@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.
The emoji picker is super cool, and very smart piece of tech.
But... does it force a not so natural Emoji usage.
Use one: Word plus emoji
People tend to say this is a bit fishy π π‘ π .
Use two: Drop a smiley or two there just for fun.
And CAN'T wait to see you ππΎπ
Use three 'Pictionary'
And then the π π use, they're π us to replace words and π° our β² β what π« are saying.
(And then the new apple use, they're driving us to replace words and spend our time guessing what people are saying.)
A nice addition would be to either replace or add based on the length of the press.
@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.
@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?
Lots of semi-relevant products being updated.
Apple Maps is hardly relevant outside the US. Why bother with the Messages app if all the competitors will have similar features implemented by the time iOS 10 is out? And there's no Android iMessage, so I'm still not ditching Telegram for it, as shiny as it looks. tvOS basically just got less cumbersome. watchOS will now work. macOS with Siri? Really? Just so I can feel awkward talking to yet another machine in front of other people?
The only truly well conceived idea is having the watch care better for people on wheelchairs. The rest was just business gibberish IMHO.
Anyone else at all puzzled by the increasing number of features available on the lock screen pre-authentication? Unless I missed something, it's now possible to do some rather substantial mischief...anything from ordering an Uber to unlocking your front door. Hopefully there will be an authentication toggle...
For anyone who wants to download iOS10, you can use my Dropbox link. Open it on your iOS device, click direct download, and then Install it. Once that's done, go to Software update, and it'll ask you to update your iOS to iOS 10. http://shr.ma/iOS10
Awesome stuff in iOS 10 especially its nice to open system apps for developers that's really good decision !!
but, now i think Apple needs to do some significant innovations with next OS instead of such cosmetic updates. There can be lots of things.
I really loved to see so many system apps opened to developers!
But I'm the only one who think the new message features are useless and ugly, even annoying? It's the opposite of apple clean and elegant design.
