Messaging’s Big Improvements

Messages had a big redo. Send a text message and / or combine it with an image using Invisible Ink. It remains hidden until it’s field is swiped by the recipient or by you. Then it goes back to being invisible after a few seconds. With the new Loud Message feature, your message becomes momentarily large as its swings side to side. The Slam Message feature makes your entire Message Window shake like an earthquake effect. With TapBack Message, you can amend a text that has already been sent and seen by you and the recipient. It can be amended  with a heart, thumbs up, thumbs down, haha exclamation mark and or a question mark icons. Even hand-write a text message and the recipient sees it flow like ink from a pen. You can share music, send animated images, and share App Store apps.

Rise To Wake Feature

Here are some functional and fun additions in iOS 10 iPhone iPad New Features. On the 6S and 6S Plus, Raise to wake activates when you lift up, raise your iPhone and iPad and turns on the Lock Screen,. Previously you had to press the Home Button to engage with the Lock Screen.  If you don’t like Rise to wake, you can turn it off easily. But why turn it off?  Its one less finger action in the finger-press demanding mobile world in which we live.

Voice Mail Transcription

Visual Voicemail now displays a verbatim transcript of your voicemail message, though its accuracy is only as good as how clearly the caller speaks. Sometimes a transcript makes no sense at all. HaHa LOL.

Maps New Look

Maps has a new and very improved graphics look with improvements for local driving, but other than those two things, it’s still not perfect. I use Google Maps instead. https://www.google.com/maps  I experiment with Apple Maps when there’s no risk to my driving schedule. Apple simply came late to the maps competitive game.
