I Agree. A terrible upgrade. I miss the slide function to open, screenshots are difficult. No need for the momentary slide toe right function, so i have no items in there.

Apple if you go om like this i Will never buy A new iPhone.

ALso siërra installed on mac. Al kind of problems. I bought an expensive machine with el capitan and now I am stuck with this. Waste of money. So sad

I've had Apple for years. Very little issues with any upgrade till now. The screen freezes multiple times a day with rebooting is the worst. I slowed down the button speed to the slowest available response under General, Then Home. I made sure my volume was not on mute. Under the older iOS, you hit the on/off, then the home. Now you have to hit them simultaneously. Quick and fast. I hope you get help with your issues soon.

I have taken many screen shots from iOS 6 to iOS 9.3, but it does not work the same way in iOS 10.02. toy use to be ablue to press and hold the Sleep/Wake button then the Home button. Now you must press both simultaneously.


Page 391 of the iOS 10 iBooks Manual says the following.


“To capture what’s displayed on your screen, simultaneously press and release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons. The screenshot is added to the Photos tab in Photos, and you can also view it in the Screenshots album or All Photos album (if you’re using iCloud Photo Library).”

IOS 10.0.2 on my iPad Pro 12", a screenshot of any movie content played from the Videos app shows a black box where the image of the video should be. Same on my iPhone SE (updated to ios 10.0.2)

IOS 9.3.5 on my iPad 3rd gen does not have this black screenshot problem. Even with video-in-video, only the playing video is black, while the rest of the screen is captured just fine.


Screenshots of videos I make, played from the Photos app on any of the 3 devices does not have this problem.

I'm certainly sorry if my response of using the home button and power button made you feel as if you were being called a dimwit. That was certainly not my intent.


The method I relayed is what still works on my iPhone 6 with iOS 10. Sorry it does not work for you. But thank you for so kindly pointing out the "Assistive Touch" feature. On my phone is is Settings->General->Accessibility.


Perhaps if you would keep your device information up to date, we would know which phone you were having problems with.


Cheers, and bless your heart.
