hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and ios 16 has hundreds and hundreds of features and changes
and within those some are more obvious such as the lock screen with customizable widgets but
there's a lot of little small changes that make life more convenient so i thought we'd go over
the most helpful ios 16 features some of them you may already have heard of if you've been following
along with ios 16 and some of them hopefully you haven't and are new to you now the first one has
to do with settings and under wi-fi so if we tap on wi-fi and we have our wi-fi network here if we
tap on the i we can now see our password or copy and paste it to someone so maybe we have a friend
or family member over and we need to give them our wi-fi password but they don't have an iphone where
you can just bring it up close you can tap on your password it will verify via face id or touch id
then you can tell them your password or you can copy and paste it maybe to an sms or text message
and share it that way so it's made really much easier and more convenient in ios 16.
with previous versions of ios we gained live text live text is a super convenient and useful feature
within the camera or that it recognizes within photos but what you can do now instead of just
copy and paste text it can do much more so as long as your device supported it before you can use
these features so if we slide in maybe the chinese version of apple.com you'll see it recognizes it
as live text this little button here and when you see this you can tap on translate now you
can do this with anything whether that be maybe a pamphlet that's on the side of a building you're
trying to understand what it says maybe you're traveling you can now translate it in real time
and it also adds the addition of japanese korean and ukrainian text so they continue to update
this it is not available everywhere unfortunately but as if it was available before with live text
it will be available now with those additional regions also you can do more with this as well
so if we go to another website where we have maybe currency here so again it recognizes live text in
real time tap on it here and you'll see that we can now recognize that it's british pounds
tap on it and we can convert it instantly to us dollars to whatever your local currency is so
this works across many different things not just text now it recognizes things such as the weather
so maybe you're in a country you want to convert something to celsius again here's the weather it
recognizes live text and then we can convert it to celsius fahrenheit or even it recognizes it as an
angle or degree so if we want to convert this to celsius it tells us kelvin fahrenheit and celsius
so that's a really nice easy conversion that it will do and it gets better over time and live text
not only works with photos and your camera but also works within videos as well so maybe you're
watching a video and in the middle of that video you pause it you see something that you recognize
you'll see here the live text button it recognizes different elements within the text
in this case it's recognizing the temperature tap on the temperature and you can convert it
again to fahrenheit or convert the angle so live text works within video also not just photos and
with your camera again it's recognizing the word iphone there and you'll see all of the things it
sees within the frame so it's really great to have those new options built in making things more and
more convenient and you don't need an additional app to do it something else that will be more
and more helpful as time goes on has to do with passwords or pass keys apple introduced pass keys
and this is a new way to sign into websites using face id and helps protect against phishing and
website leaks many of us have experienced that and here's an example website so if we go to sign in
it will actually pop up a little dialogue here saying choose how you'd like to sign
in iphone ipad or android device you can use a pass key from a device with a camera
or a security key and then you can also share this so if we continue you can scan this with a qr code
reader and sign in with passkey it makes it super convenient you won't need to use passwords anymore
and will be widely supported as apple has partnered with the fido alliance to sort of have
this as a standard across google and microsoft as well and other larger password managing companies
so this is something you're going to see more and more that just makes signing in more convenient
and also much more secure so hopefully we have it sooner rather than later at the time of this
video it's very few and far between but this is a demo a demo and if you want to try it out i'll
link it in the description the next thing has to do with accessibility features if you have a phone
that has a lidar sensor this is really really convenient and helpful if you need accessibility
features so for those that are visually impaired if we go into the magnifier app so you can use
magnifier and i've put it here on the second page the magnifier app has a new feature in
it that allows you to detect doors so it's got a detection mode it activates the lidar on the back
and also recognizes objects and as you can see here it's recognizing doors telling me how close
or how far i am from them what they are whether there's text there and everything else so this
is really nice it gives audible indications as to what's going on and can read what's on the screen
so it has image descriptions you can see it can detect people which we had before but now
it can detect doors as well so that's something that's super helpful for those that need it and
it works really well i think it will get better over time but again if you need those features
they're super helpful for those that are visually impaired the next helpful feature is in mail
within mail they've added some features some of them you'll see all of the time some of them you
won't one of them is follow-up if you've sent a message and maybe no one's responded in a certain
amount of time apple will actually pop a little dialogue in the top reminding you to follow up
with them if maybe you need to do that if we go to send an email so we'll reply to this one we'll
just reply to this one and you'll see some of the light mode versus dark mode isn't showing properly
but if we press and hold on the send button we have some new options so we can send now send
tonight send tomorrow or send later based on our schedule so this is a really convenient helpful
feature that they've added in mail now within your main mailbox if you want to be reminded about
something later you can now do that swipe your mail to the right slightly and you have remind me
if you tap on remind me you can have it remind you in an hour tonight tomorrow or later similar
to sending later as well also you can undo send so maybe you just sent an email in your settings you
can change the duration of how long you have to wait but if you go into mail scroll to the bottom
you have an undo send delay so it will actually delay sending it for up to 30 seconds although you
could set it to 10 or 20 and then maybe you made a mistake you want to undo send you can do that
however you can't do this for up to 15 minutes or 30 minutes later currently so those are all
new features built into mail that i think make it even more useful and helpful compared to other
mail apps out there but it also keeps everything private and secure now to go along with privacy
and security if we go into settings go down to the privacy and security section scroll down to the
bottom we have some new options safety check is the first helpful update it says if circumstances
or trust levels change safety check allows you to disconnect from people apps and devices
you no longer want to be connected to you can do an emergency reset or manage sharing and access
so you can customize which people and apps can access your information and review your security
account so that's something that's really great that they've added and then even more
so is lockdown mode lockdown mode under the same settings of privacy and security has the option
to completely lock down your phone if you think your phone's at risk of data breach so it says
lockdown mode is an extreme optional protection that should only be used if you believe you may
be personally targeted by a highly sophisticated cyber attack most people are never targeted by
attacks of this nature when iphone is in lockdown mode it will not function as it typically does
apps websites and features will be strictly limited for security and some experiences will
be completely unavailable so if you're a little bit concerned about this you can turn this on
and learn more about what it does but it's really nice that they've added this if you're very
concerned or might be targeted by a cyber attack photos gained some very helpful options in ios 16.
