ios 16 has over 100 new features changes and updates hi everyone Aaron here for zollotech and i
want to share with you my top five ios 16 features so far the reason i say so far is some of the
features don't work 100 yet so we'll cover that a little bit later as apple updates them with later
betas and then of course the final version the first feature that i really like and everyone i've
shown it to that's either used an android phone in the past or maybe just hasn't been familiar
with it is haptic feedback on the keyboard if we go into settings go down to sound and haptics
go down to keyboard feedback we now have the option to turn on haptic feedback for the keyboard
that means anytime you type the phone actually reacts with a little bit of haptic feedback or
a vibration to let you know you're typing it works great and if we go into a note and i type hi how
are you today it actually vibrates every single time i type a letter now one thing i do wish they
would add to this is a haptic feedback strength like they had on iphone 8 and 8 plus when you
actually went to set up touch id so if we go to our settings general and then home button we can
actually customize the actual strength of the home button haptic feedback this is something i would
love to see brought to this maybe they'll add it in the future the next set of features i think are
fantastic that we've wanted for a very long time have to do with messages if you use imessage which
most people in the united states do if they have an iphone you can now edit a message after you've
sent it for up to 15 minutes so i can say hello how are you and send that and if i meant to type
something else i can press and hold it and then i can edit it right here for up to 15 minutes
and you today maybe i meant to say today with a question mark we'll hit the check mark
it actually says delivered and then edited so this is a new feature here and you can also
undo the send for up to 15 minutes so you can hit undo send it will undo sending the message and it
just disappears and gives you a little feedback or haptic feedback letting you know it's disappeared
you can also recover deleted messages for up to 30 minutes so maybe you deleted a thread you can go
back to your messages go all the way back and you have recently deleted so anything you've deleted
you can now recover for up to 30 minutes you also have the option to mark any thread is unread just
slide it and you can mark it as unread so if i just slide this thread i can mark it as unread
and then it has the little blue dot next to it saying that it's unread now if you've seen my
ios 16 video you know that you can customize the lock screen and this is fully customizable
with widgets and more however there's some nice things in here that i didn't realize after i've
been using it for a few days so maybe we want to create a new one we'll just tap the create here
and suggested photos takes photos from your photo album and makes some really nice backgrounds it
sort of interweaves the time in between the background on some of these and maybe we'll
select this suggested photo and you can see it sort of sits on the horizon with the time
so this is something that is just a little nicety that i didn't realize was there until
i really started to dig into this and look as look into what's available as far as these photos
we can also shuffle the photos as well so not only customize it with our own wallpaper but
we can shuffle between the different photos and then of course we have all of the ones that are
set by apple with full customization of the color so we can change the colors and more
so the more i use this along with focus modes to customize it throughout the day
the more i appreciated it and with customized lock screens such as astronomy it actually
changes throughout the day from day to night and then even lights up some of the lights on the
different areas you're located in so it's really nice of course you can customize each one of these
and the more i use this the more i appreciate it especially things such as photos so if you have
people or dogs or or anything really here it looks great with the time so we'll just hit done for now
and it will go back one of the things that goes along with haptic feedback that i mentioned first
is dictation dictation is something i use all the time to speak my messages and it's so much
better with ios 16. we have on-device dictation when i'm speaking and even if i turn this on to
airplane mode you'll see that if i continue dictation it will continue as i'm speaking
in real time and if i want to stop i can type at any time and then just continue speaking and it
will continue putting information in the actual text box and then adds punctuation all on its own
you can even add emoji such as smiley face emoji and it will show up there by itself so
the dictation is improved drastically and it's a huge step up and works great it's super simple
to use and of course when you want to use the cursor change things select text you can do that
all while you're speaking and just pause by typing and then continue speaking it works
better than i really would have expected and it's definitely one of the best features of ios 16. one
of my favorite features has to do with something we're going to see more and more in the future
and that's pass keys passkeys allows you to sign in to secure websites without using a password
and instead using authentication with your phone so you can authenticate using face id or touch
id and it will bio authenticate to log you in without using a password at all it's much harder
to actually be phished using that since the you're not actually transferring your password anywhere
and if we sign into the sample website this gives you an idea of how it works so you'll see it says
use passkey from a device with a camera or you can use a security key use an external security key to
sign in hit continue and we get a qr code so it says scan this qr code with a device running ios
16 or later or another compatible device to sign into this pass key demo so you can sign in using
this super easy and this will allow you to use this in the future on many different websites just
signing in using authentication this way instead of a password now this is a big standard with
the fido and it allows you to sign in not only something that apple's doing but also something
microsoft and google and others are doing this is going to be the new standard so we can have
a passwordless future and it's tied to our phone securely it's going to be very hard for someone to
actually scam you once you have this installed and on every website so once developers add pass key
authentication this will be great in the future now those were my top five features of ios 16
so far but there's two more i want to share with you the first one has to do with photos so if we
go into photos you'll see we have different media types under our albums and if we scroll down we
have duplicates it's found 1747 duplicates for me i can actually manage these delete the duplicates
or just leave them alone so this is done automatically on device and works seamlessly just
by itself you also have locked hidden and recently deleted folders where you need to use either touch
id or face id to unlock this so that's something that's really great that really has been
overlooked and then also shared photo libraries is huge i think that's going to be great for families
finally families can share their photo library something that google photos and others such as
amazon photos have had for a very long time now it's finally available on ios 16. another big
update has to do with mail i think this was also overlooked but if you use the apple mail app this
is going to be a great update if we go into mail within mail if we want to send a message we can
now schedule the send just press and hold on the send button and we now have options to send now
send later tonight send tomorrow or send later based on a schedule we set this is now built into
apple's default mail app now if we want to send it now we can actually go to the bottom and undo send
for up to 10 seconds so we'll tap on undo send and it undoes the send so it gives us a little bit of
time before it sends out and then also allows us to either change it or just delete it altogether
so that's something that's very simple that i think is something incredibly helpful and then
also search has been upgraded as well just to help you if maybe you put in a typo or
something along those lines future updates that i'm looking forward to is live text in video i
haven't been able to get this to work yet but when you're in a video you can select text and
then copy and paste that text or move it around also within photos one thing i wanted to share is
the ability to press and hold on an object and copy and paste it anywhere this is the original
iphone just press and hold and it just cuts it out of the photo pretty seamlessly that's incredibly
impressive and something that i'll probably use a lot in the future when i'm copying and pasting
between different things so that's built-in and incredibly impressive you can press and
hold on just about any object and you can move it around copy paste it or delete it even those are
currently my top ios 16 features of course there's much more over 100 features changes and updates
let me know your top five in the comments below i'd love to hear what you think is best in ios 16.
