iOS 10 is the tenth major release of the iOS operating system developed by Apple Inc., being the successor to iOS 9. It was announced at the company's WWDC 2016 keynote on June 13, 2016,[2] and was released on September 13, 2016.[3]
iOS 10 incorporates changes to 3D Touch, the lock screen, and the addition of "widget" support. There are new features to some apps: Messages has additional emojis and third-party apps can extend functionality in iMessage, Maps has a redesigned interface and additional third-party functions, the Home app manages "HomeKit" enabled accessories, Photos has algorithmic search and categorization of media known as "Memories", and Siri is compatible with third-party app-specific requests, such as starting workouts apps, sending IMs, requesting the Lyft or Uber apps or to use payment functions.
Reception of iOS 10 was positive. Reviewers highlighted the significant updates to iMessage, Siri, Photos, 3D Touch, and the lock screen as welcome changes. The third-party extension support to iMessage meant it was "becoming a platform", although the user interface was criticized for being difficult to understand. Third-party integration in Siri was "great", although the voice assistant was criticized for not having become smarter than before. Reviewers were impressed with the image recognition technology in Photos, although noting it was still a "work in progress" with a higher error rate than the competition. 3D Touch "finally feels useful" and "works in almost every part of the OS". The lock screen was "far more customizable than before", and reviewers enjoyed that notification bubbles could be expanded to see more information without needing to unlock the phone.[4][5]
As of November 27, 2016, iOS 10 has been installed on 63% of iOS devices accessing the App Store.[6]

Main article: iOS version history § iOS 10
Introduction and initial release[edit]
iOS 10 was introduced at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference keynote address on June 13, 2016.[2] The first beta release was made available to registered developers following the keynote.[7] Apple released the first public beta release on July 7, 2016.[8] iOS 10 was released publicly on September 13, 2016.[3]
iOS 10.0.2[edit]
iOS 10.0.2 was released on September 23, 2016, as the first update to iOS 10. The update contained bug fixes, specifically fixing a bug that temporarily disabled the headphone controls on the Lightning EarPods that ship with the iPhone 7, fixing a bug preventing app extensions from being enabled, and fixing an unexpected crash of the Photos app when activating iCloud Photo Library.[9]
iOS 10.0.3[edit]
iOS 10.0.3 was released on October 17, 2016 exclusively for iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus models, with a fix for connectivity issues.[10]
iOS 10.1[edit]
iOS 10.1 was released on October 24, 2016, with a new depth of field portrait camera mode for iPhone 7 Plus, transit directions for Japan in Apple Maps, the ability to replay Bubble and Screen effects in iMessage, as well as lots of bug fixes.[11]
iOS 10.1.1[edit]
iOS 10.1.1 was released on October 31, 2016, with a fix for an issue where Health data could not be viewed for some users.[12]
On November 9, 2016, Apple released a new version of iOS 10.1.1, only available for users who hadn't yet updated to the previous 10.1.1 update. No information on the new update was given.[13]
System features[edit]
Lock screen[edit]
The "slide to unlock" mechanism on the lock screen has been removed in favor of pressing the home button.[14] Similar to the feature on the Apple Watch, "Raise to Wake" wakes up the device when the user lifts it. This function requires a device with an M9 motion coprocessor or newer,[15] such as the iPhone 6S and the iPhone SE. The "Today" view of Notification Center has been relocated to the left side, which is accessible by swiping from the left to right. Swiping from right to left opens the Camera app.[16]
Home screen[edit]
Apps can show a widget when their home-screen icon is accessed with 3D Touch. Most default apps included with iOS devices can be hidden from the home screen and 're-downloaded' from the App Store. Upon doing this, the sandbox of the respective app is removed, which contains user data, settings and caches. The app is also hidden from other places, such as the "Today" view, the Settings app and "Share Sheets" through which the user can interact with the app from within another app.[17][16][18] This feature was first hinted at during an interview in September 2015 in which Apple CEO Tim Cookstated that Apple was "looking at" allowing customers to remove unused stock apps.[19]
Notification Center[edit]
Notifications can expand to display more information and all unread notifications can be cleared at once, using 3D Touch. The "Today" view widgets are shown on the leftmost page of the home screen as well as in Notification Center.
Control Center[edit]
Control Center has been redesigned and split into three pages: one for general settings, such as quick toggles for airplane mode and orientation lock, one for audio controls and one for controlling HomeKit (internet of things) appliances, if used.[20]3D Touch capabilities have been added to several toggles.[16]
Other changes[edit]
Several sound effects have been replaced. For instance, for locking and unlocking the device and for individual key presses of the keyboard. QuickType virtual keyboards, which provide word-completion capabilities, can predict answers to questions and suggest relevant information based on location, calendar availability or contacts.
