On June 13, Apple announced a new edition operating system iOS and has already provided registered developers with the opportunity to familiarize themselves with the beta version of the platform. The OS has received a significant number of new features, including Raise To Wake, which allows you to “wake up” iPhone screen when the user picks it up. Alas, only owners of a limited number of gadget models that support iOS 10 will be able to appreciate the merits of Raise To Wake.
According to the official Apple information, the functionality will only be available on iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE. In the fall, the list of devices will be replenished with iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The Cupertino team does not disclose the reasons for such a significant restriction, but journalists and experts have their own opinion on this matter.
According to some media outlets, the problem may lie in the second generation Touch ID sensors implemented in the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus. However, in this case, it is not clear why the iPhone SE, which received the first generation Touch ID, was on the list of compatible devices.
ON TOPIC: How iPhone SE differs from iPhone 6s: detailed comparison.
It is possible that the limitation is associated with the M9 coprocessor, built directly into the Apple A9 microchip. It is thanks to him that the Siri digital assistant is always active on current generation Apple smartphones.
How to enable Raise To Wake mode
1. Open the Settings app.
2. Go to the Screen and Brightness section.
3. Turn the Bring and Wake switch... to the On position.
Apple calls the release of iOS 10 the most significant release in the company's history. Among the main innovations, it is worth noting an improved Control Center, the ability to use widgets on the lock screen, improved Photos, Maps and Messages applications, as well as an updated Apple service Music.
Based on materials from yablyk
If in iOS 10 you liked, for example, the Home application for controlling a smart home or the updated Apple Music service, then you will in any case move to the tenth generation, ignoring some of the flaws. But as iOS 9.3.5 rolls out, users have a choice: stick with the proven version, or find out if the seven most annoying features we found in iOS 10 will piss them off.
1. Raise to wake
The "Raise to wake" function was designed to iPhone display 6s, iPhone SE and iPhone 7 automatically lit up when it looked at the user's face. Owners have long been accustomed to this trick smart watch, where the option really took root, which cannot be said about smartphones. In everyday life, the phone screen constantly lights up when idle, giving rise to false thoughts about missed notifications or simply distracting the owner of the gadget. Perhaps the only thing that was more annoying was the Xiaomi Mi Band 2, which kept lighting up at night during restless sleep :)
“Raise to wake” is disabled via: Settings -> Screen and brightness -> Raise to wake.
2. Home button to unlock
The iPhone 7 and 7 Plus lost the mechanical Home button, replacing it with a sensor connected to the Taptic Engine, so that it simulates vibration when pressed, like in an electric car with a V8 growl from the speakers. At the same time, Apple has disposed of the age-old tradition of “Slide to unlock”. In iOS 10, swiping across the screen activates the camera, and direct unlocking occurs through the Home key. Only users of devices without Touch ID might not like such an update, since with a fingerprint sensor, unlocking is already carried out without sliding across the screen.
3. Clear all notifications
Along with iOS 10, users now have the opportunity to delete all notifications in the Notification Center with one click on a button, but this turned out to be feasible only for devices with 3D Touch on board. Even owners of not very outdated iPhone 6 are left out of work, which is a pity.
4. Music storage optimization
In beta versions, absolutely all users could use the “Optimize Storage” feature, but after the official release of iOS 10, automatic deletion of songs that you have never listened to became available only to Apple Music and iTunes Match subscribers.
5. Reduce Motion conflicts with iMessage effects
The Reduce Motion effect came with iOS 7. Its essence was to simulate a three-dimensional effect when the user rotated the device. The thing turned out to be quite controversial, however, many people liked it. So, now you have to turn it off in order to insert newfangled iMessage goodies into messages, otherwise they simply won’t be attached.
6. Access to correspondence on the lock screen
Of course, Apple managed to make the lock screen more powerful and...more accessible. It turns out that any outsider can correspond on your behalf without entering a password. To fix this, you need to go to Settings -> Touch ID and Password and slide the “Reply to message” toggle switch at the very bottom.
7. Automatic activation of handwriting input
Handwriting input, which has become one of the key features of the updated Messages, for some reason is automatically turned on when the device is in landscape mode. During quick conversations, finger tracing is of no use, so it is wiser to turn it off. The good thing is that the keyboard icon in the lower right corner can quickly return the traditional keys.
The remaining features of iOS 10 gave us extremely positive emotions. What didn’t you like, dear readers?
When you buy a new iPhone, sooner or later you find functions that you were not familiar with before. Overall, Apple is doing enough good job, because most of them are quite useful.
Another function of this kind is “Raise to Activate”. Many people don’t know what it is and, most importantly, how to turn it on or off.
Let's get to know a little about the purpose for which it was created. this function and what needs to be done to get rid of it, if necessary.
What does "raise to activate" mean?
If you have at least an iPhone 6S, then you probably noticed that when you lift your smartphone, the screen automatically lights up.
This is the implementation of this point. It was made mainly for three purposes: to view notifications, use the “Control Center” or swipe left to call up the camera and take a couple of pictures.
If you don’t do anything and just put the phone back in your pocket (on the table), then the screen goes dark. For some this is quite useful and they take advantage of it.
But if it annoys you and you want to turn it off as quickly as possible, then let's do it.
How to enable/disable Raise to Activate on iPhone?
You may not immediately be able to find how to disable Raise to Activate. But as always happened on the iPhone, this can be done literally in a matter of seconds.
