The new iOS 16 received an updated lock screen, enhanced security checks, as well as functionality for sharing content. It was introduced during the annual WWDC Developer Conference on June 6, 2022.
In our material, we will talk about interesting innovations in iOS 16 and describe the key changes in macOS Ventura and iPadOS 16, which were also presented as part of WWDC 2022.
IOS 16 Tu ọjọ
The development of a new version of operating systems for the iPhone at Apple is ongoing. This does not interfere even with the coronavirus pandemic or economic crises.
For the first time, iOS 16 was shown on June 6 at WWDC 2022. From that day, its closed testing for developers began. In July, testing will begin for everyone, and in the fall, the OS update will come to all users of current iPhone models.
What devices will iOS 16 run on?
In 2021, Apple surprised everyone with its decision to leave support for the frankly outdated iPhone SE and 6S in iOS 15. The latest device is already in its seventh year.
It is expected that in the new version of the operating system, Apple will still cut off the connection with cult smartphones at the time. To take full advantage of iOS 16, you will need to have at least an iPhone 8, released in 2017.

Kini tuntun ni iOS 16
On June 6, at the WWDC developer conference, Apple introduced the new iOS 16. Craig Federighi, vice president of the company, spoke about the key changes to the system.
Titiipa iboju
Previously, the creators of Apple minimized the possibility of changing the appearance of the lock screen. It was believed that American designers created the perfect interface that suited any user. In 2022, the situation has changed.
In iOS 16, users were allowed to fully customize the iPhone lock screen. For example, change clock fonts, colors or add new widgets. At the same time, the developers have already prepared templates, similar to those used in a popular application recognized as extremist in the Federation.
It is allowed to use multiple lock screens and switch them as needed. They have a separate Focus for selecting specific notifications. For example, during work, a to-do list and daily schedule, and for the gym, a clock and a step counter.
Animated lock screen widgets look especially impressive. Software developers will be able to use them to run applications in real time. Such widgets are called Live Activities. They will display the score of a sports competition or visually show how far a taxi is from you.
The rest of the notifications on the lock screen, Apple designers have hidden in a separate small scrollable list – now they will not overlap the photo set on the lock screen.

In the age of third-party messaging apps like Telegram, Apple’s own Messages app looked outdated. In iOS 16, they began to gradually correct the situation.
So, users were allowed to edit and completely delete sent messages (both for themselves and for the interlocutor). Open messages in dialogs were allowed to be marked as unread so as not to forget about them in the future.
Not to say that the changes are global, but the built-in Apple messenger has clearly become more convenient.

Apple continues to improve the voice recognition system using neural networks and computer algorithms. When typing, the function began to work much faster, at least in English.
The system recognizes intonation and automatically places punctuation marks in long sentences. For privacy purposes, you can stop the voice typing of the sentence and type the desired words already on the keyboard – the typing methods work simultaneously.
Ọrọ ori ayelujara
This is another example of using a neural network in everyday tasks. Now you can copy text directly not only from photos, but also from videos. iPhones will also be able to translate large amounts of text or convert currency on the go in the Camera app.
Updated “What’s in the picture?”
An interesting opportunity was obtained by the function of recognizing objects in the picture. Now you can select a separate part from the image and send it, for example, in messages.
Wallet and Apple Pay
Despite the blocking of Apple Pay in Our Country, we will briefly describe the changes in this tool in iOS 16. Now even more plastic cards can be added to the iPhone wallet – the list has expanded due to the connection of new hotels.
Merchants were allowed to accept payment via NFC directly on their iPhone – no need to spend money on expensive equipment. Apple Pay Later also appeared – an interest-free installment plan for four payments in 6 months. At the same time, you do not need to visit the bank office, since you can receive and pay a loan directly through your iPhone. While this feature is only available in the US, Apple did not specify if it would later be available in other countries.
Maps
Apple’s navigation app continues to add digitized copies of new cities and countries with pre-specified places of interest. So, Israel, the Palestinian Authority and Saudi Arabia will appear in iOS 16.
The new route planning feature, which includes up to 15 stops, will also be useful – it works with both macOS and mobile devices. Siri voice assistant can add new items to the list.
Apple News
Apparently, Apple decided to invent their own news aggregator – for now it will only work with sports updates. The user will be able to select his favorite team or sport, and the system will notify him of all the latest relevant events. For example, inform about the results of matches.
Wiwọle idile
The American company decided to expand the parental control settings of the “Family Sharing” function. In iOS 16, it will be possible to limit individual users “adult” content and the total time access to games or movies.
By the way, family accounts in Apple were allowed to create special albums in iCloud. Only relatives will have access to them, and the neural network will itself determine family photos and offer to upload them to the album.
Abo Ṣayẹwo
This feature will allow you to restrict other users access to your personal information with one click of a button. In particular, Apple recommends using it to users who have experienced domestic violence. As planned by the developers, after disabling access, it will be more difficult for the aggressor to track down his victim.

