Residents of Maryland and Arizona will be pleased as punch to learn Apple Wallet now supports their state driving licenses. The new Home app is available across the iPhone, iPad, and Mac. iOS 16 also brings underlying improvements to the Home app to make it more reliable, and supports the Matter standard. It’s coming to iPhone, iPad and Mac, but the biggest visual changes can be found on iPhone. A discover tab helps you find compatible gadgets, and the entire back-end has been rewritten to make it more reliable. Camera feeds get their own, full-width tiles with previews, and automations have been made simpler. More devices means more icons, video feeds and settings to keep track of, so the Home app has been redesigned to put the entire home on a single, scrollable screen.Ĭategories now sit at the top of the screen, giving one-tap access to security devices, heating/cooling, and lights. Home app gets an overhaulĪpple is one of several big-name tech brands getting behind the Matter IoT standard, which is rapidly expanding support into all kinds of smart home kit.
#THINGS FOR IPHONE MANUAL#
Anyone who’s gone through the painful manual process of deleting WhatsApp duplicates, for example, will welcome this new trick with open arms, freeing up internal and iCloud storage without the need for additional apps or hours of manual sorting. You can then merge duplicate photos together, saving precious storage space in an instant.
Lastly, in a very welcome move, the Photos app now has an incredibly useful Duplicates function which shows you all the duplicate photos on your phone at the press of a button. You can set it to be on or off by default, or have it automatically switch on when you’re in the same area as your family members. Once set up, you can manually select photos from your camera roll, or use smart suggestions that recognise faces to recommend pics that others might want to have a look at.Īll members of a shared photo library have equal permissions, so edits, favourites and deletes get synced across all devices.Īpple has also added a switch directly into the camera app, for sharing new photos directly to a shared library. Instead of sharing individual photos or albums, you can now have a single iCloud Shared Photo Library, with you and up to give other iCloud accounts contributing snaps. Sharing photos with family members is getting a whole lot simpler in iOS 16. If you set screen time limits, but your kids just need ten more minutes (honest!), you’ll be able to extend the timer through the Messages app.įinally, a Family Checklist can remind you to review what parental controls are active, and help you deactivate or raise limits as your children get older.
#THINGS FOR IPHONE TV#
Assigning user profiles for each child and turning on age-appropriate restrictions can now be done across devices, and from one place, with fine-grain control over the sort of ebooks, movies, TV shows and apps they’re allowed to access. Limiting what your kids can do on their iOS devices, and for how long, is getting a lot more straightforward in iOS 16. Previously this used the camera to identify objects now it’ll isolate subjects from their backgrounds, and let you drag them into other apps. Visual Lookup is also getting an upgrade. It makes for a neat demo, but we’re not sure how useful it’ll be for the iOS-using majority. The iPhone’s Neural Engine will also be called into action for text detection in videos, meaning you can pause a clip, highlight any text and paste it into another app. It’ll recognise punctuation and emojis now, and all the language processing is done on-device, so you don’t have to worry about your ramblings living on a server somewhere. Now the onscreen keyboard will stay visible while you’re speaking, so you can swap input types on the fly. Voice dictation apparently gets a big thumbs up from a sizeable number of iPhone owners already – and Apple’s planning to make it even better.
Messages now supports SharePlay, too, so you can start a session directly within the app and catch up with a video at the same time as your friends. Chats can now be marked as unread with a right swipe on the thread, for when you’ve not had the time to compose a reply and you need a reminder to get back to your contact later.
