New Features in iOS 10 – (yay, more emojis)

Cause couldn’t we all use more emojis.

iOS 10, released Tuesday, came with a few unheralded features. So who better to sing their praises than yours truly.

Among the new enhancements:

• Text to Emoji. In the messaging app, when you type text (e.g., “Yo Q, you up for some basketball?”) and activate the emoji keyboard, key words appear highlighted in yellow. Tap+hold the highlighted text to swap it for its emoji.
  (‘cept, why would type basketball and emojify it instead of just selecting the bball emoji from the get go?? hmmm?)
• Dude, Have You Seen My Car? Now Maps automatically puts a pin in where you parked (I know! Right!?).
• Search photos: Looking for something? Photos analyzes your images so you can find pics of Fido by typing ‘dog’ in the search bar.
• Delete Hide Default apps: Just like deleting your own apps; long+press the app and click on the x on the iOS apps you don’t use. The iNoying app is  hidden from view and any associated data, cleared.
• and, of course, these guys
