This year’s keynote from Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference is
a wrap – but if you missed it, here’s a recap of the important bits you
need to know. For more details on each news item, click the links below
for an extended coverage. Kicking off the keynote, Apple CEO Tim Cook opens with a moment of silence to honor the victims of the shooting at a nightclub in Orlando on Sunday night. And then, we start.
iOS 10
Updated iMessage app
will be able to suggest emoji, send a range of new playful messages,
and is open to third party apps for paying and shopping within messages
Siri will be opened up to third-parties, giving it the power to send a WhatsApp, order an Uber, and so on
Alongside
a revamp for stock apps such as iMessage, Maps and Photos, users can
now delete the default apps to save homescreen real estate
Apple Music has been rebuilt with a cleaner, more intuitive design that takes cues from the old iTunes app and Spotify
Other functions include the phone lighting up to display notifications when you pick it up, and widgets for the lock screen
This is "the biggest iOS release ever for our users," said Craig
Federighi. He notes there are 10 major new features in the new OS. The
highlights include a redesigned lock screen with rich notifications,
quick interactions with apps, and expanded use of 3D Touch.
- A new "Raise to wake" feature will, as the name suggests,
wake the phone's lock screen when it's lifted to give you an overview of
notifications and updates. The new notifications look significantly
different and, with the use of a 3D Touch, you can respond to and
interact with the app sending them immediately. This is very much in
line with what Google's been doing with Android.
- The expansion of 3D Touch on the home screen includes widgets for apps
that don't require you launching the app at all. You'll be able to see
things like the latest sports scores with the ESPN app, and even get
into video highlights, without entering the app proper.
macOS
Macs have full Siri integration in the renamed macOS, including
file and internet search, and the ability to play music and make calls
Apple Pay comes to the web, meaning that you can pay for things in
Safari using your iPhone's TouchID or Apple Watch, which can also be
used to unlock your computer
Greater integration with other Apple devices through an iCloud Drive update, and new Universal Clipboard feature
The latest OS version will be called Sierra, with a focus on
continuity. For example, if you’re wearing an authenticated Apple Watch,
you can automatically unlock your laptop just by having that watch
nearby. It’s a neat little feature… if you own all the right Apple gear.
There’s also Universal Clipboard which lets you copy text from your
iPhone and paste on your Macbook, and an iCloud Drive to help offload
older files to make room for local documents.
OS X Sierra brings Apple Pay to desktop as well, with a new payment
feature that lets you authenticate the payment through your Apple Watch
or iPhone via continuity. Again, great for someone who has all the Apple
gadgets.
A few more organizational updates bring tabs to any apps, picture-in-picture capacity, and – yep – Siri on desktop. She’ll be available right on the dock.
Apple Watch, watchOS 3
Apple Watch gets a writing feature called ScribbleCredit:

Apps on the Apple Watch will update automatically in the
background, meaning they will open seven times faster than they
currently do
"Scribble" means you can now reply to messages on the Watch screen by writing out each letter at a time
The Watch interface and apps will also get updates, and will support Apple Pay
The Apple Watch is the company’s latest hardware pillar, so it’s no
surprise that it started the keynote with this platform. In an upcoming watchOS 3 update, app load speeds are up to seven times faster, and there is a new dock feature and control center like on iOS.
There are also new quick reply buttons with pre-written responses, as
well as “Scribble,” a handwriting support app. It even works in
Chinese!
In case of emergencies, there’s now an SOS mode that allows you to
hold the side button to call 911. If you’re in an international city,
holding SOS will also call the correct local emergency number (i.e. 999
in Hong Kong).
There are several new health apps as well, such as a breath
meditation program and a wheelchair-friendly mode to promote regular
exercises for handicapped users.
Oh, and Minnie Mouse is now available as a watch face in addition to Mickey from last year. Innovation, y’all.
The update is coming for free to general consumers this fall.
Apple TV , tvOS
Apple TV can now be controlled using an Apple TV Remote app, and an MFi game controller in addition to the Siri Remote
Enhanced search through Siri
Dark mode for the menu screen
Single sign-on for Apple TV and the apps saved to it
“The future of TV is apps” That what Eddy Cue, Apple Senior Vice
President of Internet Software and Services said about Apple’s tvOS at
last WWDC, when it introduced third party development on the device. The
platform has since increased its video channels offerings from 80 to
1,300.
With this year’s update, there will be a new remote app in case you
misplace the physical remote or need more remotes for multi-player
games.
If you hate syncing your cable account to access live TV or video on
demand on the Apple TV, the new tvOS has a single sign on mode that lets
you log in once to access all the channels available from your cable
provider.
