Apple iOS 10.3 Release Has A Upgraded WIFI calling!!




             iOS 10.3 is a big release packed full of new features, but dig deep

‘Great Secret Features’ and ‘Nasty Surprises’ are my regular columns investigating operating system updates for the best features / biggest problems hidden behind the headlines.

Buried in the settings of iOS 10.3 is the ability for Verizon customers to make WiFi calls without the need for your iPhone

simply navigate to "Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices" and toggle it on, you will then see all the devices you can connect and toggle them on or off individually. This brings Verizon customers parity with iPhone owners on AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile who have had access to this for some time. 


What Is This Upgraded WiFi Calling?

      In short: iOS 10.3 brings an upgraded version of WiFi Calling which allows iPhone users to make and receive WiFi calls on all their other iCloud-connected devices whether that is an iPad, iPod touch, Apple Watch or Mac. The big differentiator between what Verizon customers had before and what they will have with iOS 10.3 is WiFi Calling on these devices still works even if your iPhone is on a different WiFi network or switched off - nothing needs to be routed through your iPhone as before.  

While Verizon customers will be delighted by this addition, it is actually long overdue. After all not only do the network’s biggest rivals offer this already, but so do many smaller US carriers like MetroPCS and Simple Mobile. It has also been rolled out by several international carriers. 

    If you’re not a Verizon customer and you own an iOS device, there’s a good chance that you’re probably already familiar with the WiFi Calling feature as it has been enabled for AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile customers. In case you’re not sure what this feature is about, basically instead of using your carrier’s network, you can use WiFi to make calls.

Verizon customers eager for this enhanced WiFi Calling should jump on the iOS 10.3 beta release which is available now. If you haven’t signed up for iOS beta releases this can be done at Apple’s Beta Software Program site. Note bugs are often found in betas so if you prefer to wait for the final release of iOS 10.3 it remains about a month away.



Apple lists these devices as compatible with Wi-Fi Calling over iCloud:
  • iPad or iPod touch with iOS 9 or later
  • Apple Watch with watchOS 2 or later
  • Mac (2012 or later model) with OS X El Capitan
Apple also notes that the Mac Pro does not support this feature. Wi-Fi Calling requires a verification process on each device so the feature can’t be enabled without access to the source iPhone and the additional device.

Now Developer can change the home screen app icon with out an update Taking advantage of the iOS 10.3 SDK, developers can now use a new Instance method to specify the primary app icon as well as one or more alternate icons. iOS developer Steve Stroughton-Smith explained that apps must ask your permission before changing their icon By adding multiple app icons to an app, developers are able to change their app’s Home screen icon during promotional periods like holiday sales. Theoretically speaking, games can change their icon based on your progress while weather apps may show a different icon based on the current weather conditions. Bottom line: when iOS 10.3 releases, some iPhone, iPad and iPod touch apps may include multiple icon artwork and change their Home screen icon programmatically if certain conditions are met. By that use of developer can easily switch over the home screen icon whenever they need.!!! and the user can find that for what the reason to change the i
