Apple launched WWDC with a new version of the operating system for iPhone – iOS 16. The biggest news is an all-new reading screen where users can change the clock font, add widgets, and customize them in a variety of ways. Apple has also improved how notifications work on the lock screen with features such as live activities that will make it easier to follow, for example, a football match. It should also be possible to have different lock screens for different focus positions.
Other news includes the ability to edit and undo messages in iMessage, and it should also be possible to edit a conversation as unread. finally! Apple is also expanding the Live Text functionality with Quick Actions that can help users, for example, convert currencies directly, and it is now also assumed that it will be possible to select objects in photos and drag to other applications. The Maps navigation feature will now also receive support for multiple stations. The Photos app now supports shared libraries, where families or friends can add photos to a shared library. The smart feature is that it should be possible to share photos to different libraries directly from the camera, when someone is editing photos in the shared libraries this should sync to everyone in the library.
The Home app has also received a completely new design with new categories and other visual improvements that will make it easier to control different devices. The updated app comes with iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.
As usual, the new version of iOS will come in a sharp release sometime this fall in connection with the arrival of new iPhones.
