I'm a little curious about how Siri works.
Like for fun I set my Siri voice to Australian English because I like the accent. I'm in the US. But ever since I did I've had some points where Siri misunderstood what I said. Thing is when you change the voice to Australian it changes the Language to Australian and I am wondering if this actually affects how she hears my voice. I can't set the voice to be Australian and the language to United States which sucks. So I had to change back to the American voice which isn't as cool. I hate it. Why can't I change the language separate from the voice like this? Why even have separate options in cases where it's locked to one?
Just a stupid observation.
Also as for the camera access on the lock screen, I'll just say before I rarely needed to access the camera from there (Especially with Control Center) so the only time it would be used is when I was trying to open control center. So I'm glad it's changed.

Type something. Hold on the up arrow to change the style. There's bubble effects and you can tap on screen to go through 5 full screen effects. Shooting star is the 5th one.

Yes.
Ugh, wonder what the issue was before. I would love for that to come back.

My iPad Mini 3 works much faster with iOS 10 compared to 9. I usually have UI slowdown/delay when switching from one app to another.
What's plan?
In the expanded view of a notification ("View"), there's an X button in the top right corner. Intuitively, I would expect that button to simply close the expanded view and do nothing else. However, it also removes the notification. This feels kinda wrong to me.
I guess the idea is that the user has already seen the full notification, so there's no need to keep it around. But it is actually possible to dismiss the expanded view without deleting the notification by tapping the blurred background above or below the notification.

Serious WTF there. They moved the useful music control to a separate pane, and left that huge useless button.

Not a fan of the enlarged text on the screen when you're listening to something.
Seriously, what the hell were they thinking?
I wonder the same about removing the option to group notifications by app. Why? Just why?

Seriously like the new apple music app but the aesthetic is just so different from everything else on iOS, like its from another developer entirely
Bingo.
It looks like a fun and bubbly design, but it's not very intuitive and formfitting compared to the rest of iOS.

I thought the font was too big for News and Music but got used to it over time. Doesn't really bother me anymore.
The app works pretty well but I miss the matching backgrounds.

Great contrast, Apple UI designers.
This looks fine on my phone, the yellow is very readable and not blown out/over-saturated like this pic shows.
EDIT: Probably worse if you have a brighter background actually.
Swipe the notifications upwards. They disappear fairly easily.

Yes, it's only that bad with a white background.
Has anybody else had the Genius iMessage app just completely not work? It just shows the icon, but it won't launch for me.
Also: what have you guys found to be the best weather widget for iOS 10? The app I use now, Dark Sky, for some reason only shows the weather for the next hour, but I really want to be able to see in a pinch if it will rain at all during the day.

tap on Now Playing to bring up album art, scroll up from there to show up next.
hint: turn off lyrics unless you want to see the lyrics for that song, or you have to scroll through the lyrics before getting to Up Next.

Spacing on Apple News on the iPhone SE is all wrong. The gigantic date overlaps the local temp across the top of the screen.

You were right. The actual alarm sound is much louder, and it did wake me up. I'm not used to ambient music like that, it kind of invaded my dream, but maybe I'll get used to it.
More interestingly, it seems that it is able to track your sleep to some degree, perhaps using the phone's accelerometer. If you click on the chart in Bedtime, it'll take you to the Sleep area of the Health app. in there you can see the raw data, and on mine it showed about when I actually put down the phone in bed, which was a fair bit later than what the Bedtime start time was set for.
I've been using the British female Siri voice for a year (because I'm not a fan of U.S. Siri at all), and generally she understands me, but I have noticed that when she doesn't, if I speak it with a British accent she often gets it. So I think there could be some association between the Siri voice and the expected input accent.
yes
If you have a lot of messages before upgrade, it will take a while before system could sort them all out and get them organized. Wait a while and it will be fine. Or you could disable iMessage in settings, try reopening the app and then turn it back on again.
Jesus,
battery is awful now
every major OS update. every time.
maybe you are new to iOS.
When you update to a major iOS revision, the phone has to go through every app and refresh/redownload as needed. This drains the battery, big time.
Then after a day or so, everything is up to date and battery life goes back to normal.
you are welcome.
Mmmm-Hmmm!!
Is anyone else have trouble getting their Bluetooth headphones to connect? I have an iPhone 6 and since I updated yesterday I have to turn my headphone off and on in the desperate hope that at some point my phone will recognize them. Even when it says they're connected I often don't get sound through them. Everything was fine until I upgraded to iOS 10, too.

plus with this year the photos too will be doing some data crunching in the background if you use that.
holy shit thanks for posting this. i didn't know you could turn off the 'press-home-to-unlock' thing. worst fucking part of ios10 haha
Yeah I wish audio controls were the first pane.
I'm disappointed full screen message effects require reduce motion to be off. I like the OS better without the springy windows.
I still get 3D in satellite view.
Notifications are just a terrible downgrade overall: can't be grouped, can't be acted upon directly (e.g., now you must open a pop-up to delete email), take up a huge amount of space, can't be down->up swiped away to dismiss.

Agreed, plus they look plain ugly, I really want Nougat style notifications.
I don't even know how people without 3D touch interact with them.
