Improved Family Sharing
For those with kids or grandkids, family sharing is becoming much more straightforward and user-friendly. Through parental profiles, it’s now possible to set age-appropriate restrictions for each child, controlling what ebooks, movies, TV shows, and apps they can access – all from one place. Parents now don’t need to worry about sneaky kids trying to stay up past their bedtime as an extension timer can be activated through the Messages app.
For added reassurance, a Family Checklist will send reminders on what parental controls are in place and where limits need to be increased or lowered as children adjust with age. All in all, iOS 16 makes parenting easier by helping you ensure your children only access content that is suitable for them.
Identify Duplicate Photos
Utilizing the Photos app on iPhone has always been a great way to manage your personal images, but with its new updated features, you can have better control of your library than ever before. Now with iOS 16, the Photos app is able to detect any duplicate photos that are an unnecessary use of storage space. To start searching for these duplicates all you have to do is tap into the “Albums” tab in Photos and scroll down until you find “Duplicates” within the “Utilities” heading.
From there you can review any photos it identifies as duplicates, view them in the library, or even choose to merge and delete them from your device. So say goodbye to storage space being taken up by unnecessary duplicates and get organized with the latest updates from iOS 16!
Customizable Lock Screen
With iOS 16, your iPhone’s lock screen is completely up to you. You can now press and hold on the lock screen to bring up an editing menu that allows you to swipe through multiple styles and customize it with your own photos as the background. The different styles also differ in color filters and font properties, making for a pleasant experience that looks just as clean as Google’s Material You from Android 12.
Additionally, you can further tailor the lock screen look by selecting different fonts for the time and date, as well as adding lock screen widgets like temperature, activity rings, and calendar events. Widgets are similar to Apple Watch complications – allowing for a truly personalized interface that makes accessing important information even quicker and easier.
Reasons To Update Your iPhone
There are many reasons to keep your iPhone up-to-date, including new features, bug fixes, and performance improvements. Apple releases a new version of iOS every year, and each update brings new features and enhancements. For example, you now know some of the amazing updates from IOS 16. However, bug fixes are another important reason to stay up-to-date. With each new release, Apple includes fixes for any security vulnerabilities discovered since the last update.
Performance is also improved with each iOS release. So if you’re noticing that your iPhone is starting to feel sluggish, a new update can help speed things up again. Updates are free and easy to install, so there’s no good reason not to keep your iPhone up-to-date.
