iOS 10 Black Screen Spinning Wheel

Same problem here. Randomly, 2-3x a day, my iPhone 6 goes to a black screen with a spinning wheel while I'm unlocked and using an App. In my case the situation resolves itself after 10-30 seconds and the phone returns to the lock screen where I have to enter my code again. I do have Outlook installed and I've turned off notifications to see if that helps.

Bottom line is that the IOS architecture is built to prevent this type of issue from being created by Apps.

Same problem on my new Iphone 7+,

I Updated with itunes did not worked, Restore to factory settings and restone my 6S+ again.

Worked for 4 hours but there was some app's that could not download when I double clicked its started to Black spinning wheel of death. 😟

While this may have been a fix for you, this doesn't explain how there are multiple people in this thread (including myself) who have brand new iPhone 7/7+ devices that have been seeing this issue. I'd understand if it were an older iPhone that had an upgrade from iOS 9 to 10 or if your new iPhone hardware was set up from a cloud or iTunes backup, but for a completely new iPhone that shipped with iOS 10 set up as a "new iPhone" to have this problem?

I wonder if you may still see the issue, but just less commonly now. This is what happened for me when I tried the steps you describe.

Same problem on weather app complete black screen with spinning wheel and apple logo ...iphone 7 brand new and ios 10.03

I've done all what you suggest but with same result, seems that should be again restored on factory settings and back up erasing weather app...

Same for me after 20 days upgrading 10.1.1 the problem persits.

Why Apple don't fix it and why newspaper don't speak about this huge problem is a mistery...

a lot of friends have the same problem after upgrading to iOS 10

i am having this problem to on my iphone 6s plus and ipad air 2 and iphone 5 and ipad 4th gen it seems much worse for me on 64 bit ios hardly happens on 32 bit unless i am doing something that is tasking the device

Regina_m the Iphone 7 has a new way to hard reset the phone. You know press the power button and the volume down button are now used to hard reset the phone. I had to do it once to my iphone 7 already.

I know this sounds sketchy but I have the fix. email me if you want it. **** Apple removed my post, I cannot share the fix here because it is developer info. I think it is ****** that I can't share it here. I myself rely on my iPhone to feed my family and put a roof on our head. I am an Uber driver and when I got my iPhone 7plus I almost was terminated from being an Uber driver. Many riders complained about me because the app would close in the background and not give me directions. Thankfully I found the fix.

Some guy was able to email me and I told him how to fix his. I don't know how I can email people directly but if you can email me directly like he did. Like I said Apple or whoever keeps editing and erasing my email.

Hi please email me the solution. My iPhone 7 has been displaying a spinning gear with a black background. I tried restoring from backup and it's still like this that. Here's my email ****. Thank you

I have the exact same issue happening on my iPhone 6s Plus. Screen goes black, pinwheel comes up and then I'm asked to enter my pin and then my phone goes back to the home screen. I was running a developer beta (can't remember which one, they happen every week) up until a week ago when I did a clean install of 10.2. I did the clean install because my battery was draining REALLY fast (losing 25% reading for 30-45 min 1st thing in the morning). Battery issue is a little better, but now I get this black screen, pin wheel, log back in issue at least a few times an hour. It's annoying. Looks like I'll have to go back to the developer beta.

I am having this issue with my Iphone 6Plus. Apple replaced with a new phone as they could not find an issue and the problem persists. I did use icloud backup and they are claiming that the issue is with back up. After seeing this post It looks like lot of folks have this issue. is this issue with Iphone6plus in general or issues with IOS10 or an issue with an App or something else. What is the resolution ?

i would not belive that i have been having the same problem on all my devices i have restored them set them up as new and it still happens all the time if it was a problem with a backup i would of cured it setting up as new hope that helps

I have the same problem with 6plus.

Black screen spinning wheel twice in a week.

I was texting something and boom.

No way to turn it off in the usual ways. I had to hold down power and home button. The screen powered off almost immediately BUT I had NO way to power it back on.

I had to restore via iTunes!

I never had this issue before with other ios version.

If it'll happen again I'll try regina's tip.

I know this is a bit old but thank you so much for posting this! My phone turned on after step two and I was so relieved. I'd been staring at the black screen for an hour trying to figure out how I was going to get the money for a replacement. Thank you, thank, thank you!!!!
