CALIFORNIA, CUPERTINO
Apple today previewed iOS 16, which includes the largest update to the Lock Screen in history, as well as new sharing, communication, and intelligence features that will change the way users interact with their iPhone.
iOS 16 introduces iCloud Shared Photo Library, which allows users to easily share a collection of photos with family, updates to Messages and Mail that make it easier to stay in touch, and powerful improvements to Live Text and Visual Look Up.
Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, said, "iOS 16 is a substantial release with enhancements that will revolutionize the way you enjoy iPhone."
"With exciting new features that make it more personal and helpful, we've reimagined how the Lock Screen looks and works," says Apple.
"We've also introduced iCloud Shared Photo Library for families, streamlined communication with new capabilities in Messages and Mail, and harnessed enhanced intelligence with updates to Live Text and Visual Look Up."
Creating a Personalized Lock Screen
With iOS 16, the Lock Screen becomes more personal, beautiful, and useful.
The subjects of photos are artfully set in front of the time on the Lock Screen with a new multilayered effect, creating a sense of depth.
Users can also customize the appearance of the date and time by using expressive type styles and color schemes.
The Lock Screen includes widgets inspired by Apple Watch complications, allowing you to quickly access information such as upcoming calendar events, the weather, battery levels, alarms, time zones, Activity ring progress, and more.
A new Lock Screen gallery offers a variety of options for inspiration, including Apple collections such as Pride and Unity, which celebrate special cultural moments; a Weather wallpaper, which shows live weather conditions as they change throughout the day; and an Astronomy wallpaper, which shows views of the Earth, moon, and solar system.
Users can also use their favorite emoji or color combinations to create Lock Screens.
Users can switch between their favorite Lock Screens with a simple swipe.
Live Activities is a new feature that allows users to stay up to date on real-time events such as a sports game, workout, ride-share, or food delivery order right from the Lock Screen.
Notifications have been redesigned to roll up from the bottom, allowing users to see their personalized Lock Screen clearly.
Focus on Finding Balance:
Focus is more powerful, easier to configure, and now connects to the Lock Screen, allowing users to associate a Lock Screen wallpaper and widgets with a specific Focus.
Users can activate a Focus by simply swiping to the corresponding Lock Screen.
Apps such as Calendar, Mail, Messages, and Safari can use Focus filters to display only content that is relevant to a user's Focus, assisting them in finding a better balance.
iCloud Shared Photo Library lets you store family photos in one place:
iCloud Shared Photo Library provides a new way for families to seamlessly share photos by creating a separate iCloud library that up to six users can collaborate on, contribute to, and enjoy.
Users can share existing photos from their personal libraries, as well as share based on a start date or people in the photos.
A new toggle in the Camera app allows users to automatically send photos to the Shared Library.
Additionally, users will receive intelligent suggestions to share a photo that includes Shared Photo Library participants.
Every user in the Shared Photo Library can add, delete, edit, or favorite the shared photos or videos, which appear in each user's Memories and Featured Photos, allowing everyone to relive more complete family moments.
Messages have been updated.:
Users can recover recently deleted messages, edit or recall recently sent messages, and mark conversations as unread so they can return to them later.

Furthermore, SharePlay is coming to Messages, allowing you to enjoy synced content like movies or songs as well as shared playback controls while chatting in Messages.
New Mail Tools:
Users can now schedule emails ahead of time and even cancel delivery of a message before it reaches a recipient's inbox.
Mail detects when a user forgets to include a critical component of their message, such as an attachment.
Remind Later allows users to resurface a message at any time and date, and Follow Up suggestions automatically remind users to follow up on an email if they have not received a response.
Mail also includes the most significant overhaul to search, which now employs cutting-edge techniques to deliver more relevant, accurate, and complete results.
When users start searching for emails, they see recent emails, contacts, documents, and links.
Enhancements to Live Text and Visual Look Up
Live Text recognizes text in images using on-device intelligence across iOS, and it is now expanding to include video.
Users can pause the video at any point and interact with the text.
Users can also quickly convert currency, translate text, and do other things with Live Text.
Visual Look Up expands on photos with a new feature that allows users to tap and hold on the subject of an image to lift it from the background and place it in apps like Messages.
Visual Look Up now recognizes birds, insects, and statues.
Apple Pay Later, Order Tracking, and Other Features Add to Wallet:
Apple Pay Later offers users in the United States a simple and secure way to divide the cost of an Apple Pay purchase into four equal payments spread over six weeks, with no interest or fees.
3 Apple Pay Later, which is built into Apple Wallet and designed with users' financial health in mind, makes it simple to view, track, and repay Apple Pay Later payments within Wallet.
Users can apply for Apple Pay Later when using Apple Pay or in their Wallet. Apple Pay Later is available wherever Apple Pay is accepted online or in-app, as long as the Mastercard network is used. 4 Furthermore, Apple Pay Order Tracking allows users to receive detailed receipts and order tracking information in Wallet for Apple Pay purchases made with participating merchants.
Keys and IDs in Wallet Support:
Keys and IDs in Wallet now have more support.
Users can use their ID in Wallet to verify their identity and age.
