iOS 10.2 has gone official for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch and is currently rolling out for everyone. You can check if you’ve gotten it by heading to Settings, followed by General, and finally Software Update.
Apple’s latest OS brings a ton of features and security fixes to the table. One of the major ones is the introduction of the brand’s new TV app which is available only in the US as of now. The tool replaces Videos and serves as a hub for all your TV shows and movies spread across multiple apps. There’s also an Emergency SOS feature under the General menu that contacts crisis services if the sleep/wake button is pressed 3 or 5 times rapidly.
The latest version of iOS also offers up more than 100 fresh emoji which encompass new faces, animals, sports, professions, and food. Apple’s also gone ahead and redesigned existing emoji to add more detail. Moreover, Live Photos are now more stable and deliver faster frame rates.
