Recent updates to the iOS system have made a number of changes. One of which is you don't swipe down to turn off Suggested words when using the keyboard.

How to turn off the QuickType keyboard on your iPhone or iPad

Launch any app and pull up the keyboard. Tap and hold on the emoji icon in the bottom left of the keyboard. ... Swipe upwards and hover your finger over the Predictive toggle and release your finger. To enable QuickType again, just follow the same three steps.os

I was not under the impression the swiping down on the handle was disabling it. Only hiding it.

Probably not... They also just released 10.1 Public Beta 1. I imagine the backup encryption fix will be in the 10.1 release. But it is just speculation.

@IRJ said in The iPhone's hardware may be closed, but iOS is more open than ever:

Now we are calling adding smileys and integration with yelp, and uber as being more open than ever?

Apparently, yes. But it is true technically as well. Does not mean it is very open compared to FOSS software, but in context it is true.

@JaredBusch That's harsh. We'll have to add a step before updating firmware on stuff. Check the news... 🙂

looks like it's fixed now.

I was completely overloaded today.

Reading that article, I would have been fine since I had my desktop with iTunes available anyway.
