iOS 10.2 Beta 3: A New Feature in the Television App
It appears that Apple has added a new feature to the television app, which is now called "up next". This feature allows users to view the next video in their queue with just one click of a button. The up next feature is similar to the "next up" section found in the News app on iOS devices. Users can access this feature by watching something and clicking on the "up next" button, which will take them to the next video in their queue.
The Television App: A Brand New Feature
One of the most significant changes in iOS 10.2 beta 3 is the introduction of a new television app, which replaces the old Video app. The television app provides users with a dedicated section for its settings, allowing them to customize various options such as playback quality, cellular data, and purchases/rentals. Users can also choose their preferred playback quality over Wi-Fi or cellular.
The Feedback App: A Return of an Old Feature
Apple has brought back the feedback app in iOS 10.2 beta 3, which was previously only available on public betas. The feedback app allows users to submit bugs and errors they encounter while using the operating system. This feature is now included in the official release of iOS 10.2 beta 3, providing Apple with a means to gather user feedback and improve the overall stability and performance of the operating system.
The Loss of Emergency SOS: A Feature Removed from Beta 3
In contrast to previous betas, iOS 10.2 beta 3 no longer includes the SOS feature that allowed users to quickly call emergency services by sliding down on Notification Center five times. The SOS button was replaced with a new effect called "911" which is similar to the one found on Apple Watches.
New Screen Effects in the Messages App
Apple has added several new screen effects to the Messages app, including a "Send with Love" feature that adds a heart-shaped animation to messages sent using this method. The Messages app now includes two new screens: the celebration screen and the send with love screen. The latter is the most noticeable change, as it features an eye emoji with slightly tweaked pupils that resemble previous versions of the emoji.
The Shutterbug Bug is Still Present
Despite Apple's efforts to improve the camera performance in iOS 10.2 beta 3, the shutterbug bug remains present. While the animation appears smoother than before, the shutterbug is still visible when taking photos. It would be nice to see this feature resolved in future updates.
A Respring Button that Still Works
In a surprising development, iOS 10.2 beta 3 still includes a respring button that works as intended. To access this feature, users can slide down on Notification Center, drag the screen up slightly, and then click on the dictation icon to trigger the respring process.
Geekbench Performance: A Notable Improvement
iOS 10.2 beta 3 has seen an improvement in performance when running Geekbench benchmarks. The results indicate a significant boost in speed compared to previous iterations of the operating system. While this may not necessarily translate to real-world performance, it is still a welcome development for users who rely on their devices for demanding tasks.
A Multitasking Issue with a Glitchy Feature
The multitasking feature in iOS 10.2 beta 3 has been reported to be glitchy at times, causing users to be taken straight to the homescreen without warning. This issue is particularly noticeable when launching and closing apps or switching between different activities on the device. While Apple may resolve this issue in future updates, it's worth noting that iOS still feels buggy in some areas.
Conclusion
iOS 10.2 beta 3 brings several new features and improvements to the table, including a revamped television app, a return of the feedback app, and new screen effects in the Messages app. While there are still some bugs and issues present in this update, it's clear that Apple is committed to refining its operating system and providing users with a better experience.
"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enI was 10.2 beta 3 was just released this morning so this video like usual let's cover what's new and what's changed in this update and it's not a very big one comes in around 200 megabytes for most devices but it does have over 5 new features that were found so first things first is the TV app it now completely replaces the video app and for me personally this is the first time I've ever even seen it on my device so open it up and it's basically television that you can stream from here so great stuff and alongside this new TV app it now comes with an up next feature so if you're watching something you'll get a button that you can click on it'll take you to the next video in your queue now the thing is it's a very similar feature to the news app just like on the bottom over here next up so you'll basically get a feature very similar to this now in the television app which is brand new and it does completely replace the video app so if we jump into settings over here we will now get a dedicated section for the television app so now that it replaces videos this is what you're gonna see and these are the settings inside so you cellula data for playback the playback quality can be chosen over cellular and Wi-Fi and purchases and rentals down here so you can choose the quality over here so great stuff television app not something I would use on my iPhone but it's good to have so I've over to the second page and you'll notice that the feedback app is now back now this is something we usually just see on public betas but Apple has brought it to the official iOS dev release so you can go ahead and submit any bugs or errors you might be encountering using this new feedback app president in beta 3 they will most likely be removed soon but for now it's been added back now a feature that Apple added in the last beta that's no longer here is the SOS feature so the one where you would click the home button five times no longer is present in this beta it's an interesting change before this is what it looked like and basically would call 901 just like on the Apple watch now I feel like it was removed because it was a little buggy maybe it was getting stuck or frozen and calling 911 more than it should have been and of course all the people that have been using it try and get out it must have been a headache for the dispatchers but anyways if we jump into the general settings over here on both you will no longer see that section for emergency SOS on beta three maybe it will make its way back in the final release but for now it is gone now if we jump into the messages app you'll notice there is a new effect Apple keeps adding several there's a new screen effect if we slide over its send with love so now you can get this heart nice little effect and it'll join a new screen basically with the celebration one over here so that's awesome two new screens in 10.2 beta 3 the newest one being the send with love now this one blink and you'll miss it I have no idea how somebody found this but the eye emoji is now slightly tweaked to look like the older version from iOS 10 earlier built so I've got a picture over here I wanted to show you guys so let's jump into this and if i zoom in take a look at the eye emoji on the left so the pupils are touching the very edge of the eyeball and now it's looking more like previous versions so pretty much made it look like earlier versions of that emoji house somebody found this I have no idea but so far that seems to be the only emoji that they changed and just a couple other smaller points has the shutterbug been fixed on this latest version of 10.2 so to play this and I have noticed that no the shutterbug is still there so although it does seem a little bit smoother it's just because it's more to the left but the shutterbug is present in this latest beta and I made a video about this kind of sad to see this here hopefully it gets fixed eventually I found a respring button that I wanted to share with you guys that still works on this latest beta so if you guys slide down on Notification Center drag it up a little click on the little speaking icon dictation and then just click on the screen over here drop it slide over and click cancel and your phone will respring so still works in this latest beta it's completely pointless but I just wanted to share it anyways let's get a geek bench running here see if anything's different and actually about the speed I wanted to show you guys something I found was really interesting in settings if you guys actually multitask not only do you get a weird glitch sometimes it'll just take you straight to the homescreen for no reason anyways let's get a geek bench cooking so nice little improvement jump in performance there so I can't say I feel it reflected in the iOS still feels kind of buggy in some ways especially when launching the app switcher opening apps closing them so guys just want to say thank you for watching that's iOS 10.2 beta 3 some nice new changes in there and we should be seeing a full release here shortly I'll be sure to update you guys when that happens anyways a great day
