Apple releases 4 iMessage apps ahead of iOS 10

One can use the collection of emoji stickers from Apple’s redesigned Messages app under a tab with the App Store icon.

The launch of iOS 10 at WWDC this summer turned out to be a pretty good deal for iOS developers and designers as it afforded them an opportunity to increase income by coming up with new features for iMessage which seemed to be the key focus of Apple.

If you’re already running the watchOS 3 beta, you can grab beta 2 from inside the dedicated Watch app on your iPhone.

The Classic Mac pack contains a series of black and white icons originally created by graphic designer Susan Kare in the 80s.

With updates that will allow third-party extensions, feedback, message effects and an emojify feature, Apple will be hoping to keep users on its own platform. To top it off, these sticker packs can also be used in the upcoming macOS Sierra for Macs, iDownloadBlog noted. Without a doubt, there are going to be a lot of sticker apps when iOS 10 releases, so it makes sense Apple is kicking off the trend.

The firm has released a series of sticker packs; Smileys, Hearts, Hands and, Classic Mac. In fact, Apple touts it as “the biggest iOS release ever”. When it comes to messages, the tech giant promised that iPhone and iPad users will be able to see rich link previews, complete with artwork. Users can also peel and place them on photos, chat bubbles, or double up on other stickers. Also noteworthy is the handwriting recognition feature, Tech2 noted.

While iOS 10 didn’t bring ground-breaking changes that we saw in some of the earlier iOS releases, the new firmware will nonetheless bring meaningful updates that Apple fans should enjoy.

In a move which marks an update to this forthcoming feature in iOS 10 version, Apple has revealed in a recent announcement that it has rolled out four new animated emoji sticker packs into the App Store.

A report published in Vine Report informed, “Apple has recently released four new add-ons for its Messages app”.

The iMessage was first demonstrated during the Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference last month.
