iOS 10 - Apple's latest OS puts 3D Touch, Siri, and Emojis everywhere

@nivo0o0 Oh that's awesome! :)

@nivo0o0 $s⏳💬👍🏼.voice memo is still awful tho

@nivo0o0 the Line chat app has had this feature for 2 years now with their 1,000+ emojis (they call them sticons because they can be used as emoji or stickers)

@nivo0o0 emojis are extremely useful for convening the emotion of the message across. How many times have messages have come across the wrong way because the recipient doesn't understand sarcasm for example. But I dont understand emotions like basketball or pizza. Its just easier to write.

@rrhoover iOS - Clinton '16 campaign edition

@rrhoover @ow For millennials or the parents of millennials trying to keep up?

@ilyashassani this might have to be mine:

@ilyashassani I am really digging the new redesigned lockscreen allowing a more rich content experience right from it.

@rrhoover @ilyashassani Welcome to Android Google Voice?

@rrhoover @ilyashassani Google voice already had this implemented like 2 years ago. Good to see iOS implementing it but not necessarily revolutionary.

@rrhoover I agree with you but this won't work with other languages for now .

@stevejwikeley This is spot on. My friends add emojis to their phrasing. I'm not seeing them use emojis replace words. Maybe i iz old?

@gladrobot Perhaps we're too old (i'm 33) I run a enterprise messaging service. Our user based could be anyone that works so 16-65, so at 33 i'm still young in the ever ageing work place. A year ago we were hesitating about launching emojis and emoji reactions so i researched and conducted user interviews with as wide range of ages groups about their emoji usage. Age didn't really play much of a factor to their willingness to use them. Much of a surprise to our enterprise app is flooded with them from all age ranges.

@stevejwikeley Emoji picker isn't new. I've been using it on 'Hike' app for years now. Still nice to see other cool features in iMessage.

@willfeldman3 me too installing it now

@bradmillscan The control centre remembers which context you're on between swipes, so you can leave it on the music controls and swipe back and forth for those (likely less frequent times) when you need to change some function/setting

@mrkwse that's neat...but it adds one extra step. I use the flashlight a lot, I use control center to turn wifi and bluetooth on and off a lot (rolling up to a coffee shop that you don't want to be on it's wifi, quickly disconnecting from an annoying bluetooth device like your car) and more frequently, brightness control. I'd say I use the music controls about as much as I use the other functions of control center. It's neat that camera is now a swipe instead of pulling up control center and hitting camera icon - but I wonder will that accidentally activate ... I used to enjoy having the screen be "off" at all times when the phone was locked so i could touch the screen while holding/carrying and not have to worry about things getting pressed. It feels unintuitive, just going to add an extra thing to think about, an extra action where the current control center had everything optimized quite well. Really, why does nightshift need a giant button?

@alexdbauer there were switches for privacy for a long time. Apple isn't stupid.

@mrsharma I really appreciate it. Downloading now, thank you!
