Right lol? I still think iOS 10 on the 6s Plus models is a bit less snappier than iOS 9 tho.
Didn't have any issues with any of the iOS 10 betas tbh.
Got the Mario stickers. purchased the $1.99 Star Wars stickers as a tester. You only get 21 stickers. They are animated though.
On LINE the Star Wars sticker packs have 40. Just sayin'
Anyways, as happy as I am to see them improve iMessage/Messages, most people I know have already moved on to things like LINE or even Discord for the better features. And because they are more platform agnostic.

Definitely not an STD, as I'm a pure.
I'm probably not even going to bother updating my 6S Plus from iOS 10 beta, because come Friday when my Jet Black 128GB iPhone 7 arrives, this piece of shit 16GB is going to Gazelle. iOS 10 is amazing though.

What's this "double press"? I assumed we just press the home button to wake (leaving your finger there momentarily for TouchID authentication) and the phone unlocks. Is it different now? Or is it different only for non Touch ID phones that used to require a swipe?
Posting from the beta thread
That's definitely not normal. You should try either setting up TouchID again or setting up your phone as new.
This is a great idea. They already have you do all the TouchID stuff. No brainer
Holding your finger on TouchID no longer unlocks your phone. Well, it does unlock the phone but it does not enter the home screen if that makes sense. You have to tap again after your TouchID registers in order to actually go into the phone. This is a setting you can change.

Biggest issue I had with iOS10 beta was piss poor BT performance up until beta before GM. Think I'm done with betas.
It's fucking five years old. What'd you expect? It still works.

what time can i download it?
That's exactly what they're doing. A lot of the stock apps such as Mail, Maps, Calendar, etc. are now downloadable via the App Store. So that means you can delete them as well. The Home app is a new stock app with iOS 10 and they just pushed out a version 2.0 update on the App Store for it. So they are able to do this now... whether they will or wait for the bigger iOS releases to do so remains to be seen.

Deleting stock apps merely hides them. They still have to be updated via the OS updates.
They updated the Home app via the App Store and that's a new pre-installed app. I realize that's not 100% the same as something like the Mail app, but it still seems possible to me. Or maybe I'm totally wrong. It was just my assumption.
That's interesting, are you sure they updated the Home app?
Well uninstalling definitely doesn't actually uninstall the app. But maybe they also made it so that apps can be updated through the Store now. I sure hope so.

Where is the setting?
well, there's bound to be plenty of garbage, though.
IMDB added "iMessage" functionality. turns out it's "search for movie" -> "tap movie" and then it pastes the movie name and IMDB showtimes link into iMessage.
it's great for gif keyboards. certainly a better API than them being a 3rd party keyboard.
accessibility I believe.

Brilliant. Thanks. This is soooooo much better.

I was thinking, this is great functionality for GIF keyboard. Better than a third party keyboard for sure

My general rule (that's always held up) is don't install a version of iOS that's more than two releases past the original version that came with the iPhone. So the iPhone 5 came with iOS 6, so I wouldn't install past iOS 8 on it. The iPhone 5s came with 7.0, so 9.0 is the last release I'd put on it.
Installing iOS past two releases from what came with the phone is asking for slowness. Though they did improve backwards compatibility starting with 9.0, so you may be able to stretch it to 3 versions at this point.

My phone still dont see 10. where yall get it?
should be around 1pm est if its like previous years.
That's a completely different app not owned by Apple.
iOS 9 works great on an iPhone 5 so 3 releases isn't a stretch anymore. I'm getting a 7 next month so I won't bother with iOS 10 on my 5.

"Hey Siri, what time are my alarms set for tomorrow morning?"
" You have no alarm set for tomorrow morning. You do have an alarm set for 6 AM. "
Why....

I didn't get any home app update nor do the apple apps have any versoning on the app store.
Are you sure it was the stock home app you got an update for?
Also, where did my gif iMessage app go? It was there shortly after I installed the GM last thursday. And how can you guys install new iMessage apps? I only see the default 4 apps that were there during beta days.

I really hope Proactive is better this time around. It was pretty much useless on iOS 9. They keep saying they don't need to do server-based machine learning to do Google Now type of stuff; that's fantastic, but let's see the results.
AFAIK the iMessage app store doesn't launch until the official release tomorrow.

REALLY strange because I just tried again and instead of seeing the list of 4 apps I do now have access to the iMessage app store.
Actually, now Touch ID is completely borked for me. I've always had problems where it randomly just will not work, even though I've done the recommended thing of setting all five finger profiles using the same digit.
But just now the store stopped recognizing my finger print, so I did a Power/Home button restart. It was still acting up after restarting so I deleted all my finger profiles and tried to re enter and now it's just saying my finger prints can't be read period.
EDIT: Well, never mind, it just randomly started working, can even unlock my phone now.

You can drag them from the picker to overlay them freely on someone's message.

I tried to install the GM using iTunes and got an error halfway through the install. Had to do a restore. Now 30 minutes later I am wondering if its even worth the trouble trying again or just waiting until tomorrow night for the official.

Can stickers be seen on none ios10 devices when sent? I know fireworks and other effects don't.
So if pressing it once doesn't take you to the home screen, then where does it take you? Does it leave it on the unlock screen so that you can review your notifications? That sounds nice, since I disliked missing them before and having to go to Notification Center to see what was missed. I figured it would take you directly to the home screen if there were no notifications to review though. Is that how it works now?
For anyone that has been using iOS 10 for a while, is this a welcome change? Does it feel like a good choice now that you are used to it?
When sending to another iMessage user, they get sent as non animating images. And are blown up a bit, as opposed to being placed wherever you put them and stuff. I've yet to see what happens when you send to someone who isn't on iMessage in general but I'd imagine it's pretty similar to that.

They show up as just an image. No overlay

Thanks guys. Thought as much.
same goes for these finger drawings / heartbeat thingies.
they just arrive as a static image. iOS 9 can't properly process these kinds of messages, so i guess there's a 'fallback' option that just displays a static placeholder jpg
