This was highly anticipated because it disrupts the routine that iOS users have been struggling with for many years and gives us the ability to implement numerous features that will allow us to create a truly unique lock screen.

The list of options and elements available for customizing the iPhone lock screen thanks to iOS 16 is quite extensive, but the most interesting features include those that allow us to change its color, as well as fonts and filters. The interface we will have to use to make these changes is as simple and intuitive as expected.

You can see some examples of customizing the lock screen in the attached image, and the truth is that we can achieve results they are quite attractive. I look forward to trying out this new feature. To make your new lock screen glow in all its glory, Apple has also improved the notification management they no longer stack vertically and are grouped in an overlay less invasive spread out that we can turn around with a simple gesture.

Interesting, isn’t it? And that’s not all, with iOS 16 Apple has also improved the notifications and information we receive from those events or tasks that are performed live. So, for example, if we play music, information about the player will now appear at the bottom of the minimized, and live eventssuch as sports competitions or the distance to which our Uber is, will also appear at the bottom of the lock screen and will gather all the important information so that we do not miss anything.

He also received a concentration regimen small improvements at the customization level. It now expands to the lock screen and you can filter tab groups in Safari, conversations in News and events in our calendar.

Now let’s jump to the applications that have received interesting improvements with iOS 16 and start with the news.

Not enough for you to be able to edit messages? Don’t worry, Apple has also thought of those who get carried away by the impulse and who soon regret sending certain messages. Thanks option “return” we will be able to delete those messages, and yes, in both chats. Another important news that has come to News is SharePlay, which allows us to share and enjoy our favorite multimedia content with our friends.

Apple Maps is one of the applications that has undergone the most changes not only at the functional level, but also in terms of design. The Cupertian giant confirmed this important visual facelift and also named interesting news that will improve the user experience and which we are going to check next time.

The dark mode is undoubtedly one of the most interesting changes, but the routes with several stops are not left behind, because they allow us to set multiple breakpoints on a certain route and we can edit them on the fly. We have the last one transitwhich tells us the price of the route we are going to take, if we find a toll and payment approach. We can also assign a payment method, and if we don’t have the funds, we can add them without leaving the app.

With iOS 16, Apple also introduced interesting improvements in Dictation. This application allows us leave the keyboard open so you can intervene at any time, if we prefer to continue writing in the traditional way and cancel the transcript. Thanks to the acceleration provided by Apple’s advanced NPC SoC Series A, the user experience when switching from one input mode to another is completely smooth and punctuation is added automatically.

In the «Living Text» we find changes aimed at to make the system smarter. Thanks to these changes, it now works directly on videos and is able to perform direct translations in applications. We can also use it to copy the photo elements we have and paste them directly into other applications. For example, we can cut out our pet from the photo and insert it directly into the News.

Another of the most exciting innovations that Apple has confirmed with iOS 16 is in the Portfolio, and that’s a feature Apple PayLater. As the name suggests, this is an option that allows us to use the Cupertino giant’s well-known payment platform to buy something and pay for it “later”, specifically in a maximum of four equal installments, even if they must be paid for a maximum period of 6 weeks. In exchange for this short period, we will not have to pay interest and we will be able to track our purchases using Apple Pay Order Tracking.

Now it’s our turn to talk about improvements in Photos. With iOS 16, Apple makes sharing our favorite photos much easier, thanks to the iCloud Shared Photo Library, which allows us to share entire photo libraries with our family. Our loved ones will also be able to contribute to this library by uploading their own photos and making edits.

We will be able to send photos automatically via the camera’s automatic sharing option and also share them automatically if we have activated the corresponding option. And speaking of family, with iOS 16 we will also have new options for managing and controlling our children’s accounts, introducing parental controls, and restricting and approving applications for additional use.

With regard to the smart home, greater integration and deep redesign of the application stands out, as we can see in the attached picture. We will return to the Apple Car and also find a large facelift accompanied by new features, which are certainly quite interesting.

With its help, we can control many elements of the vehicle, including the sound system and radio to the air conditioning, and transmit information in real time between the iPhone and our vehicle. interface retains the unmistakable minimalist touch of iOSand the truth is, it looks really good, as we can see in the attached pictures.