the first one is a shared photo library so if we go into settings go to our name at the top under
icloud tap on photos under photos we can actually share this with someone else under shared library
this allows us to share it with up to five people where we can share the library together
maybe with a family or a loved one or someone else maybe a good friend
and then you can selectively select which photos you want to share you can have them all share
or just based on which ones you're taking in your photo or your camera app so that's
something that's really convenient and even better in photos is they now have an option
for duplicates it will find duplicates and you can merge them on its own this is something that's
been really helpful on mac with different apps for a long time and has now been brought to ios
also you have hidden and recently deleted that now allows you to lock them so those are convenience
features that small touches that i think are really helpful so if you have a hidden folder
it's now locked by face id the same is true with recently deleted if you have some private images
you wanted to get rid of they'll go into recently deleted and then they'll delete after 30 days if
you don't manually delete them so that's really nice that they've added those helpful features
another really helpful feature is apple has finally given airpods their own menu if we go into
settings you'll see there's nothing there but if we connect airpods pro airpods max or any airpods
you'll see it immediately shows a new menu under that menu we have different options for noise
cancellation transparency different things such as the ear tip fit test on the pros personalized
spatial audio so it will depend on which air pods you have as to what options you have but they've
given it its own menu which makes things much more helpful as far as that goes before it was buried
in bluetooth settings or in accessibility now it's just its own menu and hopefully they'll give us an
update button as well as new updates are available one feature that can be really helpful but is
specific to iphone 13 for some reason is the ability to unlock your iphone in landscape mode
now you can't typically use your phone in landscape mode unless you're watching a video
or maybe looking at photos where you could before and had a whole landscape layout on iphone 8 plus
but you can unlock it only on the iphone 13 models though so if we rotate it to landscape
it will unlock you see the lock unlocked i'll do it one more time
you'll see it unlocks in landscape just like our ipad does that has face id the ipad's pro so i'm
not sure why it's not on older iphones maybe the face id hardware is slightly different or
the neural engine can't do it but either way it's on the iphone 13 models one of the most helpful
features for me that i've found that i've used an awful lot with ios 16 has to do with messages
so if we go into messages we now have the ability to edit a message after we've sent it
so we can edit it it will give us sort of a change log as to what we've edited but up to 15 minutes
later we can edit the message or we can undo send for up to two minutes so if we press and hold on
a message we've already sent we have the option to undo send however if it's an older message
we cannot undo send or edit it it just depends on how long it's been since you've sent it
so here is a message we'll type this hit send then if i press and hold i can edit that message
and say maybe i want to say this is a new message just for an example here now we've typed it and it
sends and then edits it it gives us a change log as to what we've changed before just so we have
some accountability and then we can see what it says now also the person on the other side
has this change log as well and if they don't have imessage it will actually or even ios 16
it will actually just send them two messages and say that it was edited so that's something that's
a little bit new that i think is really helpful and convenient of course also built into this
is voice dictation and you can now edit your voice dictation while you're speaking so voice dictation
this time around is incredibly helpful and if i need to stop i can just press the button here
and it will continue to speak or type as i speak and then if i want to edit it i want to edit you
can type and then it will continue as you speak so this is really helpful as you're typing using
dictation it's gotten better it adds punctuation and has been enhanced so that's something that's
really good if your phone supports it and so hopefully those are some very helpful features
that maybe some of them you didn't know about and if you didn't know about them i'd love to
hear from you in the comments below there are many many more but i couldn't cover them all it would
probably take me over an hour to cover every single convenience feature in here but let me
know what your favorite feature is as far as the most helpful feature goes and what you've found
you've used most if you've been using ios 16. i'd love to hear from you in the comments below
