The new version 2.16.10 of WhatsApp will now allow you to ask Siri to send messages and make calls.
In addition, the control center - the shortcuts that appear when you swipe up - has expanded to multiple screens. If you are like me, though, you just want to get to your Home screen as quickly as possible.
And don't forget, hard pressing on an incoming iMessage notification banner lets you reply to it without entering the app. This means you can use Siri to access data in the app or create a new action within the app, like ask Siri to call a auto for you using Lyft.
Quick Safari shortcuts include opening a new (private) tab and going straight to your Reading List or Bookmarks, while the Maps app icon gives you a destination preview and the ability send and mark your location or search nearby. Say, "Siri, get me an Uber" on your iOS device and you'll soon be on your way.
Above: Using Siri to compose a message in WhatsApp's iOS 10 app. You can text in your own handwriting simply by writing on your screen, draw on top of videos, send playful stickers and animations that take over a friend's entire screen, and automatically swap out words with their corresponding emojis by tapping.

The best improvements on iOS 10 aren't to specific apps but little overall tweaks.
Some pre-installed apps are only hidden from their home screen when deleted.
By this time, you should be good to go.
Rest Finger to Open is disabled by default but it is easy to turn it on. Alternatively, if you really hate the new Message Effects and don't want them popping up in your chats, you can enable the Reduce Motion option and rejoice in simple, plain text again. You likely have "reduce motion" turned on.
