Settings in iOS 10: Every notable change you need to know<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Settings in iOS 10: Every notable change you need to know<\/strong> : Once you upgrade to iOS 10, take some time to peruse the Settings app to tweak your device to your liking.<\/span><\/p>\n

iOS\u2019s Settings app is the quiet MVP of Apple\u2019s mobile operating system: It\u2019s the place you go to when you need to get something done, and get it done your way. So whenever you update iOS on your iPhone or iPad, it pays to peruse the settings to find, enable, and configure any new features just to your liking. The biggies for iOS 10? Maps, with its plethora of new features, and Siri, since she now supports third-party app integration.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u2019s a rundown of the major changes in Settings in iOS 10, as well as some key settings that didn\u2019t change, but you still might want to revisit. If you\u2019ve got any questions, hit us up in the comments. <\/span><\/p>\n

Cellular<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A couple of small changes have been made in the Cellular section. To start, SIM PIN has been moved back to the Phone settings section (more on that later).<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also notice that your \u201cEnable LTE\u201d and \u201cRoaming\u201d options have been moved: They\u2019re now tucked away behind another option in your Cellular settings called \u201cCellular Data Options,\u201d where you can select if you\u2019d like to use LTE for Voice & Data, or for Data Only. Here, you\u2019ll also find the switch to toggle off or on your Data Roaming feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Notifications <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In iOS 9, Notifications\u2019 settings had two additional settings for how notifications would be displayed in Notification Center: You could sort the order of your notifications by showing the most recent items first, or customize them. You could also group notifications together by app.<\/span><\/p>\n

You won\u2019t find either of these options in iOS 10\u2014your notifications are automatically sorted in reverse chronological order, with the most recent on top. That\u2019s great for when you notice a banner just as it\u2019s going away, or when you hear your phone beep from across the room.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Notifications\"<\/p>\n

What you will find in the Notifications settings is the list of your apps that have requested notifications, in alphabetical order. That makes it easy to find the app whose notifications you want to tweak, but the controls themselves haven\u2019t changed since iOS 8. You can still decide if notifications can appear in Notification Center, on the Lock Screen, or both, and if you want to be notified in the form of vanishing banners, must-be-dismissed alerts, a badged home screen icon, or a sound. Even without much change in the Notifications settings, it\u2019s a good idea to \u201caudit\u201d your notifications from time to time, since they lose their impact if you have so many coming in that you start ignoring them altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n

General<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

A few small changes can be found in the General section of the Settings app. (Looking for Siri? She\u2019s broken free! More on that below.)<\/span><\/p>\n

About: One tiny change: Your Trust Store number is now hidden under Certificate Trust Settings at the very bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Spotlight Search<\/strong>: Spotlight Search\u2014which lets you pull down on the screen to initiate a search for apps, media, and other stuff on your iPhone\u2014has been a godsend since it debuted in iOS 9, and in iOS 10, you can customize it\u2019s search capabilities a bit more. Spotlight Search makes recommendations based on the search terms you enter\u2014for example, searching for \u201ccute puppies\u201d shows me App Store results, relevant TV episodes, websites, web videos, and more, alongside personal Messages, email, and photos tagged with that phrase. If you don\u2019t want these handy suggestions, and just want to search through what actually lives on your phone, toggle off the \u201cSuggestions in Search\u201d feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another new iOS 10 feature is Look Up, which replaces Define from previous versions of iOS. Activate Look Up by tapping on a word and selecting Look Up. (You\u2019ll find it next to your Copy and Paste options.) Look Up gives you more than just a basic definition\u2014it tries to prevent more relevant info, like App Store suggestions, videos, websites, movie show times, points of interest nearby, and more. To ditch these suggestions, toggle off the \u201cSuggestions in Look Up\u201d feature.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Look<\/p>\n

In this section, you\u2019ll also find a list of everything that can come up in the search results, since Spotlight can search inside of apps as well as content like your email, contacts, and calendars. You can toggle off any of the apps or features that you\u2019d like to omit from your search results.<\/span><\/p>\n

