Month: June 2022

 Apple announced at its WWDC event on Monday that with the launch of iOS 16, there will be some changes to the Maps app on the iPhone this year. New features range from high-resolution images for apps like Zillow to new tools for developers, like making Bird scooters and bikes easier to find.

In addition to these updates, Apple said it will roll out the redesigned map in 11 additional countries later this year. These features include cycling routes and look around, a new 3D urban experience.

New changes to Apple Maps will accompany the release of iOS 16, which also includes a new iPhone Message feature that can help prevent creepy texting faux pas.

Multisite routing is coming to the iPhone

That might change if you regularly use Google Maps for features that Apple Maps lacks. A major update for the iPhone is called Multi-Site Routing. Apple says this is one of its “most requested features.”

With this new feature, you can now plan up to 15 stops on your iPhone. You can also start planning your trip on your Mac and send it to your iPhone when you’re ready to go. Maps stores your previous routes in Recents to make them easier to find when planning your commute.

First, you’ll open the Maps app on your iPhone and enter your first destination. To add more sites, you will click Add site and enter your next destination. For example, you can first enter the coffee shop you want to stop by, and then enter your work address.

If you’re driving and need to add an extra stop, you can ask Siri to add it to your route. This helps prevent distractions so you can focus on the road.

New traffic features are being added

If you use public transportation to commute or grab a bite to eat in the evening, Apple is adding new transportation features to make your travels even more convenient. You will be able to view the fare for your travel expenses.

You can also add new transit cards from Apple Maps to your Apple Wallet app. If your transit card balance is low, you’ll be alerted so you can reload without leaving the Maps app. All you need to do is hit the reload button.

This time it’s been a bumper release, with many improvements to the functionality of the entire operating system on a scale arguably not seen since iOS 8. While some people look forward to Stage Manager on their iPads or the Weather app on macOS and iPadOS, iOS 16 brings some features I look forward to seeing on my iPhone 13 Pro. Here are seven features I look forward to once iOS 16 is available to everyone.

1. New lock screen

Improvements to the lock screen are at the heart of iOS 16, as you can choose from a variety of colors, fonts, and photos to make your own lock screen . Using iOS’ Focus feature, it can restrict certain apps and notifications at specific times, and it can change the lock screen based on a profile you choose.

2. Accessibility

While Apple confirmed these in May, there are a number of accessibility features that are not only useful but hint at applications for Apple’s future AR headsets. You also have the option to view Live Captions during a FaceTime call, and you can control your Apple Watch directly from your iPhone, giving you a bigger screen to interact with.

3. Mail

In iOS 16, most of the features I’ve seen from Google finally appear in Apple Mail, including reminders to schedule, undo, and follow up on certain emails, all of which make the process a lot richer.

4. Message

iOS 16 introduces some features to help Messages catch up. For example, “Undo Send” has arrived and you can delete a message up to 15 minutes after it was sent. Likewise, you can also edit the message within the first 15 minutes, but this only applies to iPhone-to-iPhone messages.

SharePlay will also be present in the app, so for example, if you’re watching an episode of Obi Wan Kenobi on Disney Plus, you can share it with others via Message so they can watch it with you.

5. Safety

Security Checks allow users to quickly and securely revoke all access they have granted to partner information and other applications.

An emergency reset feature lets users stop sharing their location with others and easily sign out of iCloud on all their devices, while being able to reset privacy permissions and limit messaging to the devices in their hands.

It also allows you to generally check and manage the people and applications you have granted access to your information, and revoke them if you need to.

6. A better home

The Home app can be slow to use and slow to respond to our commands for certain lights. So it’s good news for both of us to see the app finally get a redesign, especially since it finally offers widgets so you don’t have to rely on third-party apps to handle those.

The changes were announced alongside the new Matter smart home standard, and the new look makes it easy to see an overview of all your lights at once and control them right at the top of the app.

7. AirPods finally have their own section

Instead of going to Settings > Bluetooth > AirPods Pro, you’ll be taken to a direct menu right after launching Settings, where you can view the battery levels of both AirPods and the case, as well as custom taps and Siri.

This will work with other peripherals like AirPods Max, but it’s unclear if this will work in the same way for Apple-owned Beats headphones.
