IOS 10 is probably the best version of iOS; what Apple has been developing since a long time now. iOS 10 is a very feature-rich version, which is available for latest iOS devices. It comes with a lot of new features such as Low-Quality image, Bedtime, Raise to Wake, Lock Screen Widgets and much more. With the help of those new features, you can certainly increase your productivity.
However, if you are using iOS 10, you might have seen that it shows notification preview on the lock screen. For instance, if you get an email, you can check that on your lock screen. In other words, Apple included this feature so that user can check their notification without unlocking the device.
But, this particular feature has a disadvantage. All the people can see your message or email or anything that has arrived on your iOS 10 device and they do not have to know your mobile password. Suppose, you often get a confidential email that should not be disclosed. But, anyone can see your email right on your lock screen. The worst thing is some messaging services such as WhatsApp lets users reply to the message without unlocking the device. Which means, you can check the WhatsApp message on the lock screen, swipe and hold from right to left to get View option. Following that, it is possible to reply to that WhatsApp message right from the lock screen.