Apple has developed a standard for connecting smart devices for the home and called it Matter. The Apple system will be supported by many electrical and electronics manufacturers – Amazon, Philips, Legrand and others. The Apple application itself for connecting “home” devices has also changed a bit.
C
During the presentation, Apple employees said that they are developing a completely new system of interaction between the driver and the car. It was not shown in its entirety, limited to only some features.
Apparently, the new version of CarPlay will implement full integration of iOS and car software. The CarPlay interface will be able to show all the parameters of the car – from the temperature overboard to the pressure in the tires. In this case, all system interfaces will be organically integrated into the car display. Of course, the driver will be able to customize the appearance of CarPlay. It is reported that next-generation CarPlay support will be implemented in Ford, Audi, Nissan, Honda, Mercedes and others. The complete system will be shown at the end of 2023.
Audio Aye
Apple has not forgotten about its high-quality sound system. In iOS 16, the function of digitizing the user’s head through the front camera will appear – this is done to fine-tune Spatial Audio.

The Spotlight menu has been added to the bottom of the iPhone screen. By clicking on the search button, you can instantly search for information on your smartphone or on the Internet.
Kini tuntun ni macOS Ventura
During the WWDC 2022 conference, they also talked about other Apple devices. The American company has finally presented a new 5nm M2 processor. Along with this, the developers talked about the main new features of MacOS, which was named Ventura in honor of the county in California.
Internship Manager
This is an advanced window distribution system for open programs that will clean up the macOS screen. The system divides open programs into thematic categories, which are placed on the left side of the screen. If necessary, the user can add his own programs to the list of programs. A feature similar to Stage Manager works with notification sorting in iOS.
àwárí
The file search system inside macOS received an update. Now, through the search bar, you can find the text placed on the photos. The system also quickly provides information on search queries on the Internet.
imeeli
The Apple mail client now has the ability to cancel sending emails. The app’s search bar will now display the latest documents and addresses you’ve sent e-mail to.
safari
The main innovation in the native macOS browser was the use of PassKeys instead of the usual passwords. In fact, this is the use of face ID or touch ID to access sites. Apple says that unlike passwords, biometric data cannot be stolen, so this version of personal data protection is more reliable.
iPhone as a camera
The new version of macOS has radically solved the problem of not the most advanced built-in macBook camera. Now you can connect your iPhone to the laptop cover through a special adapter and use its main camera. At the same time, the iPhone’s ultra-wide camera in a separate screen can shoot the caller’s keyboard and his hands.
What’s new in iPadOS 16
Apple tablets sit between full-fledged laptops and compact iPhones. During WWDC, they talked about the new features of iPadOS 16.
Collaboration work
iPadOS 16 introduced a feature called Collaboration. It allows you to share a link to a file that can be edited by multiple users at the same time. They can also share individual applications with colleagues. For example, open windows in the browser. This will come in handy for creative teams working remotely using the Apple ecosystem.
Freeform
This is Apple’s application for collective brainstorming. Group members will be able to freely write down thoughts in one endless document. The rest are allowed to leave comments, links and pictures in the file. The app will launch for all Apple devices by the end of 2022.

Apps for iPad were created based on software for iOS or macOS. Due to different processors, some features of one system were not available on the other. After the transition of all devices to Apple’s own cores, these shortcomings will be eliminated.
So, iPad users, for example, will be able to change file extensions, view folder sizes, undo recent actions, use the “find and replace” function, and so on.
In the near future, the functionality of Apple’s mobile and desktop operating systems should be equal.
Ipo itọkasi
iPad Pro with iPadOS 16 can be used as a secondary screen when working with macOS. On the second display, you can display interface elements of different applications.
