iOS 16 Top Features
Apple has already announced all the features of the iOS 16 at WWDC 2022. Here’s everything you need to know about it.
Customisable Lock Screen
This is the most visually impressive collection on iOS 16. Apple’s latest version of iOS includes a lock screen that can now be customized. Previously, it was just a wallpaper with a clock, but now you can customise the look of the date and time, add multilayer effects, and more. It now allows you to create multiple lock screens with different colours, emojis, photos, widgets, and other features. The new lock screen will also include organized notifications and live activities.
Battery Percentage
Even though this is a minor feature on Android phones. Apple has included battery percentage in iOS 16 beta version 5, which suggests that we may see it in the final version. Users will no longer need to contact the control center to view the battery percentage. Instead, it will be visible in the battery icon on the notification status. With the introduction of Face ID iPhones in 2017, the feature was phased out.
Remove Background From Image
Lift Subject from Background is a useful feature in iOS 16. It, as the name implies, removes the background from a photograph. Simply press and hold an image for a few seconds, and the subject will begin to shake. Simply copy it and paste it into another app; the photo will be added as a different picture there. Photos, screenshots, quick looks, and Safari will all have the feature.
New iMessage Features
The iMessage app gets a slew of new features with iOS 16. Users can now recall or edit a sent message in the new version of iMessage. Not only that, but you can recover your deleted messages as well. SharePlay, Apple’s video watch party app, will also be available in iMessage. Users will be able to play synced content such as movies or songs on the Messages app as a result of this.