Only the information required for the transaction will be provided to the app to ensure a private and secure experience, and the user can review and consent to share it using Face ID or Touch ID.
Furthermore, users can securely share their home, hotel, office, and car keys in Wallet via messaging apps such as Messages, Mail, and others.
Next-Generation CarPlay:
CarPlay has fundamentally altered how people interact with their vehicles, and the next generation of CarPlay goes even further by deeply integrating with the hardware of a vehicle.
CarPlay will be able to provide content for multiple screens within the vehicle, resulting in a unified and consistent experience.
Deeper integration with the vehicle will allow users to control the radio or change the climate directly through CarPlay, and CarPlay will seamlessly render the speed, fuel level, temperature, and other information on the instrument cluster using vehicle data.
Users will be able to personalize their driving experience by selecting different gauge cluster designs, and with the addition of widget support, users will be able to have at-a-glance information from Weather and Music right on their car's dashboard.
More information about the next generation of CarPlay will be released in the future, and vehicle announcements will begin late next year.
Added Features:
Safari now includes shared Tab Groups for sharing a collection of websites with friends and family, making it easier to add tabs and see what others are looking at.
Passkeys, unique digital keys that are easy to use, more secure, never stored on a web server, and stay on device so hackers can't steal them in a data breach or trick users into sharing them, make browsing in Safari even safer.
Passkeys are designed to replace passwords and use Touch ID or Face ID for biometric verification, as well as iCloud Keychain to sync with end-to-end encryption across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV.
They will also work across apps and the web, and users will be able to use their iPhone to sign in to websites or apps on non-Apple devices.
Apple Maps now supports multistop routing, which allows users to plan up to 15 stops ahead of time and automatically sync routes from Mac to iPhone when they're ready to go.
Maps is also providing transit updates to users, allowing them to see how much their journey will cost, add transit cards to Wallet, see low balances, and replenish transit cards without leaving Maps.
Family Sharing makes it easier to set up an account for a child with the appropriate parental controls in place right away.
It includes suggestions for age-appropriate restrictions for apps, movies, books, music, and other media, as well as a simplified process for setting up a new device that automatically applies existing parental controls.
When a child requests more screen time, guardians can approve or decline the request directly in Messages.
Dictation provides a new on-device experience that allows users to switch between voice and touch with ease.
Users can use the keyboard to type, tap in the text field, move the cursor, and insert QuickType suggestions without pausing Dictation.
Dictation also includes automatic punctuation and emoji dictation.
Siri now has the ability to run shortcuts as soon as an app is downloaded, without requiring any prior configuration.
Users can add emoji to messages, send messages automatically (skipping the confirmation step), and hang up phone and FaceTime calls completely hands-free by saying "Hey Siri, hang up."
The Home app makes it easier for users to navigate, organize, and view their accessories, while improvements to the underlying architecture provide users with more efficient and dependable control of their smart home.
When the Matter smart home connectivity standard becomes available later this fall, a software update to iOS 16 will add support for it, allowing a wide range of accessories to work seamlessly across platforms and helping to realize the true vision of a smart home.
The Fitness:
Even if they don't own an Apple Watch, all iPhone users can use the Fitness app to track and meet fitness goals.
iPhone users can use the Fitness app to set a daily Move goal and see how their active calories help close the Move ring.
Steps, distance, flights climbed, and workouts from third-party apps can be tracked by iPhone motion sensors and converted into an estimate of active calories to contribute to users' daily Move goal.
Users can also motivate themselves by sharing their Move ring with others.
The Health app now includes Medications, which allows users to easily create and manage a medication list, set up schedules and reminders, and track their medications, vitamins, or supplements.
In the United States, users can simply point their iPhone camera at a label to add a medication, read about the medications they're taking, and receive an alert if their medications have potential critical interactions.
5 Furthermore, users can easily share their Health data with loved ones and create a PDF of available health records from connected health institutions right from the Health app.
Apple News now includes a new My Sports section where users can easily follow their favorite teams and leagues, receive stories from hundreds of top publishers, access scores, schedules, and standings for the top professional and college leagues, and watch highlights directly in the News app.
Game Center has a redesigned dashboard that displays friends' game activity and achievements in one place, making it simple for players to jump in and play with or compete against their friends.
Personalized Spatial Audio provides a more accurate and immersive listening experience.
Listeners can use the TrueDepth camera on their iPhone to create a personal profile for Spatial Audio, which delivers a tailored listening experience.
Safety Check, a new privacy tool, can help users whose personal safety is threatened by domestic or intimate partner violence by quickly removing all access they've granted to others.
It includes an emergency reset feature that allows users to easily sign out of iCloud on all of their other devices, reset privacy permissions, and limit messaging to the device in their hand.
It also assists users in understanding and managing who and what apps they have granted access to.
Accessibility updates include Door Detection, which allows users who are blind or have low vision to use their iPhone to navigate the last few feet to their destination, and Apple Watch Mirroring, which allows users with physical and motor disabilities to fully control Apple Watch from their iPhone using assistive features such as Voice Control and Switch Control.

Furthermore, Live Captions allow the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community to follow along while on a phone or FaceTime call, using a videoconference or social media app, streaming media content, or conversing with someone next to them.
