IOS 10.2 Available With New TV App, New Emoji and More Tweaks
Apple just released iOS 10.2 which, in addition to the usual bug fixes included in these incremental updates, is also adding some new emojis and a new TV app.
An important new feature here is a new TV app that replaces the built-in Video app. Now, in addition to simply playing any videos purchased from iTunes, it can also play and search for content in compatible apps. For example, if you watch one TV show on Showtime and another on Starz, both will appear on the TV app, but you’ll still watch the actual content on the third-party app. The idea is to keep everything you watch in a centralized location. When you download the TV app for the first time, it will automatically scan your device for compatible apps. At the moment, the list of applications is rather small, but we hope that it will grow over time. TvOS is also receiving a minor update today in tvOS 10.1, which includes the same TV app as iOS.
Otherwise, you’ll also get 72 new emojis , including a terrifying clown and avocado face, a new ability to save camera settings, several new wallpapers, a return of star ratings in music, a single sign-on for multiple TV providers, several new iMessage screen effects, and several others. minor changes. You can download iOS 10.2 for your device by going to Settings> General> Software Update. You can find a complete list of updates on Apple .