Handoff:<\/strong> Nothing really has changed with Handoff, but this section used to include the settings for the Suggested Apps feature. Suggested apps are shown on the bottom-left corner of your lock screen and in the app switcher, based on your location or usage patterns. For example, when you are near a Target or a Starbucks, those apps\u2019 icons will appear on your lock screen, assuming you have the apps installed and have given them permission to access your location. This feature setting is now tied in with Spotlight Search.<\/span><\/p>\n

CarPlay<\/strong>: If you\u2019re lucky enough to have CarPlay in your car, you can now customize your car\u2019s navigation layout by dragging and dropping apps into a mirrored version of your display on your iPhone. You can find this by going to CarPlay > Car Navigation. This screen has a list of all of your CarPlay compatible apps, so have at it.<\/span><\/p>\n

You\u2019ll also see the toggle to Allow CarPlay While Locked, which simply allows CarPlay to have access to your iPhone while your phone is locked. Probably worthwhile to keep toggled on.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Carplay\"<\/p>\n

Accessibility:<\/strong> Several tweaks and small changes were made to iOS 10\u2019s accessibility features:<\/span><\/p>\n

VoiceOver:<\/strong> VoiceOver, which speaks items that are found on your iPhone\u2019s screen, doesn\u2019t have many settings changes, but the settings are organized differently. The Speak Hints toggle is now found under a menu item called Verbosity\u2014when turned on, this feature will provide some additional detail on how to use a button or feature you\u2019ve selected. Also in the Verbosity settings: an Emoji Suffix toggle, which will speak the word \u201cemoji\u201d when emojis are read in text context if turned on.<\/span><\/p>\n

The \u201cUse Sound Effects\u201d toggle is missing from the main screen; it\u2019s now hidden under the Audio section. You\u2019ll also find options for Audio Ducking and to Auto-select Speaker in Call, which will automatically switch your call to speaker phone if you hold the phone away from your ear.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Speech section, what once was called Default Dialect is now simply called Voice. Here, you\u2019ll select your preferred language, voice, and dialect. You can correct any poor pronunciation of new works by adding an item to the Pronunciations section.<\/span><\/p>\n

Magnifier:<\/strong> In iOS 10, you can use your iPhone\u2019s camera to magnify things IRL, like fine print in a book or a hard-to-read brunch menu. Just toggle on the Magnifier setting. You\u2019ll also find the Auto-Brightness tool here.<\/span><\/p>\n

Display Accommodations:<\/strong> Here, you\u2019ll find the settings to invert your display\u2019s color, add color filters, or reduce white point, which all assist people who struggle with color blindness. They\u2019ve moved from Accessibility\u2019s main settings page. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Speech<\/strong>: Speech now has more language options for what it can speak back to you, and you can adjust the speaking rate. It can also speak out words as you type them, or provide feedback on the characters that you type.<\/span><\/p>\n

Home Button<\/strong>: Hate the new \u201cpress Home to open\u201d feature? You can go back to the before times\u2014where you\u2019d simply rest your finger on the Home button to activate Touch ID and unlock your phone\u2014if you\u2019d like. Toggle on the Rest Finger to Open option. Voila! You can also adjust the click speed required with the Home button\u2014slow it down a bit, or make it even slower.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Home<\/p>\n

Restrictions<\/strong>: This is where you can restrict certain things\u2014say, if you were giving this device to a kid and didn\u2019t want them to have Safari or be able to install new apps or make in-app purchases. Turn Restrictions on at the top, then select what you\u2019d like to restrict. One new notable option here: You can restrict Game Center\u2019s new screen recording feature. And if you hate apps asking you if they can connect to Facebook, go to Restrictions > Facebook, and tap Don\u2019t Allow Changes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Language & Region: iOS 10 has a dedicated setting for Temperature Unit, which lets you switch between Fahrenheit and Celsius. Yay?<\/span><\/p>\n

Display & Brightness<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nothing crazy to report here, except for that it swallowed up a setting that used to be found elsewhere: Auto-Lock. Your iPhone will automatically lock its display if left idle for too long\u2014you pick that time lapse by tapping Auto-Lock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sounds<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Not a new Setting, per-se\u2026 but have you noticed the new keyboard clicking sound? If you hate it, you can turn the clicks off on the Sounds setting\u2014just scroll all the way down. (Sorry, there\u2019s no way to bring the old sound back.)<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sounds\"<\/p>\n

