iOS 16 will launch this Monday. Previewed during the WWDC 2022 keynote, its
been three months since Apple started beta testing the new operating system
for iPhones. Unfortunately, some of its key features wont be available at
launch.
Last year, the same happened with several functions, whether they were
delayed during the beta cycles or Apple just decided they werent ready just
yet.
With that in mind, here are the features you shouldnt expect to see until
later this year.
iOS 16 redesigned Lock Screen is for sure one of the coolest features
arriving with this new operating system, but not everything that Apple
previewed with it will be available. According to the company, these two
features will arrive later this year:
Live Activities: Live Activities help you stay on top of things that are
happening in real-time, right from your Lock Screen;
Live Activities API: Follow an ongoing sports game or track the progress
of your ride or order with just a glance. Glance at Live Activities from
your favorite third-party apps with the new developer API.
Without Live Activities arriving with iOS 16 first public version, the App
Clips wont support it when the new operating system launches, although it
will feature an increased size limit and precise location suggestions in
Spotlight and Siri Suggestions widgets.
Expected for iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS Ventura, Freeform a new flexible
canvas will also launch later this year.
iOS 16 Live Activities
With the Freeform app, users will have a canvas for diagramming new
projects, and having real-time collaboration, while chatting via iMessage or
FaceTime.
This whiteboard has plenty of space for lots of people working together by
writing or drawing.
Game Center will also lack features when iOS 16, iPadOS 16, and macOS
Ventura launch as these two features will need a bit more time:
SharePlay support: Games that use Game Center multiplayer support have
SharePlay integration. You can start playing automatically with friends on a
FaceTime call;
Contacts integration: Contacts show your friends Game Center profiles.
Tap through to see what they are playing and accomplishing in games.
For iOS 16 and tvOS 16, Matter support wont launch until sometime later
this year. Matter is a new smart home connectivity standard that will enable
compatible accessories to work together seamlessly, across platforms. Matter
will allow you to choose from even more compatible smart home accessories
and control them with the Home app and Siri on Apple devices.
For iPadOS 16, Focus filter, which will be the ability to set boundaries
within Apple apps like Calendar, Mail, Messages, and Safari to draw
boundaries for each Focus you enable, wont launch with the first version of
iPadOS 16.
Last but not least, a few days after announcing the release date of iOS 16,
Apple said the iCloud Shared Photo Library wont be available at launch
most likely due to iPadOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura delay. Heres how Apple
describes this feature:
iCloud Shared Photo Library gives families a new way to share photos
seamlessly with a separate iCloud library that up to six users can
collaborate on, contribute to, and enjoy. Users can choose to share existing
photos from their personal libraries, or share based on a start date or
people in the photos.
A user can also choose to send photos to the Shared Library automatically
using a new toggle in the Camera app. Additionally, users will receive
intelligent suggestions to share a photo that includes participants in the
Shared Photo Library. Every user in the Shared Photo Library has access to
add, delete, edit, or favorite the shared photos or videos, which will
appear in each users Memories and Featured Photos so that everyone can
relive more complete family moments.
iPadOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura will also be delayed
According to Bloomberg, Apple will delay the iPadOS 16 and macOS 13 Ventura
launch by a month. Journalist Mark Gurman reports that the company is aiming
at an October release alongside macOS 13 Ventura.
While Apple has usually released macOS updates after the other operating
systems, it seems the same will happen with iPadOS this year to make sure
Stage Manager and other new features work smoother.
Wrap up
As were just a few days away from the iOS 16 release, well probably learn
more about delayed features before the beta cycle ends. Well make sure to
update this article once we hear what other functions will be delayed
lets hope that not as much as iOS 15.
