The long wait for iOS 10 is finally over.
Apple’s big update for iPhones and iPads is now available to the pubic after months of beta testing, bringing a host of new features that include a huge revamp of Messages, an Apple Music redesign, third-party app support with Siri and so much more.
iPhone and iPad owners can download and install the new software immediately via an over-the-air update by going to the Software Update section in the Settings app. You can also install it directly through iTunes.
“iOS 10 is our biggest release ever, with delightful new ways to express yourself in Messages, a native app for Home automation, and beautifully redesigned apps for Music, Maps and News that are more intuitive and more powerful, making everything you love about your iPhone and iPad even better,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior VP of Software at WWDC in June.
While updates for Music, Maps, Messages, News and Photos are getting most of the attention, iOS 10 also includes tons of minor tweaks like the ability to intelligently swap words with emoji, turn off read receipts for individual contacts, find where you parked your car, change the intensity of the flashlights, manage your smart home, and copy and paste between multiple devices.
Make sure your iPhone or iPad is ready to upgrade to iOS 10 by following Cult of Mac’s handy guide and then unleash all the hidden tips and tricks that most people don’t even know about yet.
