The Messages app has been entirely overhauled with features that include background animations, bubble effects, Digital Touch, handwritten notes, Tapback replies, predictive emoji, and a dedicated App Store, and Photos has gained new facial and object recognition capabilities along with a Memories feature for rediscovering forgotten moments.
Over the beta testing period, Apple is tweaking the features introduced in iOS 10 to refine them ahead of the public release of the operating system. In iOS 10 beta 3, Apple introduced a new locking sound and haptic feedback when pressing the power button, an iOS 9 style Touch ID accessibility option, a new keyboard sound, an option to send Health data to Apple, and more. All of the new changes in iOS 10 beta 4 are available in our dedicated tidbits post and video.
iOS 10 is currently available to developers and public beta testers, with a full public release planned for the fall. For full details on iOS 10, make sure to check out our iOS 10 roundup.

What are you talking about? iOS 10 doesn't release until the fall and is currently in beta testing. Terrible trolling is terrible

Not sure what's going on with Apple's UI design team, but iOS 10 looks like they purposely tried to create the most generic OS ever. Nothing about it says "Apple". Grey rounded rects everywhere, incredibly dull icons. Boring and lifeless. No personality, no sex appeal.
This had sex appeal?

• Haptic feedback when iPhone is locked is gone. Sound appears to be different though.
• Keyboard clicks are like they were in beta 1 and 3. New sound for spacebar and backspace.
•Device seems quicker as well, probably placebo.
• Safari doesn't freak out when commenting on macrumors anymore thank God
• Purple space iOS 8 stock wallpaper is back too
• Emoji'a are different too. Gun is like a green water gun now or something lol.
They appear more rounded or cartoony I guess.

sex appeal with an OS? Interesting. Personally I like it a lot. It is much better than iOS 7-9 which looked like the rainbow puked.

Does anyone else think NightShift doesn't need that huge massive button on the controls panel, where space is already at a premium? They could make that button a quarter the size and add actual useful toggles, like cellular data on/off.
