A little over two weeks ago Apple had the keynote for WWDC the worldwide developers conference where
they announced a whole bunch of software that is coming to all of our devices this fall if
you're returning to my channel you know that I typically do like Apple event Recaps but a few
things got in the way of this one seeing the light of day wow that rhymed that was great but anyway I
still wanted to talk to you all about the things that are coming this fall because if you know me
you know that I love software because it is what makes our really cool Hardware do the things that
we think are really cool like obviously you need the power and the physical technology in order to
make the software happen but you wouldn't have all the cool features without the software they
kind of come hand in hand but I myself just got an iPhone 13 Pro last year but as soon as iOS 16 for
instance comes out I don't need to get the new device to have all the new features anyway like
I said I still wanted to talk to y'all about what I'm excited for so I decided I would recap Iowa 16
and talk about all my favorite features that are coming this fall in just 16 minutes so if you are
interested in what I'm interested in go and keep on watching at this point you've probably seen
all of these updates across any of your social medias if you have anybody in your life who is
remotely interested in technology but I actually haven't like tweeted or put a lot of things on
my Instagram stories about this yet so if you don't follow any other Tech heads aside from me
you might not know what's coming so the very first thing that I wanted to talk about because I think
everybody will be really excited about this is the updates to the lock screen the lock screen just
got an entire overhaul that is going to completely change the way that I use my device and also the
way that I have my phone laid out not just on the lock screen but in my phone as well okay where do
we even begin first off I'm going to say just the design of the lock screen entirely has changed so
you can now do which I want to know if these have to be portrait mode photos if this can be any type
of photo you can design your lock screen to have like the person you can have like your subject in
front of like the words and the date and the time and all that stuff you can also have lock screens
that rotate between pictures so kind of how you can have that feature on your Apple watch where
every time you lift it it's an new photo you can have that too we have animated lock screens so
there's like one with Earth where it's like half of the screen and then you unlock your screen
and it moves the earth into the full background of your home screen wallpaper there's so many
different ways you can edit within the like lock screen wallpaper editor editor kind of how you can
edit your Apple Watch faces and that's what this is really going to be akin to so if you have an
Apple Watch or if you've ever used an Apple Watch you will be really familiar with this interface
because it just looks really similar you can do editing on like your photos putting filters on
there all that kind of stuff the next part that is mind-boggling to me that apple is even letting us
do this so this is really crazy is you can change the color and the font of the text on your lock
screen so like the time and the date change the color to match your wallpaper change a font to
something you like better whatever your little heart desires you can do it I'm still really
blown away from that they're even doing this and I will be keeping the regular font just because
I like it the best but I'm really excited to be able to change it to match my lock screens
it's gonna be so aesthetic I'm all the people who loved changing their app icons with iOS 14
I think it was or iOS 15 are going to lose their marbles over the lock screen updates oh and then
the best freaking part is the widgets these are just like complications that you have on your
Apple watch so you can have the weather your battery power your calendar events what's up
next you could probably have the podcast thing on there there's so many different widgets that you
can put on your lock screen and when I said that this would change how I use my phone and how my
whole phone is laid out it's because that if you watched my like what's on my iPhone 13 pro video
I have the weather widget right here on my lock screen and I don't like how much room it takes
up but whatever I'm just somebody who likes to be able to check the time and the weather like just
know it I don't need to go into the app whatever so the fact that I can now put the weather on my
lock screen have a widget about it to see when it's going to rain or just even the temperature
I don't need this anymore and I can change around this same thing with the battery power
um oh I don't have that on there but I have like this has some important information up the top
that's my mom's location underneath hand but like you can put your Fitness um activity monitor your
your rings and all that stuff on your widgets on your lock screen so a lot of the stuff that I like
to see at just a glance I know I'm going to use the widgets on the lock screen for them speaking
of the lock screen there's a few other updates to that that are not necessarily related to editing
your lock screen first is live activities this I can see being like so many apps are going to
adapt this feature live activities is instead of getting a series of notifications let's say you're
getting a delivery with deliveroo or ubereats for instance you normally get a notification saying
like Okay your delivery driver has accepted your order and they're on the way to the restaurant oh
they've got your order being laid down they're on the way yeah they're at your house and if you log
into the app you get like a little map you get a little progress bar instead of that being a series
of notifications that are just going to keep pushing to your phone it's now going to be one
little brick of notification that is just being live updated another feature that I really like
this in is the sense of like watching sports because I get ESPN updates when it's football
season American football season go dolphins and I just always get little updates of okay so-and-so
has the ball it's moving this way it's as many yards in this direction whatever and it can
definitely get annoying but I think it can also do a number on your battery but most importantly
it's just annoying to have my phone just be going whatever so now you'll just have one little block
that has the score where the ball's at the quarter that they're in or you know whatever game you're
watching they I think they use an example of baseball you'll just get that all in one live
updated notification which I think is so clever I feel like there's instances that I'm not even
thinking of that will be able to use this live activities feature I'm doing this because I'm
