Apple Opens Siri to Third-Party Developers

Therefore you can easily understand how useful it is going to be for a number of users. In fact, the only ones you can’t remove are the App Store, Camera, Activity, Wallet, Find iPhone, Health, Messages, Phone, Safari and Settings – most of which are core functions that you’ll want to have available. The app will actually stay on the device; re-installing it won’t download anything, and will instead simply make the app visible again.

“There are over 6,000 apps to enjoy on your Apple TV including over 1,300 video channels, which are even more fun to watch with the new Siri features combined with single sign-on”.

Other areas that iOS 10 has also updated include the Phone app, Apple Home, Apple News and Apple Music, among others.

The third update also involved Siri – it has been further integrated into the keyboard so it can help suggest extra information when you’re jabbing out a message.

To the music lovers, iOS 10’s simple and intuitive redesigned music system, makes it even easier to enjoy your favorite songs.

Another feature on MacOS is auto-unlock that allows MacOS users to unlock their MacBook securely by just wearing their Apple Watch. This also frees up the companies building those devices to do what they do best: make tiny modules that let you remotely turn on your lights.

The latest version of iOS will be known as macOS Sierra and will also include a shared clipboard, enabling content to be shared conveniently between connected Apple devices. This is the same reason why stock iOS apps receive new features when the complete iOS version is upgraded. In iOS 10 you can ask Siri to interact with other apps such as sending a message through WeChat or making a call in Skype or schedule a ride with Uber.

IPhone and iPad owners will be able to copy text or pictures on their devices and paste them into a document on their Macs in a feature Apple is dubbing Universal Clipboard.

Apple didn’t mention the change in its big Keynote address on Monday but it’s confirmed on the support site, which has a list of removable apps. We will share more details as soon as company bring something new for their customers.

Apple Maps has also been redesigned into a more proactive application. This works hand-in-hand with the Photos app which allows it to create memories from a collection of photos similar to Google Photos.
