iOS 10 Tidbits: Individual Read Receipts, Wake Alarm, Music Storage Optimization, and More

Apple today announced iOS 10 (http://www.macrumors.com/2016/06/13/new-ios-10-features-include/), the next major version of its iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ipod-touch/) software platform. The update is available in beta for Apple developers starting today, allowing early adopters to update and take a closer look at what's new. A public beta will be available in July, followed by an official launch in the fall.





iOS 10 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ios-10/) includes a number of changes that Apple neglected to mention in greater detail on stage during its WWDC 2016 (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/wwdc/) keynote, including a new Wake Alarm in the Clock app, individualized read receipts, a new option in the Music app to optimize storage, and many other features outlined below.





<strong>Remove Stock Apps</strong>

iOS 10 enables users to remove the following built-in apps (https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204221) from the Home screen on iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:


<div style="width:33%;padding:0 10px 0 0;float:left;">


• Calendar


• Compass


• Contacts


• FaceTime


• Find My Friends


• Home


• iBooks (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/ibooks/)</div><div style="width:33%;padding:0 10px 0 10px;float:left;">


• [url=http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/icloud/]iCloud (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/icloud-drive/) Drive[/url]


• iTunes Store


• Mail


• Maps


• Music


• News


• Notes


• Podcasts</div><div style="width:33%;padding:0 10px 0 10px;float:left;">


• Reminders


• Stocks


• Tips


• Videos


• Voice Memos


• Watch app


• Weather</div><div style="clear:both;"></div>  


The apps are now available as standalone downloads on the App Store (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/app-store/), meaning that Apple can issue updates for each app independent of iOS updates.





If you have an Apple Watch (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/apple-watch/) paired with your iPhone, removing an app from your Home screen also removes that app from your Apple Watch.





Removing apps can unsurprisingly impact related functionalities such as CarPlay (http://www.macrumors.com/roundup/carplay/) and Notification Center widgets.





<strong>Wake Alarm</strong>

A new Bedtime tab has been added to the Clock app with a Wake Alarm function that can help you go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. When enabled, the recurring wake-up alarm will remind you when it is time to sleep, track how many hours you slept, and provide detailed sleep analysis.





<strong>Individual Read Receipts</strong>

Read receipts can be toggled on a per-person or per-conversation basis on iOS 10, rather than be simply turned on or off entirely.





<strong>Music Storage Optimization</strong>