Swift Playground
You didn’t think we’d get away with WWDC without mentioning Swift, right? Apple introduced Swift Playground,
a new iPad app to help kids learn how to code in Swift right from the
iPad. The game-like app lets you learn different principles, like loops
or turning specific features (such as gravity or gyroscoping) on and
off.
Cook thinks it will help make learning more accessible to millions
around the world, but of course that’s provided you can afford to buy an
iPad to start.
Swift Playground will arrive with the developer preview today, and
will arrive with the public beta and general public with the same
timeline as iOS 10. The app will be free to download.
Photos, Maps, Music, News, Home, Phone
For Photos, you’ll be able to see a map-view of where your photos were taken Instagram-style, and Apple will incorporate facial recognition to sort through who’s in your images, Google Photos-style. It’ll also start creating movies based on photos you took during a recent period of time, if you’re into that kind of thing. With Maps,
there are new recommendation shortcuts for you to find exactly what you
want from Maps, such as cuisine types in a restaurant search mode. You
can also search for nearby stops on a map route such as a gas station or
restaurants and see how long it’ll take to detour over there.
Maps will be open to developers, too. For example, now you can book
your dinner reservation from the map through a third party app like
OpenTable, then book a ride to go there all via Maps. For Music, Eddy Cue says it will get redesigned from the ground up
with larger photos, and better tabs to find music you’ve recently added
or music you’ve downloaded. There’s a lyrics tab and a daily-curated
playlist too, Spotify-style. Hmm, looks like there is an ongoing trend
for this keynote.
News
gets a redesign too, which shares the same aesthetic as the new Music
look with the giant font to separate each sections. You can now
subscribe to newspapers and magazines from the News app as well. HomeKit gets a new Home app
so you can control all your internet of things gear. You can even say
good morning to Siri so she can set the house ready for you to get
going. If someone rings a doorbell, you can get a notification, view a
livestream of the front door, and unlock right from the homescreen.
And get this: If you’re the kind of person who uses your smartphone
to actually make phone calls, now you can get voicemail transcriptions!
Third party providers can also help detect spam phone numbers to avoid
picking up annoying calls. VoIP can be integrated into the lockscreen,
too. iMessage gets a fun update with
invisible ink, letting users tap to unblur a new photo or text. There
are new text stylizations that lets you add animations as well, such as
“smash,” “gentle,” or “loud.”
Emoji get supersized too – three times bigger in fact – and iMessage
can recommend emoji to use or turn all your words into an emoji. What a
time to be alive.
As you may have anticipated by now, Messages are open to devs, too.
The developer preview for iOS 10 will be available today, and a
public beta will come out in July. The public rollout will arrive in the
fall.
Apple’s WWDC this year was full of incremental updates to OS’s for the
Mac, iPhone, Watch, and TV, as well as moves to open up services like
Siri and iMessage to developers. A lot of the changes were geared toward
moving between Apple devices easier — Siri is now on desktop, and Apple
Pay will now work on Safari, for example. There were also a bunch of
redesigns: new notifications and lock screen interactions for iOS; a new
command center for the (faster) Apple Watch; and changes to Apple News,
Music, Maps, and other services.
macOS - New Name , More Continuity Across Devices , Siri
OS X is now macOS,
and this iteration will be called Sierra. The public beta will launch
in July with the final version coming in the fall. One of the big
focuses of the new OS is continuity across devices. Craig Federighi
demonstrated a feature called Universal Clipboard, which allows users to
copy and paste across multiple Apple devices. You can also save your Mac desktop to the cloud and access it from a different computer using iCloud drive.
There are other smaller updates as well, including a storage-saving
measure that moves old files to the cloud and a way to unlock your Mac
using your Apple Watch.
Sierra will also bring Siri to the desktop.
Siri will be accessible in the dock as well as in the top-right corner
near Spotlight. You’ll be able to use voice commands to find files,
search the web, send messages, and other standard Siri functions.
Apple pay is coming to the web
You’ll be able to use Apple Pay
to make payments online through Safari. Authentication will work
through TouchID, either through your phone or Apple Watch, eliminating
the need to type credit card details. Apple Pay is available in the US,
UK, Canada, Australia, and Singapore, and will be rolling out to
Switzerland, France, and Hong Kong.
The apple watch gets faster and ADDS new features
watchOS 3 brings a host of updates, but perhaps most
importantly, it loads apps seven times faster than the previous OS,
thanks to background refreshing and keeping apps stored in memory.
Navigation supposedly will be easier on the new OS, too. The side button
can be used to access a "dock," which allows wearers to scroll through
their apps, and the Watch will act a little more like an iPhone with a
new Control Center. A swipe up on the Watch allows wearers to quickly
switch into airplane mode or Do Not Disturb, just like the iPhone.
