    But first, a look back\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    iOS 10 was announced last 13 June 2016<\/a> at the WWDC 2016 in San Francisco. Following this announcement, a series of beta versions was rolled out. Three months after, the official public version was released. iOS 10 was offered to iPhone 5 and later, the iPad Air and iPad Pro, the iPad 4, and the iPad mini 2 and later models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Top 6 Nifty Features in iOS 10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    1. Raise to Wake<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    With this new feature, no need to press anything to do a quick time check or see if there are notifications you missed. Raise to Wake does exactly as the name suggests, without the need to press a button. This comes quite handy when you\u2019ve got your hands full.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    To activate it, go to Settings > Display and Brightness > Raise to Wake and voila! You just need to lift your iOS 10 device to bring it back from sleep. This makes upgrading to iOS 10 really worth it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Take note, however, that this will only work with phones that have the coprocessor to make the feature happen. These are the iPhone 6s, SE, or 7.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2. Remove useless and unused apps<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Yes, even apps that come pre-loaded on your iOS device can be deleted, allowing you to free up space that you can use for something more useful. Simply hold on the app icon or folder until the X on the upper left corner and then tap on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Should you wish to re-install those apps, just download and re-install via the App Store.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just remember that some apps may be linked with other apps causing them to malfunction. CarPlay, for example, may not work with the Music app if you delete iBooks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    3. Quick, easy clearance notification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    Don\u2019t you just hate it when you have to clear notifications per app? With the Clear All Notifications feature, you can do this all at once. This doesn\u2019t work best for all iOS devices, only with iPhone 6s or higher with 3D Touch. To remove all notifications, just tap and hold on the X at the top and then choose Clear All Notifications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    iPhones without 3D Touch can still enjoy this feature, but items have to be deleted day by day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    4. Quick camera access<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In iOS 10, you can access the camera from the lock screen by simply swiping left. And when Raise to Wake is enabled, you can take the same two-step access without the need to press the power or Home button to wake up your device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    5. Improved and impressive messaging<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In iOS 10 sending messages is anything but boring. It\u2019s not only fun and colorful, but offers ways to better convey your message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
