iOS 10

Live Photos on iPhone are three-second moving pictures that first appeared with the iPhone 6s. If you’re not sure how to take a Live Photo, you’ll be pleasantly surprised how easy it is. I leave my Live Photo feature on for my iPhone 8 Plus camera; that way, all of my photos are moving pictures. My dog Buddy passed away earlier this year, and I was really grateful to have all of the Live Photos of him. There’s a lot you can do with your iPhone moving pictures. We’ll cover how to take Live Photos, how to make your own live wallpaper with Live Photos, how to turn your Live Photo into a gif, how to use the new, improved iOS 11 Live Photo features, and much more. This is our complete guide to taking Live Photos; here’s everything you need to know about taking Live Photos on iPhone.

Most of us are used to all the new features and functions of iOS 10 by now. But there are some features that are just so annoying, like having to press the Home button twice to unlock your iPhone or the way the Handwriting option pops up unwanted when you're texting. Take the poll and let us know what you least favorite iOS 10 features are, then tell us why in the comments.

With iOS 10 on iPhone, Apple introduced the ability to use Apple Pay in Safari. What this means is that if you have any credit cards in your Wallet on iPhone, you can use them along with Touch ID to easily and quickly pay for items online in your Safari browser. Keep in mind that not all websites have the feature, but when it’s available you can use it for quick transactions. Apple Pay in Safari is available for all iPhones and iPads that are able to run iOS 10. It can also be done on Macs running MacOS Sierra using an Apple Watch running watchOS 3 for authentication. Here’s how to use Apple Pay in Safari on iPhone.

iOS 10 is, arguably, the biggest update to come to iPhone. Not since the total redesign of iOS 7 have we seen changes this big to the iPhone’s operating system. From voicemail transcription (aka visual voicemail) to Siri with third-party integration, there’s a lot of new features to learn how to use. We’re still writing tips to cover all of the iOS 10 updates, but this roundup will feature my favorite top ten iOS 10 tips that we’ve published so far. We’ll include how to search for a destination that’s on your way in Maps, how to find your parked car with iOS 10, how to register as an organ donor in the Health app, and much more. Here’s the ten best iOS 10 tips every iPhone user should know.

Clearly something happened between the final beta and release of iOS 10. I had very few issues on the beta program, but iOS 10 public users, including myself, are having loads of problems and experiencing all kinds of big and little bugs. From battery drain in iOS 10 to Bluetooth connectivity problems, people are asking, “what were you thinking Apple?” We sure don’t know, but we’ve got plenty of troubleshooting fixes for those iOS 10 problems we’re all having. The first public iOS 10 update bricked some iPhones and iPads, but it seems Apple has fixed that issue with iOS 10.0.2. However battery drain remains the largest iOS 10 issue, so we’ll first cover how to fix that problem until another update can remedy the issue entirely. Let’s jump into the top iOS 10 problems and how to fix them.

I recently had the opportunity to sit down and chat with David Bos, head of marketing for the relatively new, mobile-only, game-streaming platform, Mobcrush (free). With the introduction of iOS 10, Mobcrush will finally be able to offer its highly vaunted live-streaming feature to iOS gamers, a feature that has been available to Android gamers for some time. With ReplayKit Live, iOS gamers can finally, and with unprecedented ease, stream live broadcasts of their favorite mobile video games.

Today is the day! iOS 10 is finally available to the public. Sure, I could've signed up for the beta testing program, but I prefer the sheer surprise of a new iOS operating system and all that goes along with the brand new software. By default, as a tech journalist, it's hard to totally block out all news of a new update, but when it come to iOS upgrades, I do my best to do so. For me the experience of a new iOS is akin to the sensation a child experiences on Christmas when they open their gifts, and who doesn't love a surprise come Christmas morning? Will you update your iPhone or iPad to iOS 10? Take the poll at the end of the post and let us know!

In the 37th episode, members of the iPhone Life team share their best outdoor adventure gear, apps, and tips for your next camping trip or hike. They'll also update you on the new features (and bugs!) in iOS 10 Beta 2 and give you a rundown of all the latest rumors surrounding the forthcoming iPhone 7. 

As it turns out, Apple's "Hello, WWDC16" image for this year's developer's conference was very appropriate. Getting a program to display "Hello, world" is usually the first step for brand new developers, and Apple has taken big steps to bring new developers into the fold, and provide new opportunities for current developers.
