Apple iOS 10.2 brings ‘special feature’ for users in India :

Apple’s latest iOS update, iOS 10.2, has a ‘special feature’ for the company’s users in India. The update brings in the India-specific distress call ‘SOS’ button feature to iPhones in the country.
Although the official changelog does not mention the SOS button feature, users in India can see the option after the update under the Settings>General menu.

Triggering the SOS will directly call the 112 number, as specified by the government. The number will also be saved in the handset’s contact automatically as Distress Number. However, using the feature won’t be of any use now as the 112 emergency number will be adopted by India in January next year.

Under the option, users can customise the SOS settings. Some customisations include the number of times you can tap on the Power button to trigger the emergency call or to make the countdown audible and more.

Another major addition in the Apple iOS 10.2 version is the inclusion of over 100 new emojis (new faces, food, animals and professionals). The emojis are based on the latest Unicode 9.0 standard.

Improvements and fixes in the ‘Photos’ section has also been made. The update brings more stability and improved accuracy while grouping certain photos automatically. Additionally there is a support for RAW digital cameras as well.

For ‘Messages’, the iOS 10.2 adds new love and celebration full screen effects besides some fixes. The ‘Music’ app now lets you swipe up the now playing screen to access Shuffle, Repeat and Up Next options.

As a part of iOS 10.2, the News app gets a new ‘Saved’ section where all your saved news will appear. Even the paid stories from subscribed channels will also appear in a dedicated section. Swiping left from a story will open the next news piece.

As for the Mails app, the update comes with certain fixes related to Move Sheet options and more. Several fixes are also done in the Accessibility option.
