Q: iOS 10 Update

I Updated my iPhone 5c to iOS 10.0.2, I now have 3 apps that are rendered useless as they will not open and it will not let me delete them so that I may attempt to reinstall. Any advice for the stupid thing other than throwing it all the wall lol

iPhone 5c, iOS 10.0.2

    Don't throw it at the wall.

     

    IF you want to try to delete the apps, try this way. Settings>General>Storage & iCloud Usage>Storage>Manage Storage. Let the list of apps load. Find one that you want to delete. Tap on it. Delete it in the next screen.

    OK. Try a forced restart and then see if you can delete the apps using either method. No data is lost when you do this. To force restart your device, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
