iOS 10: The most anticipated features in standard applications on the iPhone and iPad

iOS 10: The most anticipated features in standard applications on the iPhone and iPad

Messages

Messages from Apple could have a lot to learn from Facebook Messenger. Apple should add support stickers, implement group chats, to simplify the process of sending the photos and location.

It would be nice to borrow Digital Touch function in Apple Watch: message in the iPhone 6s could be an excellent tool for viewing drawn sketches or send heartbeat.

The calendar

Calendar need three basic things: a clear and natural language input when making tasks handy list to view the scheduled cases and an improved viewing tasks for the whole year. All these features are implemented much better in the third-party applications. That is why many are Fantastical, rather than the brand Apple application. It is difficult to explain why the company has not yet paid attention to their own calendar.

A photo

iPhone's camera allows you to take great pictures, and software in the form of photos and Mediatheques iCloud - organize photos into albums, perform the synchronization between the device and release device memory when it is low. But according to many criteria, including work with the general albums and cleaning performance local storage device, Google's photo superior solution from Apple.

Camera

The vast majority of users of the devices on the platform iOS Camera app satisfied. Nevertheless, there is a small thing that can be improved. The fact that the shot can be subsequently purified by using a photo filter effects and to create a square image it can no longer return the aspect ratio and frame size by default.
It would be nice if the camera has learned to automatically send the newly captured images to the specified pre-album. For example, in a family photostream.

Weather

The only thing necessary for the improvement of weather stickers Apple - transfer and optimization of applications for the iPad.

Clock

Right now the user can select a favorite song as the alarm tone, instead of not very pleasant preset ringtone iOS. Unfortunately, the favorite song in this case will move quickly into the category of the hated. To avoid this, it would be convenient to set the alarm clock as a playlist of the tracks which will be chosen at random.

Hours can be further integrated with Siri, the assistant to the command to carry out some of the type: «Siri, wake me up for Taylor Swift radio at 6 am."

Cards

Maps application can be improved indefinitely. Navigation service from Apple lacks a function similar to Street View on Google Maps. It is advisable to add the ability to plan a route in several stages, which will take into account the way to the hotel, and is estimated at about fuel consumption.

Wallet

It is rumored that in 2016 Apple Pay payment system learns to send money from user to user through iMessage. This feature would be very useful.

Also in the Wallet, you can add the ability to store an electronic version of a driver's license, health insurance cards and other documents.

Notes

Already in iOS 9.3 application for note taking can be installed to record the password security and Touch ID. As additional improvements can be offered to users to share notes with specific contacts or the whole group.

Phone

With the arrival of iOS 9 system "dialer" I became much smarter. Now that you have the caller is not in your contacts list, the phone automatically scans the iCloud mail and trying to establish the identity of the caller. In any case, the identification of an unknown number through Safari with a special button directly from the Phone application would be helpful.

mail

The users iOS devices and Mac computers was nice to be able to activate the "Do not disturb" mode only for e-mail client. Many will want to take a break from work and not be distracted by notifications from Friday evening until Monday morning.

Music

Problems and directions to improve Apple Music discussed many times, but I believe the introduction of the application Shazam music service functionality is not a word was said. Of course, Shazam app copes with its task and supports gestures 3D Touch, but it is hardly an icon on the home screen of your iPhone, and it certainly is not in the dock. Apple Music is used much more often, so the appearance of the application service strimingovogo track recognition function would be logical.

FaceTime

FaceTime video messages lack the ability to exchange. To implement it, there are no technical obstacles. Imagine the situation, when you call for the FaceTime, but the called party does not accept the call. In this case, the system offers to send a message via iMessage, but it would be much nicer and more effective to record a video in which you tell us about the reasons for the call, transferring their thoughts maximum volume.
