IOS 10.2 also provides fixes for bugs in Messages, Photos, Music, Camera, Mail, Siri, FaceTime, Safari and VoiceOver. HomeKit - accessories finally receive notification support which is big news in particular for IoT devices like smoke alarms News - a new ‘Saved’ section for, well, stories you’ve saved - making this a Pocket/Instapaper rival, a ‘For You’ section also shows paid stories from your subscription channels and you can now swipe left to go to the next story when reading.
