Q: iphone 6 won't access yahoo
Hi,
My 16G iPhone 6 suddenly stopped connecting with Yahoo--mail, search, articles, everything. It also will no longer allow Candy Crush to connect with Facebook. (Which might be a good thing, but still...) The problem started Monday.
I have no problem with any other sites. I would assume this is a Yahoo hacking-related problem except for the Candy Crush/FB issue. I have no problem accessing Yahoo from my (Windows) computer.
When I try to add my Yahoo mail account to the mail app, it take me to api.login.yahoo.com and nothing happens.
When I try to go to yahoo.com on Chrome, I get "This site can't be reached."
When I try to go to yahoo.com on Safari I get "Safari cannot open the page because it could not connect to the server."
When I try to connect Candy Crush to FB, I get the same "Safari... could not connect to the server" message
Here is what I have tried:
Rebooting (numerous times)
Updating to IOS 10.0.02 (I had not updated to 10 prior, but the problem started before update)
Resetting network settings
Deleting mail app and reinstalling
Adding Yahoo account manually
Deleting mail app and installing Yahoo app
Deleting Yahoo app and reinstalling mail app
Deleting both Candy Crush and FB and reinstalling
Profanity
Hurling iPhone across room
Any further suggestions?
iPhone 6, iOS 10.0.2

Got it figured out--it was the update of my Freedom app. Deleted the app and the problem was solved. Alerted the developer.
