Apple has released the third developer beta version of iOS 10.2 for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. iOS 10 is a solid replacement for iOS 9 but it far from perfect. The new updated operating system which is iOS 10.2 includes several upcoming features like new Unicode 9.0 emoji, three new iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus wallpapers, a new TV app, additional camera features and much more.
The new iOS 10.2 will be released to everyone in the future, and a free public beta program is available for non-developers. Acording to BGR, the company might release the new iOS 10.2 later today. But before that happens, let us look at the featured update.
New Emojis
As reported by Gotta Be Mobile, the crown jewel of the iOS 10.2 upgrade, for most people, will be the new emojis. Apple’s upcoming new iOS update ships with Unicode 9.0 support, which adds dozens of new emoji. In fact, there are 72 new emoji headed your way in iOS 10.2, and that doesn’t even include all of the old emoji that have been redesigned.
