Apple is making some big improvements and releasing some big news lately. Not only have they announced the new iPhone 7 and the second generation Apple Watch, but they also announced the new iOS 10. It's an update for your phone that you might actually want to download as soon as it comes out. There are a lot of new features included with this update to make most iPhone users extremely happy.
One major feature that everyone seems to be excited about with this new update is the new emojis. Though it doesn't appear there are any new food emojis being added, there are about 70 others, so get excited about that. They are much more diverse, including different genders for the sports emojis and the addition of a woman construction worker and police officer. More diverse families have been added as well. For example, there are now single parent families. It's about time Apple recognizes and adds more diversity and gender equality in their emojis. If you want to see all of the new emojis, you could either wait for the update or check out TechCrunch for a sneak peak.
Another exciting feature with the update is the improvements with Apple Maps. You can now set a route to specifically avoid tolls and stop along your route to find restaurants, gas stations and other stops without having to completely end your trip. They have also added a Find My Car feature so you won't lose your car in a parking lot again. Clearly, the people at Apple know the struggle.
Apple has finally answered to our cries and pleas about being able to delete unwanted apps. With the new update, you'll finally be able to delete those pesky apps that automatically came with your phone. Yea, I'm looking at you, stocks and compass. It's been nice knowing you, but storage space is more important. And if you want them back, all you have to do is go into settings and voila, there they are.
The clock app will now have a bedtime feature included that tracks your sleeping habits and will be connected with the Health app. You'll get reminders and data to help your sleeping habits stay on track. It helps you get up and go to bed at the same times every day, so your sleep is more even and regular.
There is another way to optimize storage space on your iPhone as well. You'll be able to tell your phone to delete songs you haven't listened to in a while in order to free up some space. You can always re-download the songs later if you all of the sudden want to listen to them again.
There are plenty of other features included with the update that will prove to be super useful. Be sure to download the update, you won't regret it.
