iOS
10.2 sixth beta has just been released by Apple to the developers and
public beta testers. This came a few days following the fifth beta of
iOS 10.2's release, and a month after the iOS 10.1 was given, which was
the first iOS 10 major update. Now, the registered developers can
download the iOS 10.2 sixth beta from the Apple Developer Center or OTA
with the correct installation of configuration profile.
The iOS 10.2 brings new emoji
like drooling face, clown face, palm face, selfie, shark, owl, pancakes,
croissant, butterfly and avocado among others. Aside from that, a
hundred more new emoji are reported to be available in both female and
male genders, including the current emoji that are redesigned to add
more detail, making them appear more realistic.
iOS 10.2 also includes new
Music sorting options, new wallpapers and buttons for Shuffle and
Repeat, an option for preserving camera settings and the official TV app
among others. According to reports, the TV app works as an
Apple-designed TV guide, which aims to simplify the TV watching
experience, allowing the users to find new movies and TV shows to watch.
Meantime, the iOS 10 has been
considered by Apple as the company's biggest release ever for the iOS
users. The said OS brought a Siri SDK for developers, a redesigned lock
screen, a "Home" app for HomeKit users, an overhauled Messages app,
redesigned Maps and Apple Music apps as well as new facial and object
recognition features in Photos, MacRumors reported.
Meanwhile, reports suggest
that there may likely or unlikely be a fix on iOS 10.2 regarding the
iPhone shutdowns. Instead, it appears to lean more towards that
direction, pointing to a battery replacement for the affected iPhone 6s
handsets.
