Cool huh

Sorry, I was going to come back with a how to after 5 minutes and then got caught up with something...
 
iOS 10 is now installed on more than two thirds of the active iOS device install base, recording 66.7% twenty-seven days after iOS 10 was released according to Fiksu. Mixpanel is also recording iOS 10 adoption topping 66% since Sunday.

As shown by the graph, iOS 10 has the fastest adoption rate than any previous update, a month after release. Interestingly, iOS 10 initially lagged behind iOS 6, 7 and 9 until about two weeks in. The upgrade rate then rockets upwards to take the top spot at the end of September.


These metrics from Fiksu and Mixpanel measure the adoption rate of the active iOS install base, as they track any iPhones and iPads in use on the web.

Before iOS 10 was released, iOS 9 was installed on 88% of the active device base. Less than a month later, iOS 10 is already on the majority of iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices. There are now more devies in use running iOS 10 than iOS 9. This is unprecedented uptake outside of Apple’s ecosystem.

The unusual spike two weeks after iOS 10 launch is difficult to explain, as it initially seemed like iOS 10 would lag behind iOS 9 for many months. Previous iOS updates do not feature the same ‘S-curve’ growth pattern.

iOS 10 adoption spiked around September 27th.

A flurry of new iPhone users unboxing their iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus units probably contributed, which ship with iOS 10 preinstalled. Although Apple will have a sold many millions of iPhone 7 so far, it does not explain most of the jump, where iOS adoption increased 20% between September 27 and October 4.

One thing to consider is that Apple does not aggressively push customers to update to iOS 10 when the software ships. The initial influx of upgrades comes from people proactively visiting Software Update in iOS Settings and starting the update. Apple does sends notification for people that have not yet updated, but they are delayed by a week or more.

It is possible that Apple waited to send many iOS 10 update alerts until two weeks in. The release of iOS 10.0.2 on September 23rd will also have triggered fresh update warnings for users, which may have contributed to the sudden increase in adoption. Early update issues with iOS 10 may also have made people wait a few weeks before committing to the upgrade.

The next version of iOS 10, iOS 10.1, is currently in beta for developers and public beta testers and will be released by the end of the year. It includes several improvements, most noticeably adding a depth-of-field bokeh ‘Portrait’ mode for iPhone 7 Plus owners which takes advantage of the dual camera system.

Probably has a lot to do with the self management of storage during the installation that will delete apps and replace them later if you are low on space.

Unlike iOS9 upgrade that required the use of iTunes to install if you didn't have a crazy amount of free space left.
 
Your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch lets you spruce up your messaging game with stickers, emoji, reactions, bubble and screen effects, animated expressions of your feelings and iMessage Apps for things like OpenTable reservations, Apple Music integration, animated GIF creation and more.

This tutorial details important things pertaining to third-party iMessage Apps, including finding and installing them in the App Store, organizing them on the Messages App Shelf, disabling those you seldom use and deleting ones you no longer need.

I’ve long been saying that we shouldn’t trust any iOS adoption rate “research” based on the assumption that users have on their phone specific apps which incorporate third-party tracking software. Yesterday, for instance, Fiksu and Mixpanel each estimated that iOS 10 was powering two-thirds of active devices, or about 66 percent.

Well, Apple this morning posted iOS 10 adoption rates on the official App Store dashboard for developers which reveal that iOS 10 is currently installed on 54 percent of active iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices.

iOS 9, Apple estimates, has gone from the 88 perfect of active iOS devices that it measured in the run-up to the September 16 iPhone 7 release to just 38 percent. Prior iOS editions like iOS 7, labeled on Apple’s pie chart as “Earlier”, are currently powering eight percent of active iPhone, iPad and iPod touch devices in the wild.

The figures were derived from logs which count unique iOS devices that had accessed the App Store on October 7, 2016. Apple typically refreshes iOS adoption rate figures every other week.

In comparison, iOS 9 was installed on a little more than fifty percent of active devices less than two weeks after its release in the fall of 2015, making it the operating system with the fastest ever adoption rates.

iOS 9 hit 57 percent adoption three weeks after launch, reaching 61 percent of active iOS hardware in a little more than a month following its September 16 release.

Apple notifies developers of App Store price fluctuations in New Zealand & South Africa

As it has done in other instances in the past, Apple today announced that it is updating App Store prices in South Africa and New Zealand. It’s good news for users in Africa, however, as prices will go down, while prices will increase in New Zealand.


In South Africa, Apple explains that prices will go down in order to account for foreign exchange rates. This change will occur over the next 72 hours, Apple says.

Within the next 72 hours, prices for the apps and in-app purchases (excluding subscriptions) will decrease in South Africa to account for foreign exchange rates.

In New Zealand, Apple says that the introduction of goods and services tax is causing prices to increase.

Processeds for the App Store in New Zealand (including subscriptions) will change to account for the interaction of goods and services tax (GST), effective since October 1, 2016. Prices on the App Store won’t change.

Developers affected by the change will see their prices adjust and should have received an email.

Upgraded to 10.1 on my iPhone 6 and had a WhatsApp update, now my WhatApp does not display the unread (badge) count on the icon on the home screen. Checked all the settings and everything is enabled.

Anyone else experience this issue?
