not able to delete apps after iOS 10 update or 10.0.2

Hi I'm GDS

Even I had the same problem when I updated my iPhone to the new one 10.2. I struggled around for a week. But when I looked out in settings I got it how to uninstall applications. It's not a bug first of all. See this

1. First go on settings/ general / restrictions / uninstall applications.

And there you go

Thanks

Have you tried a restart of the device or a force restart?

Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

I Cannot delete apps from iPad Air 2 after updating to iOS 10. Tried to delete using iCloud but that didn't work either.

Have you tried a restart or a force restart?

I am having the same issue, unable to delete apps. I also cannot open photos using Snapseed.

I have tried a hard restart but it had no effect.

Hi. The OP in this thread alluded to the alternate method of deleting an app. Have you tried it? It's described below. If you're having a problem with an app, you should post a separate question for it. But first, check the you've authorized access to Photos from the app.

There's another way to delete an app that may work when the shaking mode does not. Go to Settings > General > Storage & iCloud Usage > STORAGE Manage Storage. Note that this is the first Manage Storage. Wait for the list to populate and tap on the entry for the app. It should offer a Delete App button which may work.

HHaving the same issues. Started with wifi issues and not being able to download or update apps, tried forced restart, no luck.

Had to do a complete reset and re download of 10.0.2 via iTunes and that solved the wifi and download/update issues, however some of my apps were not able to see for example, my pictures, only way to get access was to remove the apps and reinstall.

and that's where my still probmatical working stalls. I get the shivering apps and the delete x but it doesn't work.

only way is back to iTunes

so, my issues with iOS 10 point me to a belief that the on air update is possibly corrupt and the by USB iTunes is the only way to bake the iPad stable, but still issues exist.

this by far is the worst iOS version I can recall

I think there are two problems somehow linked together. I experienced both:

1. Inability to delete apps even thought the icons were wiggling with the x shown

2. Auto-lock would not operate despite the proper settings

The fix provided by another poster:

Turn passcode off, reboot, then turn passcode back on without deleting fingerprints. You need to enter a new passcode (the original passcode is OK). Then everything worked (1) and (2) above.

It's hard to imagine what bug would cause this!

Ipad Pro 12.9 with 10.02

IInteresting tip.

however in settings, Touch ID and passcode, turn off passcode is greyed out

Could mean you didn't set up a passcode. Try setting one up. Reboot. Then turn off the passcode etc.

No, I have a passcode set up (I actually need it to get to the passcode settings) and a Touch ID, however another issue keeps turning up.

ON the Touch ID I had all three usages set to on.ipad unlock, Apple Pay and iTunes. Now the iTunes us turned off. Switch it on, go away from the settings, go back to settings and it's off again.

looks like another full reset is on the cards grrr..

i am really disappointed with iOS 10 to get honest, never ever had this amount of problems with either other iOS or even windows!

This worked on deleting apps. Thanks.

IT work very good.

Thank you.

After many tries doing different suggestions to fix these issue. This worked! Thanks!