hoping in editing I'm putting it here that's also why I'm sitting so far off to the left so um or
the right to you guys I don't know live activities are just super cool I'm just really excited to see
how they actually play out the next section I wanted to talk about was messages and I'm not
like super jazzed about all the things that they announced but I understand why they're cool I just
personally haven't been somebody who like had that on my Apple wish list the three updates coming to
iMessage is undo messages edit messages and the one that I'm most excited for Mark as unread so
edit messages I think you get like a 10 minute window or something like that to edit a message
if you do edit a message you'll get a little tag underneath the message like the delivered tag so
the recipient knows that something was changed the undo messages I think it's 30 seconds or 10
seconds after you send it you can undo send and then Mark is unread is just like an email you
can Mark a message as unread I know sometimes I'll open up a message and then be like I can't respond
to this now but I will forget about it later and then I just forget about it or I set a reminder
on my phone it's just really clunky by being able to open up a message and then Mark it as unread
right away I know what the contents of the message are I can think about what I need to respond to or
whatever but then the little notification doesn't go away so I know that's gonna help me but I also
know a few people in my life who that is going to very much help I think you'll just help people
respond to messages more and like not forget about them now I do wish that they had some sort of like
follow-up feature like this is jumping a little bit ahead but that's something they announced for
mail is that they'll have like a follow-up or like you need to respond reminder type of thing I wish
they had that with messages because the phone is smart enough to know the content of the message so
maybe it could also know that you need to respond to something especially if it's like a question
so maybe that's a feature we see in the future especially with mail kind of introducing that
idea so a girl can only hope but the other thing that I'm really excited about with messages is
something that I saw on the iOS 16 splash page preview page whatever which by the way they do
this for all of the iOS's for every Apple event I think it's mainly WWDC but they always have like
preview Pages for the software that's coming out so you can kind of like see more things as well
as there are things that they put on there that they don't talk about in the event because of
the fact that they want to talk about their Heavy Hitters and they only have you know an hour and a
half two hours to do so so something that I found on the iOS 16 preview page was beta transcribing
audio messages with this audio transcribing thing is is when you get an audio message just like how
in your or voicemails you can transcribe audio messages it will be like a similar thing which
is really cool especially when you're in a moment where somebody sends you an audio message but
maybe you can't listen to it but you want to be able to respond to this person so I think that
transcribing is cool it also gives me hope that they're working on the audio message feature in
iMessage because I love audio messages they're my favorite but it's really annoying how you
cannot scrub through audio messages now there is a little hack that you can do which is a pro tip
from me is that if you get an audio message from somebody if you force press on it it will open it
up like an MP3 and then you can scrub through it but it's kind of clunky I'm not a mega fan of how
the experiences I don't think it's intentional that they did that I think it's just something
that has happened I don't know how to explain it but it definitely does not look like it's an
intentional thing because then it looks like an MP3 and it's just very very weird but at least
you can scrub through audio messages sorta now but I would like a way to be able to do it within the
interface like you can on WhatsApp and then play pause you know whatever you can still play and
pause but if you pause and then you leave and you you come back or your phone locks you got
to figure out where you were so it's just very messy I would like some updates with it please
Apple if you're watching this Tim Cook Craig Federighi, Hi! um I'd love an invite to the
next WWDC by the way but if you're watching this please update the audio messages okay I still have
a lot of things left on my list but I'm just gonna rattle through a few things and just kind of like
throw them at you and let you think about it uh so here are some things that I am also excited
for but I'm not as excited for I have one heavy hitter on this list so we'll talk about that but
we have live translate using the camera in the translate app which is like my favorite feature
of the Google Translate app you can open up your camera I actually talked about this in my what's
on my iPhone video as well you can open up like for instance Google translate does this but now
apple translate will be able to do this you open up translate you go to the camera you
go to some text on something and then whatever language you're trying to translate it into it
will then put the print on top of these words in the language you're trying to see it in which is
amazing for when you're traveling because listen I know a lot of French but I cannot read the train
kiOSk ticket booth that well and it saved my butt when I was in France so I'm really excited that
this is coming to the translate app I just wish that they would add Dutch but anyway moving on
Apple pay later is going to be very similar to like clarna or after pay you can break a payment
into four payments don't know if there's gonna be a credit check with that so we'll be interested to
see what that looks like in the future this one I know is going to cause problems in the future
um I feel like it is like playing with fire but I know I'm not gonna use it so that's not
my problem I guess but shared libraries within photos is a new feature that's coming it feels
a little risky but also fun for people who are really connected I know some big families have
like group photo albums or they are constantly sending photos in a group chat so maybe having
a shared Library will be really nice you can have a button in the camera app where you can send it
to your personal library or the shared Library which once again that feels a little risky and
I feel like it's going to put some people in some awkward situations another thing I wonder about
that is whose iCloud account is being used because that's a whole ass Library that's a
lot of storage so whose iCloud account is being used whose iCloud storage is being used do you
have to then have a shared family account so then that way you're using the shared family storage
