There are many innovations, but many do not know exactly how they simplify the use of devices. We have collected the most interesting features and explained why they are so useful.
Siri works with third-party apps
Why is it cool. To call a taxi with Uber, you don't even have to open the app and unlock your iPhone. Suffice it to say, "Hey Siri, order a car with Uber." Also, messages are sent in messengers and calls are made via VoIP telephony. The potential of this innovation is huge, and we will find out all its charms only some time after the release of iOS 10.
Separate application for smart home control
Why is it cool. Imagine: you come home, and the light is on, the air conditioner is on, the kettle is boiling water. Magic? Almost a reality. Back in 2014, Apple released HomeKit, a special toolkit for controlling home gadgets using the iPhone and iPad.
Home brings your activities together and lets you create custom profiles. For example, you leave home, activate the Work profile, and unnecessary devices are turned off. And vice versa: you return home, turn on the home mode, the smart light comes on, the kettle has boiled, the thermostat has cooled the room.
For manufacturers, this will be an incentive to make home appliances compatible with smartphones and tablets, and for us, users, to buy smart home devices.
QuickType keyboard
Why is it cool. When communicating, you will not need to manually enter an email address or phone number - iOS 10 understands from the context what information you want to send. You write: "Here is my mail" - and the keyboard itself substitutes the address. Or: "Call the number" - and the keypad suggests your phone number. It would seem a trifle, but how much time it saves during correspondence.
Smart search in the Photos app
Why is it cool. Let's say you want to find pictures of a car. Search for the word "car" and the application shows pictures of cars. This works with other subjects as well. Considering how many photos accumulate on our smartphones, this will significantly speed up the search.
Unified clipboard between macOS and iOS 10
Why is it cool. A single clipboard between macOS and iOS devices will allow you to seamlessly work with documents. For example, we made a slide in Keynote for iOS, copied it and added it to a file on Mac without unnecessary gestures. You can do the same with fragments of text and images.
System cleaning
Why is it cool. Most users will no longer need special system cleaning utilities that cost a lot of money. Old files will be uploaded to iCloud Drive, Safari and Mail cache will be deleted as needed, Trash will be cleaned every month. Now you don't have to worry about free disk space.
These are the main, but not all, useful features of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra. We continue to carefully study the latest versions of operating systems and find new useful features. Don't miss our next articles.
