Apple rolled out its highly anticipated iOS 10 update Tuesday, but there were some issues.

In a statement sent to multiple outlets including Buzzfeed, Apple says the issue has been “quickly resolved” and impacted a small number of users.
The bug hit many iPhone and iPad users who downloaded the update directly to their phones rather than through iTunes.
The iOS 10 update is 1.1GB, but could take longer to download depending on how many people are hammering Apple’s servers when you try to upgrade your device. Apple’s latest flagship device has people extremely hyped but it’s unlike previous years where people were literally camping outside Apple stores in order to enjoy the latest version of the tech giant’s flagship device.
Users who were already affected by the problem will need to continue on with the restore process using a computer, but new users who attempt to install the update should not run into the problem. If you haven’t updated to iOS 10 and want to do so, be sure to back it up first to prevent data loss.
However, the best news of all is that iPhone users can finally delete all the unwanted apps that are pre-installed on the device with iOS 10. Facebook announced plans some months ago to expand Messenger into its own platform, and this seems to be where Apple is taking cues.
Those feeling fearless can update to iOS 10 by following the directions below and start deleting pre-installed apps. To backup a device via iTunes, connect it via a USB cable to iTunes, tap on the device name and click “Back Up Now”. The iOS 9 Today screen’s semi-transparent dark blocks are gone, replaced by rounded clusters of semi-transparent white widgets.
With under two days to go until the iPhone 7 officially becomes available to the public, customers are beginning to line up outside of Apple retail locations all around the world.

To use the devices again, users had to connect the iPhone or iPad to a laptop and complete a full restore of the operating system.
