It’s definitely an exciting season for Apple users. After all, this week will not only give people the chance to finally own a new iPhone 7, it’s also the week when the much-anticipated iOS 10 will be released. To tell you honestly, it’s hard to kill the excitement about the iOS 10’s debut. Even experts that6 sell iPhones agree that the list of features is just too long.
To give you a preview of what the iOS 10 will deliver, here are some of the most anticipated functions that will come with it:
- Send messages in your own handwriting.
Nothing can get more personal than this. The iOS 10 makes “writing your own message” very literal as it allows you to send messages not only in your own words, but in your own handwriting as well. The recipient of the message will even see it in an animated manner, giving the impression that the message is appearing just as you’re writing it on a piece of paper.
- Animate your message bubbles.
You can make your message bubbles pop out on the screen, or you can make zoom in the message before zooming back out to its original size. Now, messaging is more exciting as these message bubble animations take over your message thread with your contacts. This gives more wow to every message you send.
- Animate your message screen.
Sometimes, messages need a little more life added into it. This is why iOS 10 now allows you to add animations over your entire screen the moment you send a greeting. For example, you can greet someone a happy birthday and send some balloons flying all over the screen. Choose the most appropriate animation for every kind of event.
- Send a hidden message.
If you want to add some anticipation and excitement to the message you’re sending, the best way to do it is by adding some mystery. Send a hidden message that will only be revealed once the recipient swipes over it. This allows you to add some element of surprise when delivering big news, or if you simply want to give your friend’s heart a few thuds before reading your message.
- Replace some keywords with emojis.
Emojis are really cute, but it could be such a hassle trying to find the perfect emoji for your message. Now, you can simply tap an icon and highlight all the words in your message that correspond to the list of emojis in your messaging app. Once these words are highlighted, you can tap to replace each of these words and turn them into emojis to make the message more interesting.
This is just the beginning. There are so many new features and functions that come with iOS 10 that it’s hard to find a favorite among them. One thing’s for sure, though. Just like everybody else, our fingers will be waiting to tap that install button once the iOS 10 has been launched. With great features like these, who wants to get left behind?
