Public beta will not be available for at least 3 or 4 weeks. Remember that an
early beta is about much more than trying out new voices, there will be a lot
of bugs, some of your apps may not open or crash and you may experience a lot
of unpleasantness so hopefully you are prepared for that and know how to revert
back to iOS 15 should you find the early betas intolerable. Of course if you
have a second device you don’t depend on it is much safer to install a beta on
that device and this way you can test, but of course running a beta and testing
also comes with the responsibility to report bugs via the Feedback app. I don’t
want to discourage anybody from doing this, but one has to remember that beta
testing is not for everybody. If you like things to work and you don’t like so
much change then it is probably not for you. If you don’t feel you want to
spend considerable time testing out new features and reporting bugs and other
findings to Apple then don’t beta test. If you are simply curious about a
couple of new voices then wait until the public release in September, after
all, it is only 3 months away.

I wonder if iOS 16 will be available for iPhone 8 models like the iPhone 8 Plus
which is what I have. From what I heard they didn’t mention at the Keynote with
models of iPhone that OS will be available on. Great news regarding the new
voices.

What’s New in iOS 16 for iPhone
TIM BROOKES @timbrookes
JUN 7, 2022, 9:30 AM EDT | 8 MIN READ
iOS 16 logo
Apple
Apple announced iOS 16 for the iPhone at WWDC 2022. As usual, this
update is free and the release is expected in late September (2022). The
update is packed with tweaks that will hopefully change the way you use
your iPhone for the better.
aclk sa=L&ai=CCfPHV4OfYtK2ComF…
A More Dynamic Lock Screen
It’s been a while since Apple has done anything major to the Lock
Screen, but that changes with iOS 16. The update will allow you to
customize your Lock Screen colors, fonts, and even place and rearrange
widgets. In iOS 16 the Lock Screen feels more like an Apple Watch face
than a traditional static display.
iOS 16 Lock Screen styles
Apple
Apple will even include a Lock Screen gallery that features designs to
inspire or download. Like an Apple Watch face, you can switch between
different Lock Screens with a tap-and-hold and then swipe. In addition
to fonts, a new multilayered photo effect and suggested photos will be
suggested, or choose a set of photos to shuffle automatically throughout
the day. You can even apply styles so that photos conform to a style of
your choosing in a complementary manner.

Widgets are a bit like Watch face complications and include information
like your Watch activity rings, weather conditions, a world clock,
battery levels for accessories like AirPods, alarms you have set, and
more. There’s even a WidgetKit API that third-party apps will be able to
use to put information right there on your lock screen.
iOS 16 Widgets
Apple
A new Live Activities feature pins what is effectively a notification
that updates itself to your lock screen. This allows you to follow live
events like sports games or workouts simply by raising your device,
complete with an API for developers to use. Notifications in general get
a slight boost with bold text and better images, and the Now Playing
screen gets a full-screen mode that makes better use of album art.

Finally, you can also change the way Notifications display on your lock
screen. Not only are there new animations for a more visually pleasing
Lock Screen, but you can also choose from a list view, stack view, and
count view, and change the context on the fly. All these features make
for a more engaging way to interact with your iPhone without swiping
through to your Home screen.
A More Powerful Focus Feature
Focus allows you to remove distractions by delivering notifications
silently, muting distracting apps, and letting your contacts know that
you’ve snoozed notifications in apps like Messages. iOS 16 expands on
the feature set by linking your Lock Screen to your Focus, allowing you
to display certain Lock Screens (including designs, widgets, and styles)
when specific Focus modes are enabled.
This functionality carries over to the Home screen, allowing you to hide
certain apps, or use specific widgets that are useful to whatever Focus
mode you have set. Focus filters let you set “boundaries” within apps
like Safari and Calendar, which will automatically recall specific tab
groups or hide certain calendars depending on what you’re doing.
iOS 16 Focus Home Screen switching
Apple
Third-party developers get access to a new Focus filter API, allowing
them to build some of these more complex features into their apps. You
can also schedule Focus modes in iOS 16, allowing you to do things like
enabling your Work focus between certain hours or when you’re in a
specific location.
New Messages Features
iOS 16 users will be able to edit or unsend a message (within 15 minutes
of sending it) and recover deleted messages (within 30 days of deletion)
when chatting with other Apple users via the iMessage platform. You can
also mark any message (including SMS) as unread, a long-overdue feature.
Edit Messages iOS 16
Apple
Apple is also expanding its SharePlay feature to Messages, allowing you
to send invites to synchronized activities like watching movies, working
out, or listening to music. You can also send invites to collaborate on
projects like Pages documents or Apple Notes with groups of people in a
Messages conversation, with collaboration updates automatically posted
to the group.
Passkeys Replace (Some) Passwords
Passkeys represent an exciting step towards a password-less future.
Apple is rolling the feature out with iOS 16 after a short beta testing
period. The technology uses biometric logins via Face ID and Touch ID to
completely replace passwords using public and private key cryptography.

