Useful tips and tricks for iPhone 7
If you own an iPhone 7, you can take full advantage of the latest iOS 10 mobile operating system provided by Apple, as shown in the guide below, according to PhoneArena.
Remove unwanted applications.
With iOS 10, users can remove pre-installed apps from Apple when they no longer intend to use them. Essentially, this doesn't delete the app, but rather hides it from the list of apps displayed on the screen for a cleaner look.

The process is simple: just press and hold the app icon, just like with any other app, then tap the X button on the app you want to uninstall.
Access the camera from the lock screen.
The iOS 10 operating system gives iPhone 7 users the ability to access the camera app directly from the lock screen, but the launch process is different than before.
Specifically, while previously you would tap the camera icon in the bottom right corner and swipe up to launch it, now you only need to swipe from right to left to activate the camera app.
Access the widget panel from the lock screen.
A few years ago, widgets on iOS weren't a particularly appealing feature. However, things changed in iOS 10 when the operating system introduced a new widget frame, accessible by swiping from left to right on the Home or Lock screen, where the Spotlight search feature is located. You can also enable, disable, and switch the positions of available widgets.

Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks
Unlike previous versions of iOS, iOS 10 now has the ability to display a notification if a Wi-Fi connection to the internet is unavailable, or if you are experiencing any problems, by showing a Wi-Fi icon in the status bar.
If you access the Wi-Fi menu in Settings, you'll find several tips for troubleshooting internet access points, such as restarting your router, contacting your ISP, etc.
Better sleep control with Bedtime
Bedtime is a new addition to the clock app designed to help you sleep better by reminding you to go to bed and wake up at a predetermined time.

To use this feature, simply launch the watch app, then find the Bedtime section in the bottom bar, select the desired sleep duration each night, and your iPhone 7 will automatically adjust it.
Sending low-quality images in messages.
The new Messages app is one of the big changes in iOS 10, but interacting with so many animations without a Wi-Fi connection will drain your monthly data allowance.
Luckily, you have an option to send images at a lower quality to save data bandwidth. To do this, simply go to Settings > Messages, then scroll to the bottom and enable the Low Quality Image Mode option.
Use Memories to create slideshows from your photo library.
A new feature in the iOS 10 Photos app, called Memories, can scan your photo library and create a slideshow from hundreds or thousands of photos you own. While not a major feature, it's lightweight and very useful.

To view the slideshow, access the Photos app, then tap the Memories icon in the bottom bar. You can edit your memories by adding or removing images, trimming any video segments, changing the background music track, and more.
