Although the arrival of iOS 16, which you remember, was introduced a few weeks ago at WWDC 2022, there are still a few months left, Apple is already releasing previous versions of the operating system to developersso that they can have their applications tailored to be ready to run. This is common practice and prevents months from officially running until applications start taking advantage of new features.

However, these exclusive versions for developers have the second most interesting use, and that is They provide us with the latest information about these news that although they are not listed in the official announcements, they are included in the operating system. This is something quite common in Android and we regularly see it in Apple operating systems as well. And iOS 16 is no exception in this regard.

You can find the latest news in this regard in The Verge, and I have no doubt that it will be a great pleasure for many iPhone users. And that’s it iOS 16 allows you to bypass CAPTCHA in some applications and websites. To do this, it uses a new feature called Auto-Authentication, which avoids the painless but cumbersome process of picking up traffic light photos or turning the gazelle until it’s upside down in applications and websites that’s compatible with it. down.

In order to build on and extend this iOS 16 technology, Apple has worked with Fastly and Cloudflare, two of the major content distribution networks (CDNs), which are responsible for ensuring that many online services can deliver content instantly and without incident. CAPTCHAs are an important part of these services’ strategy to prevent malicious automated traffic, so your involvement in this development is key.

Automatic verification will be available in both iOS 16 and macOS Ventura, and this system will provide websites and web services they will be able to protect themselves from malicious automatic access without the user having to prove that he is really a person, which translates into an advantage for both parties, because it automates this verification, is immediate and, in addition, requires less resources from both parties.

It has long been known that the technology sector is looking for an alternative to CAPTCHA, and in fact some companies like Fastly have been working on this for some time. A) Yes, that Apple is now integrating it into iOS 16 is a very important step in this regardand something that certainly won’t be long in coming on Android and other operating systems.