Unlike passwords, passkeys are highly resistant to phishing attacks and
safe from website leaks since they are unique to your device. They sync
via iCloud and provide a simple way of logging in, without having to
remember a password or use a password manager. Apple has worked closely
with Google and Microsoft on implementing the feature.
The password-less future is right around the corner. Learn more about
how this technology works.
Maps Gets Multi-Stop Trips
With iOS 16, you can now add multiple stops to trips you make with Apple
Maps, with the ability to plan these trips on your Mac and have it sync
to your iPhone.
Apple Maps Will Soon Be Better Than Ever

You can also see any transit cards you have added to your Wallet right
inside of maps, and top up if you need to. You’ll also know how much
your journey will cost (in some areas, of course) with estimates for
transit fares for your trip.
iOS 16 Maps multi-stop trips
Apple
Fitness App for All iPhone Users
If you have an Apple Watch you’ll no doubt be familiar with the Fitness
app that allows you to track workouts and view your Activity ring
progress. In iOS 16, this application will be available to anyone
whether or not they have an Apple Watch, with Apple expanding fitness
features across the board.
Some Nice Safari Updates
iOS 16 lets you create pinned tabs within Tab Groups, and even share
those Tab Groups with other groups of people. You can have dedicated
start pages depending on which Tab Group you’re using, plus with the new
Focus features default Tab Groups could become even more important since
they can change dynamically based on what time it is or where you are.

Expect extensions to become more interesting with expanded APIs for
developers to play with, and those extensions will now sync between
devices over iCloud. There’s also the usual annual push for more web
technologies to make it into Safari, improving Safari’s compatibility
across the web and opening up more opportunities for developers.
Apple has also promised that web-based push notifications will be a part
of the iOS 16 rollout, but these won’t arrive till 2023. Not excited
about getting spam notifications from websites you barely remember
visiting? Relax, they’ll be opt-in.
iCloud Shared Photo Library
While you can already create shared albums with iOS 15 (and earlier),
iOS 16 will allow you to share whole photo libraries with up to five
members of your family. This will be a separate photo library, where you
can choose to share all of your old photos or choose to share specific
photos complete with smart sharing suggestions to make picking the right
photos easier.
Shared iCloud Photo Library
Apple
With a shared iCloud Photo Library, you’ll be able to get memories of
events that everyone has contributed to. You might see events that you
participated in, from a different perspective in images that you didn’t
take, for example.
Improvements to Apple Mail
Mail gets some useful power tools like the ability to unsend messages
(within 10 seconds of sending them) and a mail scheduler for sending
mail at a later time. Follow-up lets you move messages you have sent to
the top of your inbox so you won’t forget about them and can follow up
at a later date, while a “Remind me” setting will resurface messages in
your inbox at a later date so that they don’t get buried over time.

Mail will also be a little more forgiving when searching your inbox,
with corrections for search terms and smart search suggestions as you
type. Errors like forgetting to include an attachment should trigger a
reminder to check your message before you send it, a feature that’s
common in other apps and mail services.
More Smart Home Features
Apple has overhauled the Home app in iOS 16, with a new design intended
to make it easier than ever to control all of your HomeKit devices.
You’ll get a new house view, categories for devices (like Lights,
Speakers, TVs, and so on), up to four connected cameras on the main Home
tab, and under-the-hood improvements that Apple claims will make
interacting with HomeKit devices even faster.

Apple
You can also put new Home widgets on the lock screen to interact with
devices or see a quick status update simply by raising your iPhone.

Apple is also introducing support for Matter (arriving in a later
update), which has been designed to allow connected devices (even those
that use different platforms, like Google or Amazon) to work better
together.
Add Medications to Health
If you take medicines (or supplements) on a regular basis, iOS 16’s
updated Health app will allow you to better track your schedule, add
medicines using your iPhone camera, and get reminders to take those
medicines on a custom schedule. You can also log when you’ve taken
medication and learn more about what you’re taking (though you should
always listen to your doctor first and foremost).
One thing that logging your medications can do is notify you of
potentially dangerous medication interactions. You can also share Health
data with family members (or request that they share their data), and
customize exactly what is shared.
Apple Pay Later and Wallet
Apple Pay Later is a new buy-now-pay-later service for select applicants
in the United States that allows you to split a payment into four equal
installments over six weeks, with the ability to track what you owe in
Wallet. It works anywhere Apple Pay is accepted.

You can also track regular Apple Pay transactions, displaying delivery
information right in Wallet with participating retailers.
iOS 16 Wallet
Apple
Wallet also gets some handy new features, like the ability to safely
share keys for smart devices over messaging apps like Messages and
WhatsApp, with the ability to revoke permissions when you need to. You
can also add photo ID cards to Wallet and share them with apps that
require identity or age verification, though this won’t be available
everywhere.
More iOS 16 Features
This is just the tip of the iceberg, with hundreds of new features and
tweaks being made in iOS 16. Apple is also promising the next generation
of CarPlay, a huge list of Accessibility improvements, better App Clips,
Handoff for FaceTime calls, and expanded Hide My Email feature, more
Memoji poses and styles, pinned lists in Reminders, and Weather warning
notifications.
iOS 16 Features
Apple
Apple announced iOS 16 at WWDC 2022, among other big news like the M2
chip, a new MacBook Air, and powerful new iPad multitasking features.
