Update All that’s New on iOS 10 5th Beta Version

Apple released the 5th and the latest iteration of the iOS 10 beta and for macOS, watchOS 3 and tvOS. Thus, we inch closer to the final release as September arrives, with maybe another beta release.

The first few betas gave us glimpses of exciting new features and the bugs that were present in the first few betas are clearing as Apple fixes issues with subsequent beta releases.

In the iOS beta 5, iOS’ interaction issues with Apple TV, Bluetooth, iMEssage, Phone, Wallet apps, in-app purchases on App Store and accessories issues have been fixed. So, users can comfortably use the iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case without fearing any device panic.

The new features on iOS 10 with beta 5 are –

A new lock sound has been added which sounds like a closing door

Facial recognition data will be reprocessed, thus all the named, favourite and merged face data in the Photo app will be reset

A new Output icon can be viewed in the Control Center, Music app and other locations of iOS. The headphones icon has been replaced with a triangle with sound waves

The widgets panel is accessible by swiping to the right and displays dates on all devices, it also has a darker background

A new clock sound has been added

Home section has been removed from the Settings app from the iPhone but is retained on the iPad

Today view has date and day

Swift Playground, the “learn to code” app for kids arrives as parts 1 and 2 on the beta 5. There are a few more additional challenges than the ones introduced at the WWDC 2016. Users can create their own playgrounds using blank templates, create a blank playground or open playgrounds in Xcode.
