Apple Releases iOS 10 Beta 5, fine here what's new

iOS 10 Beta 5

Apple released iOS 10 beta 5 for its developer preview. Users who are on the public beta will also see an update, and it is the same version. But the change log will seem smaller than the usual and this is all because the final version of the software is expected to roll out somewhere in September at the launch of Apple’s next iPhone.

The new update again arrives as an over-the-air (OTA) download for those who have been on the previous betas or who have either of the two configuration files (developer or public tester) available on their smartphones.

While the new update is still a bit too buggy, there are some improvements over the last one, even though they are not too many in number.

If you have been on the beta for a while and have been fidgeting with the iOS Photos app, you will have noticed the new facial recognition feature that groups images based on faces. Well, if you have arranged everything on your iPhone in a long list of groups, it’s all going away. This is because the new update will scan through your folders once again and rearrange whatever is currently available.

If you noticed that your iPhone 6s Smart Battery case was misbehaving after the last update, this has now been fixed. The case that is available for the iPhone 6 and 6s should now work properly.

Bored of the iOS 9 lock sound when you lock the phone? Well, there is finally something new in iOS 10 beta 5 for you. The new lock sound seems to have moved on from click to sound of door closing.

The output icon seen in the Control Center gets an update as well. The same goes for the Music app, and other locations in iOS, that seem to be slightly tweaked.

The date now appears in the swipe to the right from the home screen and even in the notifications panel (swipe right in there again).

All-in-all it’s just some minor fine-tuning taking place in iOS 10 beta 5 compared to what we noticed in the earlier betas. While it iOS 10 may be a bit annoying in the notifications area and the Control Center for some, it may seem like a good move that spaces things out for others. Like it or hate it, the bolder new look is here to stay.

Flash content will be block in google chrome and HTML5 will be default from December

Google Chrome

Adobe Flash Player played a pivotal role in the adoption of video, gaming and animation on the Web. But technologies like HTML5 can giving you improved security, reduced power consumption and faster page load times. Going forward, Chrome will block Flash in favour of HTML5.

Here’s are some point to know what that means.

Today, more than 90% of Flash on the web loads behind the scenes to support things like page analytics. This kind of Flash slows you down, and starting this September, Chrome 53 will begin to block it. Because HTML5 is much lighter and faster, and publishers are switching over to speed up page loading and save you more battery life. You’ll see an improvement in responsiveness and efficiency for many sites.

This is similar to a change made last September, when some Flash content became click-to-play with Chrome 42. This had an immediate, positive impact for our users by improving page load times and saving battery power.

In December, Chrome 55 will make HTML5 the default experience, except for sites which only support Flash. For those, you’ll be prompted to enable Flash when you first visit the site. Aside from that, the only change you’ll notice is a safer and more power-efficient browsing experience.

Flash helped make the Web a rich, dynamic experience, and shaped the modern set of web standards. We continue to work closely with Adobe to ensure that your web experience is as fast and secure as possible and to help the Web transition to HTML5.