there's kind of no answer to that also can you not share the library with people who are not
in your family what if you want to share it with your uncle or Aunt and they're not in your shared
family on iCloud yeah I don't know anywhoozle within live text there's going to be a quick
translate feature so if let's say I took a picture of something that was in pounds and I wanted to
translate it to USD because my phone is set to be like us is my main currency and like that I'm
a US phone it would then I click on the the God why can't I think I click on the price tag and
then it would automatically translate it into USD that's just gonna be really handy amazing so I've
got three things left first of all lifting images within a photo and turning into a sticker they
don't really have a word for it they were bundling it in the live text category but essentially you
will be able to click on a subject and a photo or even a video you hold it down and then it makes
like an outline around the subject and then you can drag that as like a sticker into like messages
for instance and now you just have like a PNG of your subject the guy in the keynote goes it seems
like magic but it's actually a really Advanced machine learning blah blah whatever and I was
like no you can just tell me it's magic like I'll believe you I was telling a friend about this and
when I was explaining to him and then I showed him the section of the keynote his face was just
like it's insane it's insane I don't need to know the secret sauce you don't need to tell me that
it's machine learning or an AI or whatever it's magic it's okay I know you can do magic Apple
you've done it before and you're doing it again because it's just it's just very cool once again
just a fun feature that I enjoy the other thing that I want to talk about was personal safety
and safety check I think the main feature is called safety check but essentially and this
kind of goes back to the quality of life updates is like obviously the stickers thing is really
cool and like the wallpapers and like the lock screen change is really cool but a lot of these
features are just like oh being able to mark a message is unread that's like a thing I could
use in my life on like a daily basis safety check is another quality of life update that
is actually a big deal so Apple partnered with a whole bunch of domestic violence like groups
and organizations and Women's Wellness shelters and things like that essentially what they talked
about was that one of the things that people say that can help them feel like they're reclaiming
their security and their autonomy and they're taking control of whatever potentially violent
or abusive situation that they're in is by being able to know who has access to what and remove
themselves from that so obviously people will share locations with Partners or family friends
or you know maybe sign into a shared computer but then fortunately for people who are in some sort
of abusive relationship that power and permission that you've previously granted a person can now
be used to hurt you so with this feature called safety check you can essentially see in a list
who has access to what what are you signed in on your Apple ID who are you sharing locations
with who has your messages all of that stuff and essentially relinquish that power in just like
one kill switch so you'll see who has access to what you can see that list and you can go in there
and change those permissions at any time as well as just remove it from every single device with
apple working with these like domestic violence of support groups and Charities and organizations
they've gotten a lot of positive feedback on that and I think this is just going to be something
that hopefully in a perfect world nobody would ever have to use it that would be amazing but by
this being something you can have access to from One Singular device that way you don't have to
go to that computer and remove yourself from that device or whatever process you have to go through
to get kind of your autonomy and your control back so that was just something I wanted to highlight
hopefully anybody watching this video will never have to use this feature but now you know about
it and this is one of those things that makes me love software because anybody can update their
phone as long as it's one of the devices that can receive the update and get this really cool
feature that can make a big impact on somebody's life so there's that and moving on from something
a little bit more serious and heavier to something a little bit more exciting and silly and I'm just
really excited for is multi-stop routing within Apple Maps I've been wanting this for years I
have Google Maps on this phone and the only reason why I do is because they have multi-stop routing
and at one of my previous jobs I had to go do deliveries of things and it was really important
to know what route was the best route the most efficient route I had not the whole day to make
deliveries and also you don't want to waste gas and whatever it's just nice to be able to have
multiple stops on your route now that's coming to Maps thank freaking God you can change it you can
move the little routes around it will just make life so much easier for people who are traveling
or once again if you're just having to make like a whole bunch of stops for a job that you have
like this is going to make things so much more efficient so excited about the multi-stop routing
and after this I will be deleting Google Maps from my phone for good aside from the fact that I'm an
apple stand I just don't like the interface of it a lot it's just slightly different that just
doesn't jive with me just a personal preference thing when I was watching the event and like doing
my notes as I do when I like make my event Recaps I'm really watching the event and I'm like typing
on my computer all the things I want to talk about and it's the only thing in this whole document
that is in all caps and it says multi-stop routing on maps thank God it's the little things that make
me excited as soon as the beta comes out because I actually have a phone I can download the beta on
I have my iPhone 10s you bet your boots I will be testing out the beta and I am so so excited
um yeah so that is iOS 16 in 16 minutes something tells me that's not gonna be completely accurate
sorry I'm like Whispering like this I'm recording in my house and I think all of my roommates are
home so it makes me a little uncomfortable I'm not gonna lie but um you do what you can for the
job for the love of The Craft let me know what you're excited about when it comes to iOS 16 and
if there's things I didn't talk about because I know there's definitely things I didn't talk
about I'm looking at my list here of things that they announced in watch OS but that are coming to
iOS so I'll save that for the next video before I go thanks so much to all my top tier patrons these
