Earlier this week, Apple released iOS10 - arguably the most magnificent and maddening iPhone operating system yet. At first, I wasn’t keen on the update at all…
Apparently, the reason I never cared about Facebook or iOS changing is because I was saving all my rage for this stupid iPhone update

… but that may be due to the fact it took four hours to download, one hour to install and once my phone finally booted up I had to no idea how to unlock it. Then, I found a groundbreaking, life changing feature that changed my opinion entirely.

So, I thought I’d see what else iOS10 has to offer and share them with you guys in my Friday Finds!
Apps
Lockscreen Widgets: Turn an app into a widget on that irritating screen you now accidentally swipe to all the time.
Remove Unwanted Apps: bye stocks!
Apple Mail
Fast Unsubscribe: finally!
Unread Only: duh.
Apple Maps
Find My Car: If you ever forget where you’ve parked - and we both know you do - let Siri drop a location pin thing so it can direct you. You rely on robots, you are nothing.
Avoid Tolls: OR aim for tolls on purpose because you’re a masochist.
Location Suggestions: just add an event to your calendar and Google Maps will find the best place to go. ROBOTS WILL RULE US ALL.
Apple Music
Optimised Storage: You can now remove downloads to create more space because you literally have 3MB left.
Apple News
Notifications: For breaking news and the sort, I don’t know I don’t use Apple News.
Camera
Don’t Stop The Music: because it was ridiculous that the camera stopped the music at all.
Clock
Bedtime Reminders: Okay, this thing is actually pretty great. Simply enter what time you go to bed and how many hours you wish to sleep for. Then completely ignore it and sleep forever.
Home
Control Stuff: You can turn enabled stuff on and off I dunno.
iMessage
Read Receipts: Request notifications regarding when your iMessages are read. Get arrested for being a stalker.
Image Search: Get JibJab it’s hilarious, then you can click on the app store icon and annoy everyone.
Weird Images: like a fireball, kisses and hearts and I hate them.
Invisible Ink: Can be used on text and photos. Great for surprising or traumatising friends.
Contour Emojis: literally the worst thing about iOS10. Although replacing words with emojis is like creating an uncrackable code.
Digital Ink: I’ve literally only used this to draw penises so far. And hermaphrodite planes.
Tapback: I’ve only used this once but I imagine everyone I know is going to have a lot of thumbs up soon.
Phone
Possible Spam: because 90% of phone calls these days are PPI claims.
Photos
Organiser: Photos are now automatically placed in relevant folders so you can never find them again.
Mini-Movies: It’s also gone all-Facebook video on us.
Siri
Actually Talk Like A Person: Siri is ~apparently~ no longer a moron so you can talk to it normally. You can also use WhatsApp and Uber through Siri now.
Water Detection
Don’t Bathe or Swim With Your iPhone: Whilst the iPhone 7 and 7 Plus are water-resistant, other iPhones are now. Hopefully, you already knew that but apparently Apple thinks we don’t so they’ve added a warning and instructions on how to deal with water damage.
