Just my 2 cents on the design of the iOS10 lock screen notifications: Yuck!
I really hope they revert that design and go back to the current iOS9 style notifiations. Way too bright on a dark wallpaper.
Some translucency would resolve the issue, combined with a notification background colour that matches the wallpaper.
yup. agree. +1
to big. too self important. i prefer just having the icon tell me what app the alert is from, i don't also need it to say 'messages' 'phone' etc etc. too much stuff. and prefer a more unobtrusive window style. this has headers and sections and just makes each notif a huge production.
also: is it supposed to be that even when locked i can 3dtouch to activate a text and reply to it?? i think it may be better to have to unlock to respond. unlocking after all is so easy as to not be a time **** in any way. in fact, you have to work harder to NOT unlock the phone if you don't want to - use a finger that's not programmed, or a knuckle or something - because touchid just works so fast.
or, at least make it a preference whether or not messages can be responded to when locked. 2¢.
lol: i can't use the word "****" in the forum??? oh boy. what is this world coming to.
edit:
lol. i guess not.
the word i'm trying to use is es you see kay.. it means to use ones lips and mouth to get something down, or, as in this case, with the prefix 'time-', it means to take an inordinate amount of it.
goodness gracious. calm down people.
Time suck...is that what you meant?
Of course you could burn bits and say 'an excessive session based investment'...
A couple of observations. All of the UILocalNotification API has been depreciated and a new framework introduced called UserNotifications. I suggest you take a look at it. Lots of the app delegate protocol methods are also gone, see framework for new API.
It appears that a collapsing feature has been included in the API so like notifications could collapse into each other. This might make the new look make more sense but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
Also, when you use TouchID now, it doesn't automatically unlock, as pointed out by Craig in the keynote at time 50:50.
Finally, the reply to message is indeed an option to turn on and off for availability on the lock screen. See Touch ID and Passcode in the Settings app.
i haven't seen the notifs collapse into like notifs, they just stack. perhaps that's coming. i see in the api.
touchid does unlock, it just takes you to the notifs screen instead of right to springboard.
i see that setting in passcode for view messages now, thanks, that might do it.
thx for the response.
so, my experience is no matter what the toggle switch for 'allow access when locked: notifications view' is set to, on or off, i can reply to a text by 3Dtouching the notif. this is the behavior i'm talking about.
also, the like notifications do not collapse. there is a separate notif tile for each.
i'm feeling this a bit clunky for my taste, just wanted to see what others thought. and as for the text reply, i do think that should be a pref toggle. that's not cool if people can respond to a text. i'd like the choice. now my only choice is don't show notifs for messages on lock screen.
