Typically, apps like photos, maps, messages, etc. get benefits in most system updates. But the main screen and notification center is rare to see changes in them, but this is not the case with iOS 10, as they have received many updates, which we review in this article.
Proactive screen
In the current iOS 9, when you swipe to the far right if your device is in English, or the left if it is in Arabic, you find the page for the Proactive Siri feature that contains application suggestions and some other information. In iOS 10, this command has been expanded to also include swipes on the lock screen, as well as the addition of a widget to appear with Siri suggestions, and it comes with a more attractive design. Apple has also added a number of widgets to its official applications such as weather and notes, in addition to changing the shape of the "Edit" button at the bottom to make it a large circle that is easy to press. Of course, you can still search for it through the search box above.
An additional widget capability
Now there is a button to expand and collapse the widget. When you press the expand button, it increases in size with the addition of new options. The feature works well with Apple applications. Just wait and see what the developers will do with the feature.
Search from notification center
Now you can use SpotLight search in Notification Center. Where you can click on the search bar at the top or drag down to start searching (and you can also drag the task center a little from the top until the search bar appears and then leave it and go to the search box directly) this will enable you to search for anything while you are inside any application without having to leave it .
Quick Actions feature update
This is the feature that shows additional options when using XNUMXD Touch on the icon of any application. Where it has been developed to appear as a widget of the application along with additional options. For example, when you press and hold the Weather app, you find yourself in front of a widget that shows you the weather directly, and ESPN Sports provides live match updates. It looks like the XNUMXD Touch feature will increase its use dramatically.
XNUMXD Touch works in Spotlight search
In iOS 10, when searching for any app or contact in Spotlight, you can press deeply on it to summon Quick Options as well as a widget.
Interact with notifications from Notification Center
Just like a lock screen. You can interact with any notification directly from the notification center, whether by viewing the complete messages, chatting, or any other feature that the app developer adds. In the case of devices that contain XNUMXD touch, the subject is applied by deep pressure. In the case of previous devices, you drag the notification to give you the option to view or delete it.
Clear all notifications
If you want to delete all notifications at once, you can do so by deep pressing the "x" at the top and it will give you the option to delete all notifications. The feature is only available on devices with XNUMXD Touch.
Update folder and app effects
The effects for opening folders and applications have changed as they become better and more eye-pleasing. Also, the display of folders has changed, so its background becomes glass instead of the old display where you can see your background clearly.
Ability to delete “hide” system applications and download them from the store
Most of Apple's apps are now on the App Store, and that's great news in two ways. The first is that applications can be updated individually without the need for a full system update and this may increase application updates. The second is that the applications can finally be removed from the Home screen (actually it is hidden, not deleted. Because all system applications share the same basic code, you cannot delete them permanently), but you can remove them from the Home screen if you do not like it, and this is followed by wiping the user data stored in these applications And prevent the application from working until you restore it from the software store. It is worth noting that this will not provide you with a lot of extra space as “Craig Federighi” says that all applications only use 150 MB from the memory. Personally, I tried scanning compass and clock apps and finding friends. This only saved me close to one megabyte.
Here is a list of programs that you can "hide":
Note: Deleting the mail application will prevent you from clicking on any mail sending link, and deleting the weather application will prevent you from asking Siri about the temperature and so on. Deleting “hide” apps prevents basic benefits.
Finally, Apple has made a lot of tangible adjustments to the home screen and notification center in a way that makes using the system easier and enjoyable as well. In addition, the widget, on which a large part of the features is based, is open to developers to develop whatever they like. So expect to see unique uses for Home Screen and Notification Center in the future.
