One of the main features of iMessage lets you and your recipients know when the other person is typing. For some, this is a little unsettling and doesn't give you the privacy you may want.
Fortunately, a new free jailbreak tweak called MessageTypingIndicator provides a way to turn this feature off.
Has this ever happened to you? You were laying in bed or shifting your position on the couch and all of a sudden your iPhone's screen orientation switched on you when you didn't want it to?
If this sounds familiar, and happens often for you, then a new free jailbreak tweak dubbed UndoRotation could very quickly become your new best friend.
Apple late Wednesday night issued a statement to several news outlets regarding launch day supply of its new iPhone 7. We've got the full text below, but the gist of it is that it doesn't sound like you'll be able to walk into an Apple store on Friday and buy an iPhone 7 Plus or any model in the new Jet Black colorway.
Popular YouTube tech reviewer Marques Brownlee, known by many as MKBHD, has posted an unboxing video for both the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus. The 5 minute clip offers an up-close look at both handsets, in Black and Jet Black respectively, as well as the design and contents of their packaging. Check it out below.
Apple has hired former Time Warner Cable executive Peter Stern as a vice president working on cloud services, reports The Wall Street Journal. Stern left TWC earlier this year after it was bought out by rival Charter Communications.
The new VP will report to Eddy Cue, who oversees businesses like the iTunes Store and Apple Music. Mr. Stern has deep knowledge of the cable industry's economics, and relationships with a number of major media companies.
The latest Pokémon GO update blocks jailbreakers from using the game in a move to crack down on third-party apps and tweaks that harvest data for Pokémon tracking and cheating.
Of course, not all jailbreakers cheat in Pokémon GO, so it's a pretty harsh assumption on their part, so in this piece, we'll discuss how you can run Pokémon GO on your jailbroken device even if you have the latest update.
Among the 100+ new features in iOS 10 came the ability to have your iPhone announce who's calling when receiving a phone call. Based on the caller ID, your iPhone will vocalize the name of the caller, or tell you it's an unknown caller in case the number isn't in your contacts.
This is a nice little addition that can actually be configured in the Settings.
iOS 10 takes 3D Touch, a pressure sensing technology which debuted a year ago on the iPhone 6s, to plenty new places throughout the operating system. With 3D Touch, you can clear all notifications in one fell swoop, rename folders quickly, prioritize downloads, interact with notifications and more.
You also get useful 3D Touch shortcuts upon pressing app icons in Control Center (sadly, 3D-touching Wi-Fi and Bluetooth toggles does nothing).
Worse, Control Center continues to inexplicably lack a dedicated cellular data toggle. But worry not, as Apple has found a way to slip in that sought-after cellular data shortcut with a little help from 3D Touch.
To say that YouTube, one of my favorite mobile apps from Google, has poor 3D touch support would be an understatement: it's been now a full year since the iPhone 6s introduced the world to 3D Touch and yet support for the technology is literally non-existent in YouTube for iOS.
Conveniently ahead of the iPhone 7's arrival, Google yesterday moved to assuage some of the concerns of users who have been craving for 3D Touch in the app, releasing a small update which enables some interesting shortcuts on the Home screen.
Starting with iOS 10, Apple is allowing a new type of applications in the App Store: apps that can detect and block spam phone calls from telemarketers, debt collectors, scammers, and automated systems. These apps act as an extension of the Phone application, and in theory, they can help you filter out those calls from people you don't want to talk to.
In this post, we will have a look at how these applications work and how to use them.
WhatsApp is one of the showcase apps for CallKit, Apple's new framework allowing VoIP calls to integrate with iOS 10's Phone app and behave like cellular calls. Today, WhatsApp has rolled out its anticipated update which enables integration with Phone and Siri on iOS 10 while bringing out half a dozen other features and improvements like forwarding multiple chats at once, a new iOS 10 widget that lets you go to a recent WhatsApp chat or see which chats have unread messages, and more.
Apple officially launched iOS 10 to the hands of the public this week with more than 100 new features for iPhone and iPad users.
It looks like an exciting update, but we know some people are still wary of updating this early in the game. So to find out where you stand, we've launched another poll you can participate in.
