iOS 10 Tidbits: Individual Read Receipts, Wake Alarm, Music Storage Optimization, and More

[tgt]

Would someone test something for me please.

1. Enable Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Increase Contrast -> Darken Colours
2. Open Mail
3. Swipe left on a message to reveal the actions
4. Let me know whether the More ellipsis is easily distinguishable from the background. It should be white, but Darken Colours in iOS 9 caused it to become a similar grey to the background and thus hard for me to see. A screenshot would be appreciated.

This isn't just an issue in Mail, but many apps that use white text on a coloured background since the text becomes grey and thus stands out less from the background. It's been an accessibility issue for me since iOS 7 (I think) and remains unfixed in iOS 9. I'm hoping it'll be fixed by the time iOS 10 is released if it isn't in this beta and so I'll update my bug report if it remains broken.

Umm did I miss something what can you control look and feel wise? I don't consider being able to delete stock apps a way to control look and feel. I was hoping they would let you move icons were you want (no auto arrange top left) let you change the notification sound for any app, and let you set third party apps as the default app for that function. Throw in a winter board type app to set icon themes and I'd be a happy iPhone user. Pretty simple tweaks that for some reason apple keeps avoiding. Not loving that the ui look is getting very disjointed the music app fonts, new notification look = yuk. At least Androids material design is consistent and fairly clean.

So much for trying to save space when deleting useless apple apps. BAD APPLE!

iMessage is the new BBM. They both resisted going multi platform so long that they became irrelevant.

BBM became irrelevant when BlackBerry became irrelevant.

Finally!! we can remove stock apps. Now thats reason to update right there. Celebration time!!

Kinda sad this is the best new feature for me.

Don't know if this was in iOS 9 but when selecting photos in the Photos app, swiping through a row and vertically is easier to mass delete screenshots for example. Can anyone confirm if this is in iOS 9?

Next thing I would like to be able to remove, and I mean actually delete, is unused languages. I saved 3GB's using monolingual to remove all unnecessary languages on my MBpro. Wonder what kind of space one could save doing this on IOS?

Read Receipts are always handy, but i'm just lucky Apple has a "ignore" option... Hope that will stay, because generally i just ignore them anyway.

You can do that!

OK, if that's the case then I can safely say that Apple Maps will become my go-to when 10 releases. Man, took them long enough.

Because there aren't all kinds of jobs that start after 9 AM and people somehow aren't able to go to sleep by 10 PM?

There are jobs like that, they are called "part-time" or "students"

There are jobs like that, they are called "part-time" or "students"

And plenty of other (full-time) jobs as well. (And to be fair, there are likely plenty of students out there who get less sleep on many occasions that people with all kinds of full-time jobs.)
