Rejoice! You can finally remove default apps from the iPhone

Yesterday, the world saw the newest operating systems and features coming to the Apple ecosystem at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC).

“iOS 10 is our biggest release ever, with delightful new ways to express yourself in messages, a native app for home automation and beautifully redesigned apps for music, maps, and news that are more intuitive and more powerful, making everything you love about your iPhone and iPad even better”, said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering.

Voicemail transcript is a new feature that was announced for iOS10. But, starting from iOS 10, Apple will enable its users to remove those default apps.

Running iOS 10 beta 1 on the iPhone and iPad, 9to5Mac demoed 75 new iOS 10 features in a video that’s over 30 minutes long, and you simply have to watch if you’re curious about what iOS 10 has to offer. The other feature of the iOS 10 is that the user can reflect their mood over the options to animate on the screen.

Of course, there are some consequences when uninstalling these applications, and as Apple’s support page for the feature states, they aren’t really that big of a deal. For example, developers will now be able to use Siri to interact with apps using just voice commands.

At a time when sales of its flagship iPhone are slowing, Apple seemed determined to show that it can make its gadgets indispensable, or at least as useful as its competitors’ products. The People feature automatically groups your photos into Albums based on who is in them. Monberg argues that Google’s proactive digital assistant provides more useful reminders, recommendations and tips on local weather or traffic, largely because it reads his email and other data from his Android phone and crunches it with sophisticated algorithms on Google’s powerful servers.

Moreover, the app allows users to edit the location. That’s why, he said, Monday’s announcements were all about “software and services, fast and furious“. The messaging app, for instance, will let users alter the size of the bubbles surrounding the text to help convey the feelings underlying the words. Whatever issues you are having, this is always to be expected with the first couple of betas.

Among the new Apple Watch apps is Breathe, which will encourage users to take periodic breaks throughout the day for breathing exercises.
