - maybe too much so for some folks.

    Would not a move to iOS 10 be considered an upGRADE rather than an upDATE?

    When I (and everyone I knew) versioned my/our software, the "middle" number was a major upDATE and the last number was a minor upDATE
