Messaging just got a lot more fun. In addition to the new and updated emoji, iOS 10 comes with a fancy new feature which lets the emoji speak for themselves. This cool new keyboard function allows you to tap on words that correspond with emoji, such as "apple," "beach," "basketball," etc. and replace them with the actual emoji image.

6. Sharing web links got even easier

Somehow, iOS 10 has made the not-so strenuous action of copying and pasting web links even easier.

Rather than pressing on a link to copy and pasting it in the desired location, iOS 10 allows you to easily share links by long-pressing them.

Once you hold your finger on the link you wish to send, a new "Share" option will appear.

9. You can finally open the Camera app while playing music

Hallelujah! iOS 10 finally fixed one of the more irritating iPhone features -- the inability to simultaneously listen to music and open up the Camera app. In iOS 10, audio playback is now unaffected when the Camera app is enabled -- until, of course, video mode is activated.
