Apple’s iMessage App Store goes live ahead of iOS 10 release

Apple made the entire iMessage App Store available to iOS 10 beta users yesterday, ahead of today’s iOS 10 launch. The store includes apps like OpenTable, games like Words with Friends, and exclusive sticker packs from big names like Disney and Nintendo. While some of the new apps are standalone exclusives to the iMessage App Store, many others are simply extensions of existing apps already available in Apple’s primary App Store. The sticker packs are a varied bunch as well, ranging from the simple Super Mario Run tie-in that doesn’t do much of anything, all the way to Disney’s animated Star Wars stickers that can be peeled and pasted directly onto messages. We’ll have more on the iMessage App Store’s new offerings as we delve into iOS 10 after today’s public release. [via 9to5Mac]
