iOS 10 is making it easier for users to access information on their phones from the get go with raise to wake feature – simply pick up your iPhone to wake it up and your notifications will be displayed. From there you can view photos and videos or respond to a message right in notifications.

If you have tons of photos in your Photos app, then you will certainly enjoy this feature. With iOS 10 you can search your photos by the people or things in them like scenes like the beach, football game, or pets.

It was not mentioned during the keynote but it was confirmed that iOS will allow you to remove some of the built-in apps from your home screen on your iOS device. All you have to do is touch and hold the app until it jiggles, tap on the ‘x’ on the app, then press the home button to finish. Now if you want to add a previously removed built-in app, just go to the App Store, search for the app, then tap on restore / download.
