Apple Releases iOS 10.2 Developer Beta 5 and Public Beta

iphone-7-plus-07

In a completely unexpected way Apple has released the fifth Beta of iOS 10.2 for developers. Unexpected because it is Friday, a strange day for Apple to launch new software, and unexpected because it is the second Beta launched this week, despite the fact that at the beginning of it it launched the fourth Beta. It is available in the developer center and via OTA for those who already had it previously installed, both developers and users of the Public Beta. We remind you of the news of this new iOS 10.2 that will soon be available to everyone:

  • New Emoji for iOS, watchOS and macOS, including some long-awaited ones like paella
  • New effects in the Messages application for special celebrations and for messages of love
  • New TV application, which at the moment is limited only to the version for the United States, and of which we do not know if it will be launched outside the North American country
  • Small aesthetic changes in the interface of the Music application, which also incorporates the possibility of rating songs with stars
  • New emergency system that after a first Beta in which it was in all regions is now limited to India.
  • New icon for the status bar when we connect a headset or hands-free
  • The Feedback application reappears to send feedback on bugs that we find in the Beta directly to Apple
  • New Widget for the TV and / or Videos application
  • New option to keep the Camera app settings

iOS 10.2 could arrive as soon as this next week after it has reached five Betas since its release. With the battery problems that iOS 10.1.1 is generating, many users are looking forward to updating to this new version, which after several Betas seems to have normal behavior with the battery on the iPhone again. At the beginning of the week the fourth Beta was accompanied by a new Beta version for watchOS 3.1.1 and for macOS 10.12.2, but at the moment there is no news about it today.