Siri<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Siri\u2019s settings used to be tucked away in the General section, but in iOS 10, it\u2019s displayed right on your main Settings page. Hi, Siri!<\/span><\/p>\n

Also new<\/strong>: App Support. Siri now works with third-party apps (if, of course, the app developer has used the Siri SDK to build its functionality within the app). Here, you\u2019ll find a list of Siri-ready apps; toggle on the ones you want to use Siri with, and keep the others turned off. You can now use Siri to make a restaurant reservation through OpenTable, pay back your friend who picked up the tab through Venmo, and then hail a ride home with Lyft. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Siri<\/p>\n

Notes<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One reason note-taking apps like Evernote have relegated Apple\u2019s built-in Notes app to the sideline is because they have features like collaboration that let multiple people contribute to a note. Apple clearly\u2014please forgive me this pun\u2014took note: iOS 10\u2019s version of Notes has a collaboration feature. In Settings, you can password-protect your notes, opt save all media shared within Notes to your Photos app, and sync your Notes with iCloud (or another supported account).<\/span><\/p>\n

Phone<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

With iOS 9, the SIM PIN setting moved from the Phone settings to Cellular. Welp, that change didn\u2019t last long\u2014in iOS 10, it\u2019s back in the Phone settings. This feature lets you put a separate PIN code on your SIM card, so if someone had your stolen or misplaced phone, they couldn\u2019t use your SIM card in another device. Your iPhone or iPad will prompt you to enter the SIM pin whenever you swap out the SIM (which you probably won\u2019t do much, if ever) or when you reboot the device.<\/span><\/p>\n

SIM PIN is off by default, so if you want to use it, first you\u2019ll turn it on. Your SIM has a default PIN on it already: For AT&T and Verizon, it\u2019s 1111. For Sprint and T-Mobile, it\u2019s 1234. (Great PINs, y\u2019all.) Once you enter that\u2014and you have to get it right within three tries or your SIM will be locked, but I believe in you\u2014you can tap Change PIN and change it to something good. You can stick with four digits, or use more, up to eight digits total, all numbers. Again, pick something memorable because if you enter the wrong PIN too many times, your SIM will be permanently locked and you\u2019ll have to ask your carrier for a new one.<\/span><\/p>\n

Maps <\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Apple Maps got a huge overhaul in iOS 10, and with it comes some extra things to tweak in its settings. First, you\u2019ll select your preferred transportation type\u2014Driving, Walking, or Transit\u2014so that Maps knows what kind of directions to show you first by default.<\/span><\/p>\n

In the Driving & Navigation menu, you\u2019ll find options for avoiding tolls and highways, to show a compass in the app\u2019s main navigation, and the settings for your navigation voice volume. You\u2019ll also find a toggle that can pause spoken audio during navigation prompts, so that you won\u2019t miss a single second of your podcast or audio book.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Map\"<\/p>\n

The Transit menu has a list of all of the transit vehicles that Apple Maps supports. Select which type of vehicle you\u2019d like to see in your transit directions results (heck, if you live in the San Francisco Bay Area, you\u2019ll likely want to select all of them).<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Transit\"<\/p>\n

Apple Maps can also remember where you parked your car, if you\u2019d like it to\u2014just toggle on Show Parked Location, and you\u2019ll see your car\u2019s parked spot on the map. Your iPhone must be connected to your car\u2019s Bluetooth or CarPlay stereo in order for this feature to work, however.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Maps\"<\/p>\n

The biggest change: Extensions. Apple Maps now supports third-party apps and services, like Lyft, Uber, OpenTable, and Yelp. When searching for directions to a restaurant, for example, you can make a reservation or read reviews straight from your Maps app, and then get a fare and time estimate for your Lyft ride over to the restaurant.<\/span><\/p>\n

Safari<\/strong> <\/span><\/p>\n

Apple Pay hit Safari and the Mac with iOS 10. If you\u2019d like to use it more frequently, toggle on the Check for Apple Pay option, which lets websites check to see if you have Apple Pay set up so that they can offer you that payment option at checkout.<\/span><\/p>\n
