I really like the new Lock screen customization feature and the search button on the home screen.
Which feature did you like the most?
iOS 16 appears to be a minor change in comparison with its predecessors. The lock screen is a good start, as are the notifications that appear at the bottom of the screen when using interactive features such as Apple Pay or Face ID.
However, nothing ground-breakingly 'new' appears to be introduced in this release; it merely offers an improvement on what has already been established by other mobile operating systems.
For me, it's the new search system on the home page. I’ve always used that feature, now it’s more comfortable 😎
I just update my 13pro max to iOS 16 but the lock screens don't display the time as shown in the preview (with the clock behind the subject in the image). Is that feature for iphone14 only?
@imadbadri It isn't. Try to check if "Depth effect" is enabled on the bottom right corner, or choose another photo where the subject doesn't cover as much space of the clock
@codedgar Hey! thanks for your help. I figured that if you're not using widgets the depth effect works fine but, once you add widgets the depth effect is disabled automatically and cannot be activated.
The screen lock widgets are awesome, I love knowing when my next alarm is going to go off, 'as a chronic alarm setter' haha
With iOS 15, Live Text was already excellent. By choosing the text that is present in the photo, such as a phone number or address, you may extract information from it.
Since the text in paused video frames is now fully interactive with Live Text in movies, you can do operations like copy and paste, lookup, and translation.
Additionally, Live Text with iOS 16 includes support for text in Ukrainian, Japanese, and Korean. Last but not least, data found in pictures and videos may be used by just tapping on it. Convert currencies, translate other languages, track shipments or flights, and more.
Instead of deleting a message, you can edit it as long as everyone is using iOS 16. Recipients can view a history of all the modifications you've made in order to avoid misuse.
