Introduced at WWDC (Worldwide Web Congress) 2022 in June, iOS 16 will be officially released for iPhones next Monday. We have compiled the features of iOS 16, which will come to iPhones with the release of iPhone 14, for you.
The new version, which will be released for iPhone, brings many useful new features for iPhone users. Among the leading features of the operating system, there were features such as the arrangements made on the lock screen and the emergency button. Let’s take a look at all the innovations that will come with iOS 16.
What’s new with iOS 16:
iPhones lock screen redesigned:
With iOS 16, the lock screen is completely changed on iPhone screens. First, your wallpaper will have depth mode. If your wallpaper has a face or a person, it will stay in front of the text like clock.
You can now add widgets to lock screens. These widgets include shortcuts such as the calendar app, weather, and to-do list. In addition, you can make not only a single lock screen scheme, but also multiple lock screens and switch between them. There is even an artificial intelligence system that allows you to choose wallpaper.
Now, notifications that are too much to turn off your wallpaper on the lock screen are a thing of the past. Notifications will appear in bulk at the bottom of the screen. Finally, there will now be Live Activities on the lock screen. Thanks to this feature, you will be able to follow live matches from the lock screen, enlarge your music menu or track your progress.
The Messages app becomes like social media:
Apple’s Messages app will be one of the apps that will experience major changes with iOS 16. The Messages application will host brand new features, especially in dictation.
You can now edit sent messages in the Messages app. Thanks to the new feature called SharePlay, you will be able to watch TV series, listen to music and more with your friends remotely.
Now the Dictation feature in the Messages app will automatically add punctuation to your sentences. When you start dictating, the keyboard now stays open and you can return to typing whenever you want. This dictation feature is powered by Apple’s Neural Engine, making it easy to switch between touch typing and dictation.
Apple Wallet is getting more modern now
Apple Wallet now lets you share digital hotel keys with others, including Android users. Apple Wallet’s contactless payment feature is being enabled for merchants who want to accept payments for their products from iPhone.
Apple’s Maps app has been redesigned
Apple’s Maps app has been redesigned. With the redesigned Map application, detailed city plans of 11 countries including France, Switzerland and New Zealand will be added to the application.
With the new ‘Multiple Stops’ route system, you can set up to 15 stops on the route you set, and these routes go to the ‘Recently Drawn Routes’ tab and you can use these routes again whenever you want. You can edit these multi-stop routes on your Mac and send them to your iPhone, and you can add new stops to your route while in Apple CarPlay using Siri.
My Sports, a new tab for Apple News for sports lovers
With iOS 16, Apple’s latest iPhone operating system, a new tab is coming to Apple News. This tab is called My Sports. In this section, you will be able to follow the news, fixtures and details of the sports, leagues or teams you have chosen. In addition, as we mentioned, you can add this section to your lock screen as a live activity.
Family sharing will now be much more detailed
With the changes coming to Family Sharing, you will be able to manage the accounts you have created for your children much more easily. In the new Family Sharing application, where you can make age restrictions, you will be able to set up parental control more quickly.
When you turn on a new iPhone and put your own iPhone next to it, a ‘Quick start’ screen will appear where you can set up a new device for your child. Now in Family Sharing, when your child exceeds screen time and wants more time, you will be able to reply from the Messages app. The Family Checklist options will be updated as your child grows.
With iOS 16, your security will be given more importance
With iOS 16 comes a new feature called Security Checkup. Thanks to this tool, the Personal Security of the users will be protected. As you know, in many relationships today, people easily share their passwords and locations with each other, but this can often become a problem.
With Apple’s new Emergency button, you can cut off access to all accounts. This prevents your location from being shared with people you don’t want and prevents them from accessing your accounts. In addition, when you press this button, your iCloud accounts that are open on all other devices are closed and you do not receive messages from the Messages application from people you do not want.
Fitness app now available on all iPhones
The fitness app was previously included in watchOS for Apple Watches. With iOS 16, the Fitness app will now be available on all iPhones, even if you don’t have an Apple Watch. You will be able to track your steps and exercises from the app.
iOS 16 also brings changes to the Live Text feature
Many new features have come to the Live Text feature. You can now use Live Text on videos. You can pause a video and copy the text from there. Most importantly, just like Google Translate, you can now do live translations with the camera in the Translate app.
SpotLight tool coming to Macs coming to iPhones too
Thanks to the new SpotLight feature coming to macOS, it helps you find something easily when you search for it. For example, if you search for ‘horse photos’, you can immediately see horse photos both on the internet and on your device. You can find this feature when you click on the ‘Home’ button.
With Special Access Tokens you will be able to bypass CAPTCHAs
CAPTCHA – Completely Automated Public Turing Test tot tell Computers and Humans Apart, which protects you from harmful things on the Internet, can sometimes be a frustrating thing. You won’t have to grapple with CAPTCHAs on sites that support special access tokens that Apple will bring with iOS 16.
You will be able to separate the objects in the photos from the rest of the photo
With iOS 16, you will be able to press and hold the objects in the photos and separate them from the rest of the photo and share them on your social media accounts or messaging applications.
