Apple’s World Developer Conference is a major event for developers. However, the main action is the software upgrades that Apple introduces every year. This year, iOS 16 was the biggest topic of conversation as it takes a look at the new features on offer for iPhone users. Here are some key ones.
iMessage: edit, undo, and more. Although not as popular as WhatsApp, iMessage is a great tool for communication between iPhone users. Apple is now adding the ability to edit a message. So, if you made a typo or autocorrection works, then you can edit the message and send it. There’s also a cancel feature that comes with iOS 16, which will allow iPhone users to recall a message. SharePlay also comes in Messages, giving users the ability to share synced content such as movies or songs while chatting in Messages.
Better parental control If a child or teen asks for more screen time, parents will have the option to approve or decline iMessage. iOS 16 will make it easier for parents to set up new devices for children with parental control. Parents will have the opportunity to see suggestions for age-appropriate curbs. Parents also have the choice to set parental controls before the child can use the device.
The touch of AndroidApple has so far been firm in terms of customization options. With iOS 14, we saw that Apple gives users more options. iOS 16 will make it slightly Android, which means users can change the style and customize their lock screens. Users can choose the lock screen according to the focus mode, a pretty cool feature.
Goodbye to some Passkeys passwords, Apple’s password audit replacement will be more secure, easier to use, and designed to replace passwords. The access key will be a unique digital key that remains on the device and is never stored on a web server. Hackers will not be able to leak them or trick users into sharing them. Passwords will facilitate secure login using Touch ID or Face ID for biometric verification.