App features[edit]
Messages[edit]
The Messages app incorporates its own App Store, which lets users download third-party iMessage apps that can be accessed within iMessage conversations. Users can use them to send stickers, play games or send rich content, such as media previews, to recipients.[21]
The app has been updated to include many visual effects. Chat bubbles, for example, can be sent with a "loud" or "gentle" animation that the recipient sees upon receiving. "Invisible ink" effect obscures the message until the recipient swipes across it. Full-screen effects like balloons, confetti or fireworks can be sent. There is also support for interactions similar to the Apple Watch, such as sending quick sketches and recording and sending the user's heartbeat.[14][16][22]
New emojis have been added, as well as additional features related to emoji. Emojis appear 3x bigger if messages are sent with up to three emojis and no text, the keyboard can now predict emojis to use, and an emoji replacement feature attempts to match words in messages and replace them with emojis of the same meaning.[23]
Since the Game Center app has been removed, Messages now handles actions such as inviting friends to a game.[24]
Maps[edit]
Maps has been redesigned and updated with additional features, including scanning calendar events for locations, learning from a user's typical actions, and a redesigned driving view.[25] A marker can be automatically placed to indicate the user's parked car.[26]
Users can add third-party extensions to the Maps app, which enables additional functionality, such as a restaurant-booking extension can help the user reserve a table from inside the Maps app.[27]
Photos[edit]
Apple added deep learning capabilities for sorting and search,[28] designed for a "Memories" feature that can automatically recognize and compile related photos and create short, shareable musical videos,[29] and local facial recognitionfunctionality was added to group pictures by people.[30]
Home[edit]
Home is a new app that allows users to manage appliances compatible with HomeKit, Apple's API for home automation. In the app, a user can turn on lights, unlock doors, and perform several other actions.[31] A "Scenes" panel allows many devices to be controlled at once to fit a mood or setting. Geo-fencing activates scheduled sequences following the user's location.[14]
Music[edit]
The Music app has been redesigned, with an emphasis placed on usability. The "For You" section has been reorganized, with a playlist offering daily music recommendations. The "New" tab has been renamed "Browse". A new tab for music that has been downloaded called "Downloaded Music" has been added.[31] Lyrics will also be viewable for songs in-app in iOS 10.[32] The "Search" tab will include recent and trending searches.[33]
News[edit]
News, taking cues from the Music layout, has been redesigned to incorporate bold headings and a newspaper-esque layout in the redesigned "For You" tab, making it easier to find and read stories. News also features support for subscriptions and provides notifications for breaking news.
Phone[edit]
The Phone app can transcribe received visual voicemails. Siri can announce the name and phone number of incoming calls.[34] The system can mark suspected spam callers on the call screen upon incoming calls. VoIP calls provided by third-party apps can be integrated with the system-wide call screen, similar to regular phone calls.[16]
Clock[edit]
The Clock app has a "Bedtime" feature which reminds the user when to go to bed to get the desired amount of sleep.[35]
Notes[edit]
Notes now has a collaboration feature. This allows you to share a note with others.[36] The app also allows you to share your note through an app listed in a share sheet like menu.
