iOS 10 Beta 5 Tidbits: New Lock Screen Sound, Swift Playground Content, and More
Apple today released new versions of iOS 10
to both developers and public beta testers, and as with any major beta
update, there are several small changes and tweaks that have been
implemented as Apple works to refine the operating system ahead of its
release this fall.
Today's update, available as an over-the-air download for those who
installed the first four betas or the beta configuration profile,
features a new Lock screen sound, tweaks to the Control Center and
widgets screen, and more.
We've rounded up some of the biggest changes in beta five
in the video below, so make sure to check it out to get a quick look at
what's changed. We're also listing all of the changes in the post
below.
Photos - Apple plans to reprocess facial recognition data in beta 5, so all named, favorited, and merged face data will be reset.
Lock sound - There's a new sound when locking the iPhone. It sounds like a door closing.
New Output icon - The output icon seen in the Control Center, the
Music app, and other locations in iOS has been slightly tweaked. It is
no longer represented by headphones and instead resembles a triangle
with sound waves.
Settings - The "Home" section in the Settings app has been
removed on the iPhone, as it served no purpose, but it remains available
on the iPad. Widgets - The new widgets panel, accessible by swiping to the right, now displays the date on all devices.
Swift Playgrounds - New content has been added to Swift Playgrounds in iOS 10 beta 5, including Learn to Code Part 2.
