Thanks to this new OS the lock screen will be completely customizable, it will be possible to change the aesthetics in real time, simply by clicking on “edit” to change the font and writing color. The lock screen interface will also get closer to the Apple Watch, with simplified access to several tools on the phone. Notifications have been redesigned and now scroll from the bottom of the screen, providing a more clear view of the lock screen. The new iOS16 will also feature a new Live API that will allow you to display various personalized information such as sports scores, workout stats, carpooling information or an order placed with a meal delivery service such as Uber.
Despite its great age, the Messages app also continues to get more polished with this new version of iOS16. Apple is offering a long-awaited feature: the ability to edit a message after sending it, or even delete it. It will also be possible to select unread messages and mark them to come back and read them later, so you won’t miss important messages anymore. iOS 16 will also introduce family sharing for photos in a dedicated iCloud Share Photo Family library.
