iOS 10 Upgrades To Help Manage Your Business

At first, it caused a lot of headaches, but once users figure out what iOS 10 has to offer, it can help manage business and personal affairs more efficiently. Apple‘s changes to iOS 10 include enhancements for developers, app users, iMessage and more. Here’s a few changes that you might find useful.
SIRI
Siri has big changes for users and developers thanks to SiriKit SDK. According to Mac Rumors, Apple’s personal assistant can now serve ride booking, messaging, photo search, payments, VoIP calling and workouts.
That means you can talk to Siri in the globally popular messaging app WhatsApp, which has over one billion users according to its blog.
APPS
Apps are huge in iOS 10, especially ones that help with security. For a secure end-to-end encryption message app, download Confide. Users have the option to either go through the app or iMessage. Whichever you use, the messages won’t be duplicated. For transportation needs, you can ask Siri to call a car on the Uber or Lyft app. Convo is the Google Drive for business. Teams can securely share work and discuss files. Sending messages feels like you are talking with someone, according to the description in the app store. In this case, that someone is Siri.
iMESSAGE
Venmo and Square Cash are now integrated in the redesigned iMessage, meaning users can send or receive payments without having to open the individual apps. For Venmo, as soon as the message is sent, the money is automatically withdrawn from the account.
In addition to the changes to iOS 10, Apple is also partnering with audit and consulting firm, Deloitte. Apple said the partnership will “help companies quickly and easily transform the way they work by maximizing the power, ease-of-use and security the iOS platform brings to the workplace through iPhone and iPad,” according to a press release on the company website. Deloitte uses over 100,000 iOS devices by its workforce running 75 custom apps.
