Apple offers since yesterday evening the public betas of iOS macOS Sierra and 10. The new features are numerous enough especially for the system, but users are warned: many problems can occur. The installation will be simple cases.
Contrary to his habits, Apple ultimately did not expected that developers have received three prerelease before turning to the general public. The firm has set yesterday evening available the beta of iOS and 10 macOS Sierra. These betas are actually 2 Preview distributed to developers there a few days.
Installation and safety recommendations
Access to this beta is pretty simple. Users must first register on a specific site and inform their Apple account. If you have ever participated in this type of test program in the past, simply connect. The result depends on the device.
On a Mac, a small program will unlock the beta Sierra in the Mac App Store. The system will then install just like any other application. IOS 10, there will be prompted to download a configuration profile from the device. After a reboot, the new system will appear in the updated software in Settings, like any update to iOS. In both cases, the installation may take some time, depending on the power of the device and data
These betas – as always – can reserve surprises. This is indeed pre-release. Apple also recommends especially not install on the main engine of production or criticism. But if you have a Mac you do not use too much, or even an iPad in addition to iPhone, they are good candidates to test new products. In Sierra as in iOS 10, a utility is present to report bugs.
Many new features to test
Remember that the new test are quite plentiful, especially on iOS 10. Among them are the revision of the lock screen, richer notifications, an application widely enriched messages, a full service music works, the automatic recognition of many elements in photos and creating memories, more comprehensive plans or yet, for developers, an opening of Siri with the ability to expose data or control the votes of third-party application functions.
on the side of macOS, Sierra will have less to offer, but significant inputs are present, including Siri. The voice assistant therefore finally his grand entrance on the Mac, while available for years on iOS. He wins in passing some specific features, including everything that is related to the handling of files. Eg, you can ask her out all attachments sent by a particular person last week.
