As we’ve discussed during previous beta releases, the highlights of iOS 10.2 are the addition of new Unicode 9.0 emoji, the TV app and some stunning new wallpapers, but that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the new version of iOS 10.

There are also new sorting options in the Music app (as well as the return of star ratings), the ability to preserve previously used camera settings, a widget for the Videos app, new Screen Effects and an SOS feature to call 911.