We follow these steps:
Now, when you pick up your phone, its screen will no longer light up. But if you suddenly want to try again, then we follow exactly the same steps.
Why does the iPhone 6s screen light up spontaneously? This question confuses many users, even those who have dealt with previous Apple technology. This fact in itself is not a reason to suspect a malfunction. On the contrary, this is one of the “tricks” characteristic of new smartphones.
7 and SE only to make life easier for the owner. At least according to the developers from Cupertino. Now there is no need to unlock your phone by pressing a button. It reacts to movement and activates itself. However, not everyone likes this “initiative” of owning their own phone. Disabling the function is quite simple - Settings - Screen - Raise to activate.
But if the “Lift” option is disabled, there is likely a malfunction of one kind or another. VseEkrany.RU specialists will tell you how to check your phone for correct operation.
iPhone 6s diagnostics and common problems
Despite impressive sales around the world, new iPhones can no longer boast the same reliability as the models made under Jobs. Almost every iOS update presents users with “surprises” that generate a negative information background.
It’s unpleasant that problems appear, but the manufacturer can also understand that if you spend too much time on debugging, you will fall behind your competitors.
If the picture freezes, it’s worth checking whether the problem is with the software. To do this, you need to create a copy of your data, reset the settings to factory defaults and install latest version iOS. The method, of course, is suitable for those who know what they are doing. For inexperienced users It's better to turn to professionals. And if flashing is required, we strongly do not recommend trying to do it yourself, even if you still have an iPhone 3.
If the problem is not resolved, the phone needs diagnostics. In a good way, it should be done in case of any malfunction. Whether the glass is damaged as a result of a fall, whether spots and streaks have appeared, whether the lock screen has stopped turning on - only professional diagnostics carried out by service center engineers will identify the problem.
Often harmless symptoms hide a serious problem. If the screen periodically goes out and does not turn on immediately, the backlight or the controller responsible for it may be broken motherboard. And if the screen rotation freezes on the iPhone 6s, the accelerometer is not working properly. And so on.
VseEkrany.ru will provide your device with professional diagnostics for free. Part of our engineers' professional ethics is to first identify the problem and then provide a solution. Repairs are not imposed on the client if there is no breakdown or it can be fixed in 5 minutes. Any cables that have popped out or incorrect basic settings will be corrected for free.

Every release of a new operating system comes with a bunch of quirks and annoying features. iOS 10 is no exception, but fortunately, most of these “features” can be easily fixed.
Make Touch ID unlock the same as in iOS 9
Unlocking your phone now works completely differently. "Make a slide with your finger across the screen"has now completely disappeared and is unlikely to ever return. Now you have to click on the button Home to unlock your phone. If you don’t want to constantly press the Home button to unlock, this can be easily fixed. To do this, do the following:
- Go to “Settings” -> “General” -> “Accessibility” -> “Home”.
- Enable the option "Opening by placing a finger".
Now your phone will unlock when you place your finger on the Home button. You no longer need to press it.
Turn off the ability to reply to messages from the lock screen
If you're concerned about your privacy and you're not a fan of how easy it is to reply to messages from the lock screen, then you can disable this feature:
- Open “Settings” -> “Touch ID and passcode”.
- Enter your password.
- Go lower to "Reply with message" and turn off this option.
You will no longer be able to reply to messages from the lock screen, which will help protect your privacy. There are also other applications that can reveal themselves somehow on the lock screen. So be very careful with them. If you don't feel comfortable with apps that can be controlled from the lock screen, then don't let notifications appear there.
Turn off Raise to Wake feature
This feature automatically turns on the screen backlight when you pick up the phone, but it doesn't do it for everyone. If you are tired of it or it turns on the screen too often, or at the wrong time, then you can simply turn it off:
- Head to “Settings” -> “Display and brightness”
- Disable the option "Raise to activate."
Clear Spotlight search results
For some reason, Spotlight likes to save your searches when you go to the search menu. It shows you ALL your search queries. There is no option to delete them as such. However, you can disable this feature:
- Head to “Settings” -> “General” -> “Spotlight Search”
- Uncheck the box next to " Siri Suggestions."
This will of course disable search suggestions in Spotlight, but it will at least clear the cache of search queries.
Prevent apps from automatically being added to messages
Messages now has its own iMessages app store, where you can add various small utilities and stickers to your messages. In addition, older apps can add their own iMessage extensions.
For example, the popular Yelp app and OpenTable both have iMessage extensions that let you search for restaurants directly from Messages. This is of course great, but unfortunately the settings iOS 10 make the addition of these extensions automatic, without your participation. This can be fixed:
- Open "Messages" and click on the arrow icon -> " Applications".
- Click on the four circles icon in the lower left corner. Then to the Store icon.
- Click on the panel "Control".
- Switch "Automatically add applications" to position "Turn off."
Now you will need to independently add the applications that you want to use.
Disable Safari Autofill for Contact Information and Email
IN Safari now a special QuickType a keyboard that gives suggestions for personal information when you fill out any forms. This is convenient for some people, but a hindrance for everyone else. This can be disabled:
- Go to “Settings” -> “Safari” -> “Autofill”.
- Turn off “Use contact information, names, passwords and credit cards.”
More Safari will not offer you autocomplete for forms.
Disable Reduce Motion if effects don't work
If you're playing around with the new messaging app and can't open the effects panel, then there's a good chance you have the option turned on. "Reduce movement". To return these effects, do the following.
