I was about 14 "pages" into this thread and can't believe that no else caught this - the improvements to the stock Maps app are pretty "huge". First, the one-finger-tap-and-zoom in Google Maps and INRIX is available in Apple Maps now. More importantly - to me - the aerial imagery has been significantly updated; aerial imagery available last and this year is showing in Maps as opposed to 2010/2011 imagery that still are showing up in the 10.3.x Maps app (I checked).
Anyone lost the 'Facebook, Twitter, Vimeo' options in the Settings app? Sharing to Twitter is telling me there's no Twitter account configured.
Special one time sign ins for FB/Twitter/Vimeo/Flickr etc has been removed for privacy reasons ostensibly, but I also suspect not wanting to appear to favour certain services when there are myriads of them.
I posted in the wiki that the Maps app data is significantly updated, at least in my region. The aerial imagery is now current, updated by at least several years. Also, navigation via a "single-finger tap-and-hold" similar to Google Maps or INRIX is now available.
Odd that it'd show 'No Twitter account configured', maybe a bug? Facebook works fine.
Installed the beta on my 9.7 Pro. Been having quite a few freezes. When I tried moving a few apps they would just stay in place with the small x showing. Also as seen in the picture I'm having rotation issues. Enjoying the keyboard flick on the iPad but aside from that the best feature is definitely files. Really enjoying maximizing capabilities there.
However, this is a very rough build and people should be aware of that going in. If you can't handle it on a main device revert back or install the beta on a device you don't primarily use.
Google's fault for not conforming to iOS UI design guidelines
But seriously... It needs to be fixed.
Not sure if it's been mentioned yet, but I noticed that the share sheet in the Notes app shows a button to change the paper style. That's actually pretty cool!
You can now also add tables by the way!

Each point is a spotlight focused on the centre. Imagine stage lights. That's how I see it anyway.
It totally ignores the brightness setting you have in ios10. Not really surprised.
It’s fantastic as a night mode! I’m using it now on this forum (almost midnight here). I can’t post a screenshot though because they just come out normal like it’s not inverted. This is a display rendering trick that the screen grab doesn’t pick up.
When I’m in Messages, the Smart Inverted Colors mode doesn’t flip the photos in reverse so they all look normal.
While dragging one app, tap another app without letting go. The same way demonstrated in the keynote to move more than one file at a time. Which by the way you can also do in Files for iPhone.
It still works. You just need to continue to swipe all the way up. It then brings up a new spaces layout that also has control centre.How do you activate control centre on ipad if swipe up no longer works?
