10 Best New iOS 16 Features for iPhone
The beginning of autumn is the time when the iPhone receives an operating system update. The new iOS 16 is already available to owners of models from iPhone 8 to iPhone 14. Apple says that the operating system offers “completely new personalization features, deep intelligence and more convenient means of communication.” Here are ten exciting new features included in the update.
Lock screen settings
Flexible lock screen customization includes a style gallery and the ability to add widgets for weather, sports scores, calendar and more. Users will be able to customize fonts, combine background images with time and date display. Focus settings will allow you to switch the notifications that will be displayed on the lock screen.
Editing text messages
iOS 16 allows you to edit outgoing messages within 15 minutes of sending – but no more than five corrections are allowed. If you really didn’t mean what you said, you can cancel sending the message altogether within 2 minutes. You can also mark a message as unread if you want to return to it later.
Fast-forward audio messages
Repeatedly listening to long messages will be a thing of the past thanks to the ability to fast forward and rewind audio messages.
Invitation to cooperation
If you want to start a project, you can send a message to a group of employees – each recipient will be added to the document or table that you want to share. This feature will work with Apple Files, Keynote, Numbers, Pages, Notes, Reminders, and Safari, as well as third-party apps. Then, when someone makes a change to, say, a Pages document, the update will be posted at the top of the message branch.
Share bookmarks
Another feature for collaboration. It allows you to share a group of Safari bookmarks with friends. Tabs can be filled by any user. The update will be pushed to everyone immediately.
Siri hangs up
Do you find it hard to finish a conversation when your hands are full? Now you can simply ask Siri with the command “Hey Siri, hang up”. However, it will not be possible to do this inconspicuously – you will be heard on the other side.
Routes with several stops
Planning a trip with several stops? Now you can add multiple destinations to the route you’re building and you’ll be guided from stop to stop.
