Apple releasing first Public Betas of iOS 10 and macOS Sierra today

Sierra has fixed the problem I had with Safari regularly hanging and crashing on certain sites. I somehow manage to get an extra 20GB of HD space without doing anything at all which is nice. Desktop Siri is really useful too.
Unlike El Capitan, it isn't reading my NTFS USB HDD at all and I had to install a driver to sort that.

I just installed GM today from iOS 9, and I have a gif search app preinstalled in iMessage.

Yeah. Works for me too.
Fine here!

With iOS 10 does your phone sense when it's moving an turn the screen on automatically?

On a 6s or later, yes
Does that happen when it's in your pocket?

It's a pretty modest update for the most part but it's a solid one. With Siri out of the way, there's not a lot in the way of low-hanging fruit for macOS updates - but I suppose that's one more reason to add the OLED bar and TouchID on the MacBook Pro (and presumably other future Macs).
They can always get rid of cruft like the Dashboard, iTunes, and (lol) Launchpad next, I suppose. Maybe introduce a Lock Screen and Control Center, I guess?
I feel like macOS is always the afterthought now. Messages got a huge update on iOS. The Mac got half of it. Maps got a huge update on iOS. The Mac update is half-baked and not well thought out.

Is there an option to turn it off? I assume it eats at the battery.
I'm not sure.

Raise to Wake in the display settings, yes. I can't imagine it messes with the battery too bad
Honestly I've gotten crazy used to it. I consider it essential
Raise to wake seems to need fairly gross movements to turn on, and after timing out when vertical it doesn't seem to enable again with jiggling (to simulate pocket action). So it probably doesn't wake when walking
It's a good feature but I hope they tweak it. I'd like to be able to tap the screen to wake it, or wake from smaller movements like a small tilt when I just want to check the time or a notification.

Handwritten iMessages don't seem to be animated for me any more. Any idea how to fix that?
I don't know, it works pretty flawlessly for me. Especially when pick it off my desk at work to check notifications.
Probably not. I'd think that they'd use the light sensor as well to know whether it's in your pocket or not.

Anyone using the IOS10 GM in Japan? I am wondering about the feature that lets third party app calls appear as normal phone calls...I have LINE but it hasn't changed at all when a person calls me--it's still a normal app notification, not a phone call.
We are not going to see any changes until Apple starts accepting apps built for iOS10 probably sometime next week. Shouldn't be long until LINE gets the feature, it stays really up to date with near weekly updates.
BTW Japanese Maps still don't have transit data.
I am hoping the new FeliCa support includes pasmo with 定期, but I'm sure it won't *sigh*

Cool, thanks for the info. As an Apple Watch owner I'm quite dissapointed that my watch won't support FeliCa, but...oh well. Using the watch as a Suica payment seems way better than the phone (which I have pre-ordered) but I don't feel like dishing out the cash to upgrade my watch.

When is IOS 10 officially out to update?
16th with the iPhone 7 I would think?

On 13 Tuesday.

Oh - apparently no public beta for watch OS 3? So that was a waste of time then
You can get the developer profile. AFAIK there are a few sites that host them. Simply uninstall it via the watch app once you've initiated the GM download (that's what I did), works like a charm.

Is there any way to sort songs in the music app by song title and not artist name?
It's so stupid that it sorts songs by artist when there's already an artist tab.

can you not turn on airplay without turning on mirroring any more?
Zeyphersan

If you're trying to turn on airplay audio you'll want to do it from the second control center panel
You can, to get the non-mirroring airplay functionality you have to start the content on your iOS device, go to control center then swipe over to where the music would be and start airplay from there. Really unintuitive.

Thanks. Why they have it on artist by default I'll never know:/
Mine too! I have a regular 6 if that matters...

for showing Photos on the Apple TV, I usually just use the non-mirroring. Seems like this doesn't exist in CC any more. In Photos, I can hit the Share button, then Airplay and that does the same thing.
Not sure why they took it out of CC.
The new Music App is full of stupid things like that. Not only is it ugly, drab and poorly layed out, but it is also in your face with everything being twice the size as needed. They got rid of useful features like seeing previously played songs, and seeing most popular by genre, and at least on iPad and iTunes any title that is moderately long gets clipped off, which means you have to go into the playlist to see the full title, of course you also have to be clear at the top, because instead of doing the reasonable thing and having the title in title bar they shoved it somewhere else.

Upset to see that the Spotify hold to preview song crash is still in the gold master.
works well on a 5s so I imagine so
fine here.
Thanks! If only I hadn't lost my USB drive

Been running for a week. No major show stoppers yet.
Lilith has been using it. It runs good
Whaaaat? It's gone on my fiancées and my iOS devices (4 in total)...why would it be gone on some and not on others :/?
Reddit post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/ios/comments/520zv0/ios_10_beta_gif_search_gone_in_imessage/
Edit: sorry for the double post
