List of 65 Hidden Features Of iOS 10

Updated on

What did you think of Apple’s iOS 10 announcement earlier this week? Did it surpass your expectations or fall short? Whatever your answer, I have some good news for you, as it turns out that iOS 10 packs in lots of features that Apple neglected to inform us about at its WWDC conference. Seriously, if you were one of the lucky ones and able to watch the live stream. Then you already know that this year’s iOS update is the largest improvement to the firmware ever seen and expectations are extremely high.

iOS 10 Hidden Features

If you watched the iOS 10 reveal, then you will remember when Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior VP of software engineering took to the stage. It was as almost as if, he instantly started talking about the ten most high-profile additions and improvements to be found in the new iOS 10 operating system. However, there were some things he forgot to mention, and they were the seemingly never ending list of less notable additions that make up the majority of iOS 10.

If you’re asking yourself “But, if he left them out it must mean they’re not important, right?” Well, the answer to that is no how can 60+ software additions be unimportant, especially when Apple is calling iOS 10 the “biggest iOS release ever”.

What are these Hidden iOS 10 Features?

OK, to start with Federighi, did not mention that with iOS 10 a user now has the ability to customize read receipts on a per contact basis in iMessage. He also left out the fact that all stock apps can now be deleted and then reinstalled from the App Store anytime a user wants too. And he also forgot to mention that the Control Center can now make use of 3D Touch, oh and Game center can be removed.

And here’s what you’ve been waiting for, the list of the 65 to be exact iOS 10 features Apple told you absolutely nothing about at WDDC.
