We talked about new features in iOS 10 for the iPhone and iPad.
- Mail now threads by conversation. Also, good at guessing where to move emails so you don't have to work your way through your file hierarchy. Big time saver.
- Lock screen is different. Now you slide left for camera and right for notifications and widgets.
- On iPhone 6S and newer, lift to lock screen
- New features in Messages to preview links and do more than just text. For example, full screen effects. Characters. Animations. In landscape view and on iPad, handwritten messages. Apps for Messages.
- Control panel is now 2 pages - one just for music
- Sliding right used to unlock your phone - now you get a new widgets page. Just press the button to go to your home screen.
- New Photos app with search and Markup. Note - Edit icon and position changed.
- Can delete standard apps (really just hides them) and restore from the App store.
- News app improved.
- Safari - close all tabs at once.
- Magnifier.
See you on October 2nd !
