iOS 10: Everything You Need to Know About Apple's Newest Update Coming This Fall
techinsider

Rumors having been flying since earlier this year about the newest update coming to Apple products. The most eccentric update to happen to the software that operates your iPhone will be available sometime this Fall, according to Apple.com. The new update is full of new features that will otherwise change the way you use your smartphone in a completely new way. Whether you are thinking about upgrading to the new iPhone 7 (when it becomes available) or just wanting to experience the new software, you will be able to update with the click of a button.

So, what new features will be available on the iOS 10?


Messaging

The Message Application received a full-on facelift. New customizing options are going to be available that will allow users to change the way the message bubbles look.

You will also be able to send a message using your own handwriting with a new feature that allows you to write out what you want to say and send it right from the application.

If you type “Happy Birthday!” or “Congratulations!” you will notice animations that will take over the entire screen.

Another really unique feature will include an invisible ink feature that will allow you to hide a message or photo until the person you are sending it to swipes to reveal it.

Don’t bother replying with one word anymore. The new “Tapback” feature will allow you to send one of six quick responses that will let other people know what you are thinking. In other words: you will now be able to “like” and “thumbs-up” any message.

The new Message App also lets you tap the screen to replace words with emojis. The app will scan your message and replace words with emojis that coincide with one another.


Siri

Siri has also gotten an update! With the new iOS 10, Siri will now be able to work with some of your favorite apps from the App Store. Since Siri will no longer be limited, you will be able to use it in just about any app that you have on your phone. For example, you can ask it book you a ride through Lyft or ask it to send money to someone using Square.


Maps

The Maps Application is smarter and more efficient than ever. Users will now be able to book reservations through applications like OpenTable and set up rides using Uber all within the Maps Application.

Another great update within Maps is that it will make proactive suggestions for where you are likely to go and which way will be quickest to get there.

You will also be able to search along your route. You can see what is around the corner, restaurants, coffee shops, shopping centers, etc. all within Maps. It will even tell you how much longer it will you take you to get to your destination if you make a stop somewhere.


Music

The Music Application will also be brand new. A new design will allow users to enjoy their music even more conveniently than before. Customizing will be everything to the new Music App. You will even be able to see the lyrics to each song while you are playing the track.

As you can see, there is plenty to look forward to with the new iOS 10 coming very soon to Apple users.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?