Developer APIs[edit]
iOS 10 gives third-party developers access to APIs to three major iOS system apps and services: Siri, iMessage, and Maps. Developers can:
- Turn certain activities into Siri voice commands, allowing users to speak voice queries into the Siri personal assistant and Siri returning results from the respective apps. Apps that can integrate with Siri are limited to: sending messages, starting calls, sending and requesting payments, search for photos and videos, ordering taxicab or ride-sharingservices, and managing workouts.[16][25]
- Add dedicated apps to the iMessage App Store, that lets users add unique sticker packs, share rich content, or interact with certain app functions entirely within an iMessage conversation.[21]
- Add extensions to Apple Maps, so apps with specific functionality useful in a map, such as a restaurant-booking app, can integrate with the mapping service to handle app functionality directly in the Maps app.[27]
iOS 10 now allows third-party apps to capture RAW image format pictures.[37] Support for shooting photos in Adobe's DNG RAW format is limited to devices with at least a 12MP camera and a camera app that supports it, as Apple did not enable the feature in the native Camera app.[38]
Removed functionality[edit]
Native support for the VPN protocol PPTP was removed. Apple recommends alternatives which it considers to be more secure.[39]
iOS 10 restricts a workaround that some developers used to probe or read certain hardware information pertaining to the device's battery, such as the number of battery cycles, the charging voltage, the input/output current and the real charge. Apple's I/O Kit framework is considered private by Apple and it rejected apps that used it. The workaround was still able to retrieve some of this information without using I/O Kit. On iOS 10, apps that use this workaround either crash or show wrong information.[40]
Reception[edit]
In his review, The Verge's Dieter Bohn wrote that the new features introduced in iOS 10 are "an evolution of some of the design and interaction ideas that Apple has been working on for a couple of years". He wrote that iMessage is "becoming a platform all its own", and although he liked that extensions mean access to information from apps without needing to open the respective apps, he wrote that new iMessage interface is difficult to understand and that the use of "third-party apps, stickers, crazy confetti effects, and emoji all over the place" is a "nightmare", although finishing with "Or maybe that's a wonderland, not a nightmare. Your call." Regarding third-party support in Siri, he called it "great", while noting the limited class of apps ("calls, messaging, payments, photos, ride-sharing apps, some CarPlay systems, and workouts"), and that sometimes a button press was required to complete the process. Beyond app integrations, he criticized Siri, writing "Siri doesn't seem to have gotten a whole lot smarter than you remember". Bohn enjoyed the new machine learning technology present in the Photos app, writing that he was "impressed" by Apple's image recognition technology, which he noted is done locally on the device, but did criticize the error rate, where he compares the technology to Google Photos as a step ahead. Bohn liked the new designs for the Music and Maps apps, saying both the redesigns were "for the better". Bohn particularly enjoyed the new lock screen, where he highlighted that notification bubbles can be 3D Touch-ed to access more information, all without needing to unlock the phone. Other small bits of new features he liked included "deletable" apps, upgraded "widgets" when 3D Touch-ing a home screen icon, and breaking news notifications in Apple News. Overall, Bohn referred to iOS 10 as "Still a walled garden, but with more doors".[4]
Engadget's Devindra Hardawar wrote that iOS 10 is Apple "basically polishing a pearl". Hardawar noted that the major changes in the release focus on features rather than the visual interface. He wrote that the lock screen is now "far more customizable than before". He praised the new features added to 3D Touch, writing that it "finally feels useful", where he likes that "3D Touch works in almost every part of the OS". In regard to iMessage, he wrote that it has new features that are "particularly useful", including "Invisible ink" that obscures text in a conversation when others might be looking, but criticized the user interface, writing that it "needs some work". The "Memories" feature in the new Photos app "usually turned out well", but wrote that "they're still clearly a work in progress". Hardawar praised the new Apple Music app, but added that "really, anything is better than the last iteration". He also liked lyrics support. He wrote that Siri's third-party support was "actually starting to get useful", but did run into accuracy issues. He finished by writing that although iOS 10 does add features seen in Google's Android operating system before, the mobile industry is "shamelessly getting "inspired" by the competition". His summary states that "iOS 10 is a collection of useful changes to an already solid OS".[5]
Problems[edit]
The initial public release of iOS 10 on September 13, 2016 saw many iPhones and iPads temporarily disabled, or "bricked", by the over-the-air update, requiring bricked devices to be connected to a Mac or PC with iTunes in order to retry the update or restore the device to factory settings. Apple fixed the issue quickly, and released a statement: "We experienced a brief issue with the software update process, affecting a small number of users during the first hour of availability. The problem was quickly resolved and we apologize to those customers."[41]
In September 2016, it was discovered that the encryption of local iOS backups made with iTunes is weaker for iOS 10 devices than for devices running iOS 9. Russian software firm ElcomSoft discovered that the iOS 10 backup process skips several security checks, making it "approximately 2,500 times" faster to try passwords, enabling 6 million password tries per second compared to the 2,400 password tries per second for the same process ElcomSoft has used on iOS 9. The firm stated that the impact is "severe".[42] Apple acknowledged the problem and said it plans to issue a security update. It recommended securing the macOS or Microsoft Windows computer with a strong password and disk encryption. It also said that device backups stored with iCloud are not affected.[43]
The Next Web's Juan Buis wrote in late November 2016 that "complaints are shared [on Apple's support forums] about various iPhone models turning off when the battery falls below a certain percentage", and blames the iOS 10.1.1 update. He further wrote that "the original post [on support forums] explains that the phone dies when there’s 30 percent charge left, and many others have since replied that they’re experiencing the same."[44]
