Don’t Miss These New Features
iOS 10
1.
Lock Screen Perhaps the most instantaneously recognizable change introduced in iOS 10 is to the lock screen. Gone are the days of “swipe to unlock” and barely useful lock screen notifications.
With the latest update, users get home-button unlocking, in addition to big and beautiful lock screen notifications, which provide deeper context and more content than their predecessors.

Notifications
As you engage with your new mobile operating system, your next big discovery will likely be Apple’s sizeable overhaul of system notifications. Among the changes introduced in iOS 10, are richer and larger notifications, the ability to reply to messages from the homescreen, and contextual interaction options for 3rd party notifications, such as “liking” or “sharing” a post. The quick launch menu makes an appearance here as well—simply swipe left on the notifications menu to access it.

Messages Messages has also been the target of major changes. Namely, a lengthy list of new features has been added to the app, including new animations, new message types, and the ability to send handwritten notes.
Users now have the ability to control how messages appear on the recipient’s screen by setting different options for bubble animations, in addition to new features such as handwritten image overlays and “invisible ink”.

Apple Maps
With iOS 10, Apple has made some subtle (and useful) changes to its native mapping application, which has received an updated design, with bigger, bolder headings and buttons. Most of the changes to the application are independent of design, however. Among the most prominent updates are the ability to add detours, a way to remember your parking spot, and contextual 3rd party app integration (such as reserving a table at a restaurant from within the Maps application).

Siri With this release, Siri has received some much needed upgrades to its functionality. You can now control a multitude of different apps from Siri, most notable of which are third-party apps. Simply ask Siri to “let Jenna know that I’m running a few minutes late with Whatsapp”. Other useful features include the ability to order an Uber or Lyft, set calendar events from contextual clues in messaging apps and emails, search YouTube, control your smart devices, and even change the station or AC setting in the car (if you have CarPlay).

Photos Apple’s Photos app has also seen some pretty impressive updates, many of which are powered by some pretty advanced machine learning. You can now browse photos by location or person from within the Albums screen. This may not seem so impressive until you learn that this is powered by machine learning, not image tags. To help take advantage of this new ability, Apple has added a search bar to the Photos app, allowing users to search for images based on their contents. For example, try searching for “shoes” or “trees”.

3D Touch 3D Touch, originally introduced in iOS 9, has also received some excellent improvements. Among them are new 3D touch actions, such as interacting with the home screen, switching quickly between apps, interacting with notifications, activating live photos, and entering trackpad mod. 3D touch has also been worked into as many system functions as possible, such as replying to a message from a notification, or controlling torch brightness.

Miscellaneous There have also been a number of miscellaneous upgrades to iOS that can’t really be placed into the above categories.
These include the ability to remove system apps (finally!), track your sleep schedule, transcribe voicemail messages, keep unlimited tabs open in Safari, and natively support VOIP.
