New Apple iOS will predict when you want to use emojis

Apple announced a major overhaul of its signature iMessage system Monday during its annual World Wide Developers Conference. The new iOS 10 will host emojis at three times larger than their current size, as well as use predictive AI to identify where users might want to use emojis in their texts.

The new iMessage system will also allow for rich HTML links with pictures and videos; users will additionally be able to use their fingers to hand-write messages — or even send their heart rate to a beloved.

Voicemails will also helpfully be transcribed into text, so you never have to use that pesky inbox again.
