iOS 16 Features That Make Your Phone Better
iOS 16 is the latest version of Apple’s operating system. This operating system brings new features such as a more lively and customizable Lock Screen, the ability to undo or edit iMessage and email scheduling in the Mail app. This article offers an overview of all the new features in iOS 16, compatible devices and other related information.
Updated Lock Screen
The lock screen in iOS 16 has undergone a major overhaul, being called the ‘biggest update ever to the lock screen’. Users can customize their lock screen by tapping on any area to change styles, colour filters and font. Additionally, users are not only limited to just one lock screen, similar to creating a watch face on the Apple Watch, but users can also swipe between different lock screens to access different widgets based on their needs.
Edit Sent Message
On iMessage, users now have the option to Undo Send to delete messages they accidentally send. If you have a typo in your message, there is an option to edit the message just like the social platform Telegram. It will also show that the text has been edited. Using this feature will allow users to edit only within 15 minutes of sending the message.
Schedule Emails
Users can schedule delivery time in advance and cancel it in a short time after it has been sent so that it doesn’t reach the recipient’s inbox. The Mail app will also detect if the user has omitted something important, such as an attachment.
Users can also use a later reminder to choose to redisplay an email at any specific date and time, and the follow-up suggestion will automatically remind users to follow up on emails that have not yet been answered.
The Mail app also uses advanced technology to provide more accurate and comprehensive search results. The moment a user starts searching for an email, they can immediately see the latest emails, contacts, documents and links.
Display Battery Percentage
iPhones with a notch finally get an option to show battery percentage on the status bar.
Live Text
In iOS 15, it could only recognize text in pictures. With iOS 16, it can recognize text in videos, and support translating the recognized text directly, making calls and other operations. It means you can pause while watching a movie to copy the text and translate it.
It also allows users to quickly and precisely extract the main content in an image. Only by pressing the image for a few seconds, you can cut it out and drag it to other apps for sharing or transmitting, such as messages, emails, memos etc.
Medication Reminder
Apple has the perfect solution for those who forget to take their medication on time. Users can keep track of their medications, vitamins and supplements and create custom schedules and reminders for each.
They can keep a log of these medications in the Health app and share the data with their doctor or caregiver.