Other
new features include a keyboard called "Scribble" that wearers can use
to respond to a message. Instead of typing or dictating a response, they
can draw out each individual letter. It works in either English or
Chinese. Apple Watches will also come with a new SOS feature, which
activates when the side button is held down and calls 911 and sends
location information to first responder and emergency contacts. It'll
also share users' medical ID, which displays their allergies, age, and
existing medical conditions. The feature works internationally and will
call country-specific emergency numbers, so long as the watch is
tethered to a phone or is connected to Wi-Fi.
Apple emphasized fitness with the introduction of new
activity-specific watch faces, a meditation app called "Breathe," and
activity sharing to view friends' fitness levels.
iOS gets a slew of updates
Craig Federighi called the iOS changes "the biggest iOS release ever for our users," including complete redesigns for Music and Maps,
new notifications, and an expanded role for 3D Touch. A new feature
called "raise and wake" will wake the lock screen when you lift your
phone, revealing redesigned notifications that you can interact with
using 3D touch.
Apple news gets a redesign and supports subscriptions
Apple News now features over 2,000 publications
and over 60 million monthly readers. Apple is rolling out an all-new
design that features clear sections, including Top News, Trending, and
Sports. The app pulls together new sections based on your reading
habits, and includes a Featured Stories section with editor picks. Apple
News now also features subscriptions, which means you can subscribe and
read full newspapers and magazines from the app. It will also send
breaking news notifications and deliver them to your lock screen.
Apple music gets a discover playlist and a complete redesign
After
only a year of existence, Apple Music is getting a complete redesign.
New sections make it easier to navigate, including one section for
downloaded music and another for recently added songs and albums. Apple
also appears to be coming directly for Spotify with its new "discovery
mix" that tailors a playlist to listeners’ tastes. There will also be
daily curated playlists and new sections to help users find new music
curated by Apple’s music editors. You can also read song lyrics now.
Maps is Redesigned with Navigation in Mind
Maps
is getting a whole new feel. Its redesign will show more of a map when a
user opens the app. Users can also book rides through Maps, pay for
them with Apple Pay, and make restaurant reservations. Navigation is
getting easier too, with directions that include traffic. Maps is also
coming to CarPlay, which will show traffic and offer alternative routes,
as well as precise navigation right from a car’s display.
Messages Get snazzier
Apple is revamping iMessage to include bigger emoji
as well as suggestions for turning certain keywords into emoji. People
can share songs directly from Apple Music and write notes to one another
in their own handwriting. There are animated effects — like strobe
lights, balloons, and confetti — and invisible ink hides messages until
they’re swiped over. Invisible ink! Developers are also getting access
to Messages and can develop apps like stickers. iMessage is turning into
some kind of Snapchat-WhatsApp-Facebook Messenger conglomerate.
Photos takes on google photos
Photos
is being updated with new features to help you organize and manage your
collection. You can organize your collection automatically by person
using facial recognition. The app is also adding Memories, which bundles
together photos according to events and locations. You can also create a
montage set to music automatically from Memories, much as you’re able
to do in Google Photos.
Voicemail transcription comes to iOS 10
iOS 10 will now feature voicemail transcription, which will
automatically transcribe voicemails and offer them up like texts. In
addition, iOS is taking on spam calls: the iOS will support APIs that
can alert you to possible spam calls and warn you before you pick up.
With VoIP, you’ll be able to see caller ID right on the lock screen.
tvOS is all grown-up
tvOS is less than a year old but
now hosts 1,300 video channels and over 6,000 apps. That library is
going to be expanding shortly: Dish’s Sling is coming to tvOS today; Fox
Sports Go is coming later this summer; and Molotov, a French TV
service, is coming next month. Apple is rolling out a new Apple TV
remote app, which will have all the functionality of the... Apple TV
remote. You’ll be able to use touch for navigation, Siri for voice
command, and the phone’s built-in sensors for gaming control. Plus,
you’ll have your trusty keyboard. Siri will now be able to search
through the service’s 650,000 movies and shows, as well as live channels
by name or category ("German high school comedy from 1962, please").
You’ll also now be able to use Siri to search in YouTube.
Apple’s also introducing a single
sign-on system that lets your log into all of the network apps at once.
You’ll have a page that shows you all the channels you have access to.
Download a channel app onto your phone, and it’ll automatically appear
on your tvOS. Seamless integration, folks.
And Apple quickly introduced two kits for developers: ReplayKit,
which lets you live broadcast gameplay or save it for later, and
HomeKit, which will let you control all the devices in your house,
including tvOS. tvOS will roll out in a free upgrade this fall.
