Apple said during its WWDC 2016 event that iOS 10 is its biggest update ever, and we tend to agree. The iPhone maker showed off several major new features during the keynote, teasing so many other interesting tidbits that it didn’t have time to detail on stage. Some of them are so good that it simply had to be mentioned, including Notes Collaboration and Live Photo editing, while many others were only briefly displayed. Below, you’ll find a complete list of Apple’s secret iOS 10 features that didn’t make it into the big WWDC 2016 keynote presentation.
