iOS 10 Black Screen Spinning Wheel

I could repro without Outlook installed and this issue repros for me When using Facebook and other apps. I opened a ticket in the Outlook app, and they told me that they had contacted apple and can confirm apple knows about this issue and that it is an ios 10 bug. I am a first time apple customer and didn't realize apple would let a community thread like this go on for so long without addressing it at all (yet tell other companies it's a bug). At least it sounds like they're aware - would be nice to see apple stand tall and come clean out here to put this issue to rest

Apple needs to take care of this issue it is NOT your phone. I have a brand new IPhone 7 and it happened to me also after 10.1.1 update. Very aggravating. What happened to apples we will fix it attitude instead of making excuses. I have had an IPhone since the 3 getting tired of the crappy attitude instead of just fixing the darn bugs Get with it Apple.

i was thinking that maybe my backup is corrupt... i've had this issue on my 6S PLUS; had to get it exchanged twice,,, the dumb apple store employee told me that i need to put my iphone in recovery mode, because apparently its the "home board" that keeps crashing; its the software that's responsible for loading the lock screen; anyways i did that & the issue came back... i ended up swapping out for a new phone & this morning i noticed that the new phone it is still crashing .... :@:@:@:@ i will go back to my galaxy s6... so frustrating.

doing the "hard-reset" doesn't do anything, because the problem comes back in a few days...

anyone know how to downgrade the OS?

i think i may have found the solution..

didnt try it myself yet but it could be a shot... can someone try this and let me know?

What a pain. Can’t use the phone for more than a minute. Uninstalling headspace didn’t do it. I disabled notification on all apps that were updated this morning, but didn’t help. Started disabling all notification. Had a crash in the middle of g (google?), but not after that. Updated to 11.2. Now I have to enable the notifications

I suspect they released 11.2 in a hurry. It probably has other bugs, hopefully not as bad as this one.

i have a new iPhone 7 and have experienced this since last Friday when I got the phone this is clearly a bug and a pain in the rear

Happened for the third time within just two hours using my iPhone to listen to music and reading the newspaper. Starts to annoy me...

It doesn't sound like you have the same issue, I don't get stuck with that screen, it just happens regularly and only lasts a few seconds each time.

I did this also and haven't seen the spinner for many days now.

Go to settings - general - accessibility - home button - "rest finger to open "and enable it.

Thanks .. Dave

I Have the same issue.

I brought my phone into Apple and got a new iphone 7 and did a new phone install. It was fine for a few hours but then the spinning data wheel reappeared.

Deleting Headspace did not solve it. Updating to iOS 11.2 now.

I updated to 11.2, but Saw the spinning wheel once. I haven’t seen it again. It is not as bad as dec 2, but it is lurking in there

Count me in on this too. This is the first time I've discovered other people with the same problem. I did several Google searches on iOS 10 bugs, and couldn't find this one listed. I was starting to think it was just me.

Same problem here. So disappointing. And I can't restore my iPhone because the screen is black! And the Find My iPhone feature stops you from being able to do a restore. I managed to get it into recovery mode and it recognises that there is a problem with the iPhone and updates the software but that doesn't help.

I think this will be the last iPhone I own!

same here, iPhone6, ios10.0.2, not good! especially when i rely on my phone for paying for things and at the checkout yesterday this happened! Had to wait for it to come back to life, with some odd looks from the cashier.
