New Control Center

Updated user interface that gives easier access to Night Shift mode and comes with additional screen for Music and Home controls. Shh.. Now you can change the intensity of your flashlight. In iOS 10, the flashlight button comes with different intensity settings.

Facial Recognition

Apple adding advanced face and object recognition in iOS 10 as Photos now uses the facial
recognition to sort photos of a certain person.

Memories

In iOS 10, Photos group together people, locations and other information to bring collections of photos without any user interventions. These smart collection called as ‘Memories’. The iPhone will automatically create video slideshows of memories for beautiful reflections and reviews of your favourite moments.

Animated Text

With the new iOS 10, you can send handful of different animated text such as lasers and fireworks. iMessage chats will become more expressive, with text bubbles that animate and move, and downloadable stickers that can be sent and stuck to images within the chat.

Play videos within Messages

With rich links, you will be able to view articles and videos right inside the messages, without
the need to launch a browser or separate app. Pretty cool, huh?

Sleep - Friendly Alarm

For many people, Apple's alarm clock is the last thing they see before going to sleep and the first thing when they wake up. So Apple has totally redesigned it in iOS 10. It can even give you a headsup when it's time to go to bed. It's sporting a new dark mode, too.

Smarter Lock Screen

Lock screen experience has been improved in iOS 10. Lock screen interface has totally revamped  with significantly more detailed notifications that will let you take actions without unlocking your phone.
