iOS 16: Every new feature that Apple demonstrates at WWDC

This is part of the story WWDC 2022CNET’s full coverage of Apple’s annual developer conference.

Apple’s next major iPhone, iOS 16, made a lot of noise WWDC 2022, Apple’s annual developer conference. With iOS 16 you will be able to Edit messages you’ve already sent in the Messages appand you get new tools to personalize your iPhone personalize the look of your lock screen and New privacy features for abusers. All this is added to iOS, which looks fresh and modern on paper. iOS 16 will most likely be released in September this year There is a lot of talk about the iPhone 14 and will be available for iPhone 8 and later models.

The first review of Apple’s iOS 16 was filmed ahead of schedule and broadcast online and outdoors to a small audience on the lawn at Apple Park, the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. The main speech of the WWDC took place after May 16 Release of iOS 15.5 This includes updates to Apple Cash, Photos Memories and Podcasts. Apple also recently launched a developer beta for iOS 15.6, which lacks any major new features and seems to be mostly bug fixes.

iOS 16 allows you to edit messages and “cancel sending”

Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering, said that “embarrassing typographical errors are a thing of the past.”

First, on iOS 16 You will be able to edit the messages sent. So if you see a typo after the message, you will be able to edit the message after the fact. A small “edit” appears in the status at the bottom of the message.

Next – and this can be my favorite new Messages feature – you can immediately recall a sent message. If you accidentally send an incomplete message, you can use the Send Feedback tool to prevent it from being read and make it less chaotic for your friends and family.

Finally, you can mark messages and topics as unread. This can be a great tool for times when you don’t have time to respond to a message right now, but want to make sure you get back to it later.

Your iPhone gets a new personalized lock screen

One of the things you look at most on your iPhone is the lock screen, especially if you have an iPhone with Face ID. Brings iOS 16 The most important update on the iPhone lock screen. Press and hold to lock your lock screen: You can slide to try several different styles. Each style changes the color filter of the background image and the font on the lock screen so that everything complements each other. It’s a bit like Apple’s use of Google’s Material You, which runs Android 12.

You can also customize the fonts for the time and date to your taste and add lock screen widgets such as temperature, activity rings and calendar. Widgets are similar to the complications that occur on the Apple Watch lock screen.

You can even set up multiple personalized lock screens with different widgets and easily slide to switch between them. There is even a photo blending option that automatically changes the images on your lock screen.

A feature we hope to see added by Apple it was always a show that was on display. This is something that is present in almost all Android phones; even the Apple Watch does so. I think there is hope that he will go out with her iPhone 14.

Notifications and live activities

Sometimes notifications can obscure the image of your lock screen, so iOS 16 moves notifications to the bottom of your screen. When you receive them, they look like a vertical carousel instead of entering the list. Not only does this look better, but it should be a great help to use the iPhone with one hand.

iOS 16 aims to solve another notification problem. Sometimes you get a lot of notifications from one program after another, such as an update to a basketball game. A new tool for developers called Live Activities makes it easier to stay up to date with real-time events from your lock screen instead of taking a series of breaks.

Live Activities should make it easy to track sports events, workouts, or even the progress of an Uber trip.

After Wallet and Apple Pay

More state IDs will be available in your Wallet application, along with more security and privacy features. In iOS 16, you can also protect your identity and age. So, instead of showing your exact date of birth, the wallet program will show your ID card and that you are over 21 years old.

iOS 16 makes it easy to share keys with apps like Mail and Messages. When your friend gets the key, he can add it to the Wallet app on the iPhone. Apple said it is working to make sure shared keys are industry-standard and free for others.

Apple Pay will support new payment types and add a new feature called Then Apple PayIs a Clarn-like service that allows you to divide the cost of your Apple Pay purchase into four equal payments that are distributed over six weeks at zero interest and no commission. Upcoming payments are managed through the Wallet application, which makes it easy to track dates and payments.

But Apple Pay doesn’t end there. The new feature will also help track Apple Pay orders and allow merchants to deliver detailed receipts and tracking information. This should make it easier to be aware of the status of all your orders.

Tap on Visual Search and drag for photos

In iOS 15, Visual Look Up analyzes your photos and can identify objects such as plants, signs, and pets. iOS 16 takes it to the next level. When you touch the subject of a photo like the dog in the picture above, you can remove it from the background and add it to apps like Messages. In fact, it is a touch and storage tool that erases the background of the photo.

Apple sometimes uses the word “magic” a lot, but this feature really looks like that.

SharePlay Comes to Messages

SharePlay, which debuted on iOS 15, allows you to get a shared experience when connecting with someone via FaceTime. You can watch TV shows, listen to synchronous music and more. iOS 16 adds the ability to find more applications that support SharePlay within FaceTime.

But perhaps one of the best things Apple did for SharePlay was working on its Messaging app. Apple said that this is one of the biggest desires of software developers. Now when you want to share a movie on Disney Plus, you can start SharePlay with your friend while chatting in Messages.

Safety Check aims to help people in abusive relationships

Security Verification is a new feature designed to be useful to people in abusive relationships. This allows you to view and reset iPhone location information, as well as passwords, messages, and other iPhone apps.

Focus mode updates and Focus filters

Focus mode gets several updates. The first applies Focus behaviors to widgets and lock screen views. So you can have a lock screen when your Work Focus is active, and another lock screen for training.

Apple has added special Focus filters that apply the iPhone’s Focus mode within applications. For example, in Safari, you can restrict which icons are displayed depending on the Focus mode you have activated.

Apple Maps adds transit fare cards

Maps will receive several updates. You will be able to plan trips with up to 15 different stops along the way. If you start planning a trip with the Maps app on your Mac, you’ll be able to share it on your iPhone.

And in something similar to what Google announced for Google Wallet on Android 13, you’ll be able to look at transit fare estimates, as well as add more money to your fare card from Apple Maps.

iCloud family checklist

iCloud is gaining several new features. One of the more interesting is the option to quickly install a new device for your child. When Quick Start appears, you have the option to select a user for the new device and use all available parental controls that you previously selected and configured. However, this is not what most of us still want: the ability to set up separate users for the same device.

As a reminder to check your spatial sharing settings or to share your iCloud Plus subscriptions, there’s a new family checklist with tips for updating your settings as your kids get older.
