Apple’s iOS 16 for iPhones got its public release a few weeks ago, and most people are still getting familiar with the upgrade. The first thing most people will notice about this upgrade is its new lock screen, but that is not all it has to offer. In this article, we will run you through some of the coolest features iOS16 brings to eligible iPhone users.
Here are 5 of the coolest features on 1OS 16 that got people talking;
- Edit your lock screen: This is one of the features on the new iPhone update that you will see all over the internet. Apple now gives you the option to customize the appearance of your lock screen. There are a good number of options on how your lock screen will appear with this upgrade. To edit your lock screen, head over to your settings and select wallpaper. From the settings page, you can change your wallpaper and customize everything about its looks.
- Edit chats on iMessage: We all make silly mistakes while chatting with people on messaging applications, correcting such mistakes isn’t always easy. But with the latest iOS version, you can simply tap to hold a chat on iMessage and then edit any mistake. The recipient will get to see that you made some changes to the message you sent.
- Get access to the Fitness app on your iPhone: With the new iOS version, you do not need to spend more money on an Apple Watch, since it gives you access to the Fitness app. Now from your iPhone, you can monitor your calories, steps, and even basic workout modes are available. But the “basic workout modes” will be available by the end of the year once Fitness+ comes to eligible iPhone users.
- Edit your battery icon: As an iPhone user, you can now customize the appearance of your battery icon, just like your Android relatives. Head over to your settings, scroll down to battery and toggle on the battery percentage slider. Now you can see your battery percentage at a glance instead of opening your control panel.
- Copy pictures from the Photo app: This is a very fun feature that WhatsApp sticker lovers will want to start using as soon as possible. The new picture copy tool helps you take out the main focus of any picture. Once you copy it, you can then paste it onto your sticker-making application. To copy a picture, head over to your Photos app pick a picture, then press and hold. The system will cut out the main focus of the image, and you can now drag and drop it wherever you like.
These are just a few features on iOS 16 that we had fun using. There are so many other features that the update brings, so get experimental and have fun playing with some of these features. Fixes to bugs on iOS 16 are constantly rolling out, making the update more stable, so you don’t need to be sceptical about upgrading your iPhone.
