    Apple announces iOS 16 release date and it’s nearly here

    The highlights of iOS 16 are new customization features and more convenient ways to communicate with others. The Lock Screen can now be personalized with widgets that quickly let you see information like the date, time, weather, and alarm; images, and customized font styles. There is also a super helpful Live Activities feature that will let you keep track of activities like food orders in real-time from Lock Screen.

    You will also be able to set up a shared library to make it easier for multiple people to share images from the camera automatically but the iCloud Shared Photo Library feature has been delayed for now.

    Another useful iOS 16 feature is the ability to edit a sent message so that you won’t have to add countless asterisks or explain what you actually meant and it will also be possible to unsend a recent message. You will also be able to mark a message as unread if you plan to get back to it later.
    You will also be able to collaborate with people on stuff like notes and presentations through messages and Apple also says it has improved mail search.
    iOS 16 will also make it easier to copy video text and lift a subject from an image. It will also be a breeze to switch between voice and touch to enter text. The Health app now has a new Medications feature to help you manage medications.
    There is also a Safety Check feature to help people in toxic relationships revoke the access they had granted to abusive partners.
    The change that caused the most stir online is the return of battery percentage to the status bar.
    Only the iPhone 8 and newer models are eligible for the iOS 16 update. You will be informed once it becomes available.

    Apple Maps have also received small update at WWDC 2022. Apple announced that its mapping service will soon support multi-stop trips and users will be able to plan their route on the Mac version of the app and send it to their iPhone.

    Apple revealed at WWDC that multi stop routing lets you plan up to 15 stops in advance. There is also Siri integration that makes it easy to add stops to the route when you’re already on the road.

    There are new public transit features as well in iOS 16. Now more than the fare, users will be able to add transit cards to the Apple Wallet. Users can also reload the transit card balance without leaving the Maps app.

    The redesigned maps app debuted first in 11 countries first in 2021. Now another 11 countries are being added which include France, Switzerland, New Zealand, but there is no India in the updated list.

    The redesigned 3D City feature offers more detailed roads, landmarks and other locations. Apple is adding Las Vegas, but is also adding Miami, Chicago and Sydney.

    Apple is offering an application programming interface which will allow third party apps to integrate its maps. Apple showed off how Zillow had integrated the new immersive view while browsing homes.

    Apart from this, Apple announced a major update for CarPlay which now supports multiple screen sizes and multiple screens going beyond the infotainment system adding support for the functions of the instrument cluster. Apple announced that cars by big automakers like Renault, Ford, Mercedes, Volvo and Honda will be launching vehicles based on this system later next year.
