According to Panzarino, the iOS 10.1 public beta will go live on Friday, September 23.

Moreover, the users can now command Siri to place a phone call or send a message through Whatsapp app.

Forbes has declared that the Chinese group must not have any difficulty in accessing Apple’s mobile OS and problems must be out of the picture since “Apple barely touched on the security features of the latest OS meaning the Chinese hacker group should find it fairly easier to come up with an iOS 10 jailbreak”.

In some good news, you should know that the recently released Swift 3 open-source programming language has been included as well in the Xcode 8.1 Beta 1 development milestone, along with SDKs (Software Development Kits) that you can use to build and test your apps for the next versions of iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS.

Apple’s Spotlight feature will also need to index the contents of the phone, which could lead to a faster-than-usual battery drain. Alternatively, there is the option of getting the beta version of the app, which always has the latest features on board, but keep in mind that it might some unstable performances along the way. Just for a example, a new widget is made which enables the users to check the unread messaged and jump to any of the threads without actually launching the app. Furthermore, when recording a video or taking a snapshot, a double tap on the screen will switch between the front and rear-facing cameras. Now, a camera icon has been added at the bottom of the Settings bar in the chat window.