Siri is opening up to app developers
Siri,
which now services over 2 billion requests per day, is now opening up
to developers. That means you’ll be able to ask Siri to send a message
through WeChat, ask it to call an Uber, search for photos on Pinterest
and start and stop your workout apps all with voice command.
What's next
WWDC was packed with updates, many of which seem minor on
their own, but taken together could make it easier navigate Apple’s
ecosystem. With the Watch, incremental changes in speed and the command
center could go a long way toward making it a more appealing device, and
the new HomeKit hub could make connected appliances more attractive. It
remains to be seen how well all these services work outside the Apple
ecosystem, and whether opening up things like Apple Pay and Siri will be
enough to surmount the lead of companies like Amazon, which has been
aggressive about forming partnerships and developing frictionless ways
to purchase. And of course, we’ll still be waiting for the Apple car.
The best games releasing March 2016 for PC, PS4, Xbox One, and more! What do you plan on playing this month?
Here we have listed Top 10 Best
Addictive Games Of March 2016: For games lover we are here with the ten best addictive games that you will love to play again and again
in your PC. You can have a comprehensive look through
the list to know about the most addictive games of all time. So go
through the post to discover the games.
Much
akin to Apple’s world-renowned iMessage, Facebook Messenger, too, is an
immersive and constantly evolving communications platform. And, even
though we recently reported on a slew of Facebook Messenger tips and tricks you likely didn’t know
about, the platform has only continued to evolve — even within the last
few months, as Facebook has brought new and exciting features to the
table with each successive update.
Is the platform poised to compete with Apple’s iMessage, directly?
Probably not — and if that were ever the case, Apple would certainly put
an end to it. But it’s still an exciting, up-and-coming communications
platform in its own right — boasting plenty of room to grow, as Facebook
continues to introduce new features. In fact, many new features were
introduced at the company’s annual developers conference earlier this year.
So, what’s new as of today? Well, take a look for yourself — but also keep in mind, of course, that there’s plenty more to come.
1. Interact With a ChatBot
At the Facebook Developers Conference, the company announced that a
slew of new and intuitive, intelligent ChatBots would soon be coming to
its messenger platform. And while Facebook’s ChatBots certainly have a
long way to go, the company has jumped headfirst into this exciting new
way of interacting with messenger.
In the latest version of Facebook Messenger, you can search for
available ChatBots directly via the “To:” link when starting a new
message.
Certain media outlets, such as CNN and The Wall Street Journal,
have already released their own ChatBots — which are capable of
learning from your algorithms, interests, etc., in order to deliver the
most useful information directly to you. To view a complete list of
ChatBots that are currently available, you can visit this link.
2. Send a 15-Second Video
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, right? Well, if that’s
the case, then what’s a 15-second video worth? Probably a lot more,
needless to say, but I guess we’ll never know for sure..
While you’re out there trying to figure it out, though, perhaps you’d
like to send one of them to your contacts via Facebook Messenger? Most
of us know that we can send photos via messenger, already, but did you
know that you can also send 15-second video clips? When taking a photo
to send directly from the app, simply press-and-hold down on the shutter
circle in the center of the screen for up to 15-seconds, while you
record, and then tap send.
3. Play The Hidden Basketball Game
We learned that you can play chess with your contacts in Facebook
Messenger, but you likely didn’t know that there’s also a basketball
game that Facebook engineers have hidden deep within an unlikely area of
the messenger app.
To access it, simply send your contact a basketball emoji, and then
tap on it. The game, which, unfortunately, isn’t exactly like NBA 2K16
challenge or anything, should pop up almost instantly. Give it a try!
4. Transfer Files Through Messenger
No, we’re not just talking about photos and videos, but actual files,
too! Unfortunately, this feature appears to be reserved exclusively for
the web-based versions of Facebook and messenger.com; however, it’s fairly simple to attach files — such as Microsoft Word documents, for instance — to outgoing messages.
From the desktop Facebook website, simply click on the small paper
clip icon that appears when you use the pop up messenger interface. Or,
from the messenger.com interface, you can simply drag and drop files to send as attachments.
5. Supersize Your Like!
Let’s be honest here: Likes are a fun and easy way to express
ourselves, right? But sometimes the standard, itty-bitty little ‘like’
simply isn’t enough to get our point across. And therefore, super sizing
that bad boy might be just what the doctor ordered.
To do this, simply select and hold down on the blue thumbs up button
on the bottom, right-hand corner of the screen. Once it’s grown to an
acceptable size, you can just let go and it will send automatically..
Piece of cake..
