Will iOS 16 be upgraded? Read these four major upgrades before deciding

At this WWDC22, many iPhone users are most interested in the new iOS 16. This major version update brings users more functional iterations, which makes people very "envious". Let's take a look at several major upgrade points. It's not too late to upgrade if you think it's useful.

1. Customize the lock screen to create more fun

First, let's take a look at the personalized lock screen feature, which Apple calls "the biggest change ever." Perhaps inspired by wearable devices such as the Apple Watch, iOS 16 supports placing applets and displaying content such as schedule, weather, battery level, alarm, time zone, etc. on the lock screen.

Users can not only customize the module, but also fine-tune the font style, color, and appearance in detail to set the one that suits you best. Users can also set multiple lock screen contents at the same time, and they can easily switch by swiping left or right, setting different styles according to different moods.

You may have been "bombarded" with dense notification messages, and the text content occupies the entire screen, which is very bad. To this end, iOS 16 will slide up from the bottom of the screen to ensure that users can clearly view their personalized lock screen, and the same applies to small programs such as playing music.

2. The Message App adds practical operations such as withdraw and mark

If you often use the Messages app, this update will definitely satisfy you: iOS 16's Messages app has added three new features: edit, recall, and mark as unread, so you no longer have to worry about sending the wrong message. (This feature looks familiar)

At the same time, the Messages App has further added support for simultaneous broadcast sharing. Users can chat in the Messages App while enjoying and controlling the synchronized playback of movies, songs and other content. Using the enhanced live text function, users can interact and share the text of each frame of the video.

3. Added iCloud shared gallery to record the beautiful moments spent with family

iOS 16 adds a new way for users to record beautiful moments: by setting up an iCloud photo library, users can collaborate, store and view with up to 6 other users. At the same time, users can automatically share photos through the newly added toggle button when taking photos, so that wonderful photos will not be forgotten without synchronization.

According to Apple's official introduction, users will also receive smart suggestions when taking photos, and share photos of shared users in the shared library to the shared library. All shared users have the right to add, delete, edit and collect photos and videos shared in the shared library, which will be displayed in the memories and selected photos of each shared user.

4. New generation of CarPlay in-car functions

The CarPlay function of iOS 16 has also been updated. Apple has carried out in-depth cooperation with major car manufacturers around the world to customize different internal screen display functions and styles. Users can control the air conditioning and other functions in the car without exiting CarPlay. Users can also see driving information such as vehicle speed, fuel level, RPM, etc. in real time.

Users can also personalize their driving experience and choose different dashboard display interfaces; in addition, with the new support for widgets, users will be able to view quick-view information from the Weather App and Music App directly on the vehicle's dashboard.

5. Other rich functions are available

Of course, iOS 16 definitely has more than just the above features. There are also some more detailed features as follows:

• Spotlight Search Updates: For easier navigation, users can search for images in the photo library, across the system, and on the web, and can search for text within images with Live Text.
• The Health APP adds a new medication column: users can easily record their medication list, and the system will also identify and remind them of possible conflicting medications;
• Safari adds shared tab groups: users can share multiple websites with others, and "Passkey" uses Touch ID or Face ID for biometric authentication to ensure extremely high security;
• Privacy tool safety check function: can help users revoke all permissions open to others in an emergency.

iOS 16 brings many more features than these. Interested users can try the developer preview that has been released. The public beta will be pushed to iPhone 8 and later models in July. Do you think these features can attract you to upgrade the system?
