Features of Apple iOS 16
                     FEATURES OF 
APPLE IOS 16
INTRODUCTION
For iPhone users, iOS 16 is a fresh coat of paint that 
makes your iPhone almost feel ‘new.’ Originally 
announced during Apple’s keynote address at the 
Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), the 
software update for the iPhone will be available as a 
public beta next month, then released widely later this 
year around the same time the iPhone 14 launches.

Apple iOS 16
iOS 16 introduces redesigned, customizable Lock 
Screens with widgets, the ability to edit and delete 
messages, improved Focus modes, an iCloud Shared 
Photos Library for families, major improvements for 
apps like Mail and Wallet, and much more.

New lock screen 
experience
One of the most-talked-about features of iOS 16 is the 
new lock screen customisation experience that lets you 
add widgets for quick glances to the lock screen. These 
include the weather, the battery status of your AirPods, 
upcoming calendar events and more.

Translate camera
Once iOS 16 becomes widely available, iOS users may 
find it easier to translate text in captured images via 
the iPhone’s camera app. All they need to do is open 
the Camera app, and then point it at the text to be 
translated. 
Hard-core Android users will instantly recognise this 
feature which is available via the Google Translate app, 
allowing you to point your camera at text to get a 
translation overlaid into the live viewfinder.

Automatic 
Sharing in 
Photos
A highly requested feature in iOS 16 that users wanted 
for a very long time is shared photo libraries. At last, 
Apple has made it easy to set up a separate photo 
library that up to five people can use, thanks to the 
iCloud Shared Photo Library. For those who are not 
aware, Google has had shared libraries since 2017.

Live Captions
Another feature that made it to iOS 16 but is already 
available on Android is Live Captions. Apple said Live 
Captions can transcribe any audio content – FaceTime 
calls, video conferencing apps, or in-person 
conversations – in English across the iPhone, iPad and 
Mac.

Undo/schedule 
sending of 
emails
iOS 16 will allow people to schedule your email and 
undo sending. This is something Google first added in 
Inbox, an experimental alternative to Gmail. 
Unfortunately, Google killed the Inbox app Inbox in 
2019. Anyway, you will be able to use the same 
features with iOS 16’s in-built Mail app.

Apple Pay Later is a new way to pay for Apple Pay 
purchases in fee-free installments, while the Wallet app 
features new capabilities to track deliveries and 
purchases, verify using digital ID, and share key digital 
cards.

the Fitness app is now available to users that do not 
have an Apple Watch. The Home app has also been 
fully redesigned and re-engineered, while Safari now 
features passkeys and shared Tab Groups.
