As a preview of what tech fans can expect from the iOS 10, Apple’s description reads as follows.

“Everything you love is now even better with iOS 10, our biggest release yet. Express yourself in bold new ways in Messages. Find your route with beautifully redesigned Maps. Relive memories like never before in Photos. And use the power of Siri in more apps than ever. There’s so much to say about iOS 10 — here are just a few of our favorite things.”

The iOS 10 version of Messages brings in a lot of new features. For instance, the application now offers support for handwritten messages. A previous Inquisitr report also noted that fresh functionalities to expect from Messages include sending your heartbeat, use of rich links as well as making messages appear in “invisible ink.”

“Apple has also unveiled a completely redesigned lock screen with rich notifications that can display tiny live widgets and a huge Photos app update with face recognition, deep learning categorization and intelligent photo albums,” Tech Crunch noted, talking about the iOS 10. Apple fans can also expect updates to HomeKit and the Phone app.

Still deciding whether to get the iOS 10 beta 6? Since beta versions are likely to contain bugs during testing stages, Romain Dillet of Tech Crunch simply recommended not to install it on the primary Apple device you are using to avoid potential risks.
