iOS 10 is packed with a bunch of features, but the biggest change is coming to iMessage.
The Messages app is getting a complete overhaul, effectively turning it into Apple's own mini social network. There are so many new features that it's almost impossible to use all of them on a regular basis.
Think Snapchat is confusing to use? Then good luck digging through all the hidden gems coming to Messages. Stickers. Third-party apps. Emoji recommendations. Animated backgrounds. Videos. Disappearing messages. I've been using the beta version of iOS 10 for four days and only just now figured it all out.
And there's still more to come when the final version of iOS 10 launches for all users this fall.

Emojis are now three times larger. The app will also suggest emojis by analyzing the text you type in the field.
Type your message, then tap the emoji button on the keyboard. Some words will turn yellow. Tap on them to change them to emoji. It's much easier than hunting for the perfect emoji for what you're trying to say.
You can send doodles and sketches, just like you can on the Apple Watch.
There's a lot to unpack in this feature. Tap the heart icon next to the text field to unlock a new interface that lets you doodle messages, send taps, or even "blow a kiss." This should look very familiar to Apple Watch users.
You can also send quick videos with text scribbled on the screen.
It's very similar to Snapchat, right?
