Since the release of iOS 10, everyone has been keen to mention its features such as an app Talks And application Safari وPrivacy وSmall changes وThings we should know And other articles that we have talked about here, as well as that most international and Arab websites have mentioned. But! What about Arab and Islamic changes? Is there any amendment made by Apple that concerns us Arabs and supports our language? In this article, we review these modifications.

1
Hijri calendarOne of the important changes is that Apple is adding the Hijri calendar directly to the lock screen. If you activate it from the settings, you will find it appear below the timings and the Gregorian calendar, even if your device is in English. The only negative point is that Apple has not yet provided a way to amend the Hijri calendar. For example, Apple appears in my device that today is July 10, which is the same as Shawwal 4, while the real time is 5 Shawwal. We expect Apple to complete the feature.

New Arab Voices: Do you not like the voice of "Majid" ?! This voice for Siri "Al Arabiya" as well as the vocal point for voice guidance "Voice Over"? Well, Apple heard you, and a new Arabic voice is now available, which is "Tariq", as well as a female voice, which is "Layla". In addition to this, Apple provided two improved quality of "Majid" voice, not one as before. Now choose what you want, whether Majid, Tariq or Leila.

Arabic NoticesA hidden but wonderful feature provided by Apple is that notifications in Arabic now appear from right to left. In the past, all notifications appeared from left to right, but now if there is an Arabic text, it will appear from the right, even if your notification is a mixture between Arabic and English, it will also appear from the right because it started in Arabic “If the notification starts in English, it will appear on the right.”

Arabic calligraphy size: It is not an explicit and direct change from Apple, but I noticed "personally" during my use that the size of Arabic calligraphy in "some" e-mails appears smaller than usual, and this may mean that Apple is making limited adjustments in the size of Arabic calligraphy, which I also noticed in some links on Facebook Will we see changes in the size of Arabic calligraphy ?!
