Phone, email, message apps freeze on ios10

Is there a feedback place for iOS 10 somewhere and are others having this issue?


I have reset my phone and closed apps and rebooted, but regularly my phone will freeze when replying to messages and emails or when trying to make a call. It's very frustrating. I have an iPhone 6, 64gb with 50% free space.

iPhone 6, iOS 10

There seems to be a solution at "Phone" app freeze on iOS 10

Here is what I learned:

Basically, you need to go to Settings->Mail->Accounts->...

to disable the syncing of "Contacts" from those accounts.

The biggest culprit is Exchange server and Hotmail accounts.

Gmail accounts can also be the cause.

iCloud account should be fine.


It seems iOS10 has problem syncing Contacts from some of those servers.
