iOS 16 will launch later today. Announced during the WWDC 2022 keynote in
June, iPhone users will finally be able to take advantage of this operating
system. Here are the five best features of iOS 16 that I think youll love
Edit, unsend, and unread Messages on iOS 16
iOS 16 is bringing some major improvements to iMessage. When its available
to all users, youll have 15 minutes to edit and two minutes to unsend any
messages. This is very useful when you misspelled a word or send the wrong
message to the wrong person.
When editing a message, Apple will now show the history of the edited
message plus the user will have up to five chances to edit that content.
Unread, on the other hand, is useful to help you keep track of what messages
you want to answer later. Its important to notice that at least edit and
unsend message features will need all devices to be running iOS 16, iPadOS
16, macOS 13 Ventura, or watchOS 9.
A brand new Lock Screen to your current iPhone
The most important feature of iOS 16 or at least the most noticeable is
the new Lock Screen. It offers a handful of new customization, letting you
edit the Lock Screen almost any way you want.
Its easy to customize the font, color, or placement of elements on your
Lock Screen by tapping them. With a multilayered photo effect, photo
subjects are dynamically displayed in front of the time to make the subject
of the photo pop.
In addition, you can also add, for the first time, widgets to the Lock
Screen in iOS 16 and not only widgets made by Apple, but third-party
widgets as well.
iOS 16 brings groundbreaking Live Text feature to video
Live Text was already great with iOS 15. You could grab information from a
photo by selecting the text available, a telephone or address, for example.
Now, with Live Text in videos, the text is completely interactive in paused
video frames, so you can use functions like copy and paste, lookup, and
translate.
In addition, Live Text with iOS 16 adds recognition of Japanese, Korean, and
Ukrainian text. Last but not least, data detected in photos and videos is
actionable with a single tap. Track flights or shipments, translate foreign
languages, convert currencies, and more.
Focus Mode is getting even more useful in iOS 16
Focus Mode was the most important feature of the update.
Now, this function is getting even better.
For example, the Lock Screen can link with your Focus Mode. So if youre
working, your Lock Screen will reflect the Focus set.
With Focus filters, you can set Apple apps like Calendar, Mail, Messages,
and Safari to draw boundaries for each Focus you enable. In addition, you
can have a Focus turn on automatically at a set time or location, or while
using a certain app, which is more useful than just a particular time.
For a passwordless future, meet Passkeys in iOS 16
Passkeys plans to replace passwords with an easier and safer sign-in method
by using your face or fingerprint with Face ID/Touch ID.
Its protected against phishing and website leaks, since passkeys never
leave your device and are specific to the site you created them for, making
it almost impossible for them to be phished or hacked.
In addition, Passkeys syncs across devices and lets you sign in to other
devices. Apple says that it is trying to reach an industry standard so you
can sign in to websites or apps on other devices, including non-Apple
devices, with your saved passkey by scanning the QR code with your iPhone or
iPad and using Face ID or Touch ID to authenticate.
Wrap up
These are the five iOS 16 features that I consider the most important.
