At the end of the event iPhone 14, Apple shared the last missing details about iOS 16 . Now we know that the company plans to release the final version of iOS 16 on September 12th. iOS 16 is the new version of iOS, the company's operating system for the iPhone. It's a free download and works with the iPhone 8 or later, the second and third generation iPhone SE.
iOS 16 includes a revamped lock screen with more customization features and widgets visible next to the current time. In addition to the new lock screen features, there are some welcome changes overall. For example, users will be able to edit messages sent via iMessage or even unsubscribe from them. O shareplay, the feature that lets you watch a movie in sync with a friend, now works with an iMessage conversation, not just the FaceTime.
Another big change in iOS 16 is a new way to share photos with your family and close ones thanks to Shared Libraries. In addition to your personal photo library, you can add photos to a shared library and view photos added by other members. It's a good way to avoid sending photos to each other via AirDrop ou iMessage.
Developers also get a lot of new APIs that they can leverage for their applications. Therefore, some improvements with third-party applications are also expected. As always, there are lots of little refinements too, like a new way to dictate and type text at the same time, a redesign for the Home app, a few changes here and there, and yes, the ability to display the battery percentage in the status bar. for all iPhone models. And I'm sure a lot of people will upgrade to iOS 16 just for that reason.
