iOS 10’s Favored New Features By: Jenna Erickson, Codal _______________________________________________________________________________________ As iOS 10 recently was released (one of the largest iOS updates in a long time), there are many features that user’s oversee and don’t realize they have in the palm of their hand. Here are some of the favored features that many users don’t notice on their new update:
Parked Car Apple’s maps now allow you to find where you parked your car. On the map, you will find a little car icon, in the location of the parked vehicle. If you’re unable to find the icon, you can simply search for “parked car.”
Bedtime Are you someone who needs a certain amount of sleep to have a productive day? Than this feature may become your favorite. You can now have your phone remind you when you need to go to bed, to get your full 8 hours of sleep. Just go to your iPhones built-in “Clock” app to find this feature.
Locked Phone When your phone is locked, you can now still access things such as: top news stories, favorite people, and weather. Before this update, the user had to unlock their phone prior to viewing these things. Could Apple make it any easier for us? Probably not.
Keyboard Apple’s keyboard has some fun, new features. Instead of having to download a third-party gif keyboard app, this feature is not built into Apple’s keyboard. User’s can also send a different type of message, “Digital Touch Message.”
Photos Your photo albums are now more robust than ever. Your photos app now has a new tab, titled “Memories” in which it gathers some of your best moments into one album. You can also now search in your photos, making it easier than ever to find what you’re looking for. _______________________________________________________________________________________ Codal is a UX design and development agency with a focus on blending an Agile process with the latest emerging technologies.
