Hot damn apples ios 16
is just banging there are a ton of brand new and totally fresh features you need to check out downloadable from iphone 8 all the way to iphone 14 so let's get into it finally guys we have some epic customization options and i am so here for it there are so many different and cool options to choose from as you can see like this one from suggested photos so once you've chosen the picture you want to use you can actually adjust it a bit to have the time in front or behind your subject then we also have this super popular emoji wallpaper that everyone seems to be loving at the moment and i mean for good reason because it is so awesome you can customize the different emoji options by clicking on that button so i decided to go with a bit of a space theme then if you click these three dots you can actually choose a different background color once you're happy with the background color you can then choose a different style just by swiping left so there are a ton of different ones .
I think six in total so you can go kind of crazy then you can also change the font of the clock just by clicking on it there are six different options to choose from and they're pretty wicked you can also change the color just by tapping on one of these pre-selected ones or the rainbow wheel which i mean then you can get any color if all that wasn't cool enough we can even add widgets and i'm so excited to see how this develops over time so you can add a battery widget a weather widget your fitness tracking widget and when you're happy with the widgets don't forget to swipe left or right to just see if there are any other wallpaper options but finally when you're done you can save that as your beautiful new lock screen and you can even set any one of these lock screens to change when you choose a new focus mode so if you guys like this customization thing then i suggest you stick around to the end because i've got something really cool for you guys now i freaking love this next feature if you take a picture of anything and then click and hold down in photos look at how it instantly separates your subject from the background so what you do is just tap and hold on the picture you want to cut out you'll actually see it trace the outline it's so cool then click share now tap save image and what this will actually do is save that cutouts as a freaking png image it's literally that simple and if you zoom in the lines are actually really crisp even .
If you have a fairly busy picture with a lot going on you can still do this but you will sometimes see it doesn't always work the best i mean you can take pictures of catches dogs people chairs just about anything you can think of and completely remove that background poof just like that so the photos app also got three major editions that are just super sweet the first one is to do with editing so if you select any picture in the photo application then add some saturation or contrast whatever type of style it is you like what you can do is click on those three dots and say copy edits then you can go and select any picture in your gallery click on those three little dots and now paste that exact same edit to all those pictures in one go this is such a useful feature because i actually really enjoy editing my pictures in the photos app editor so this is kind of a big deal okay then the second one is equally amazing if you're in the albums tab and scroll right down to the bottom you will see this new option that says duplicates and in here it shows you every single image or video you have a duplicate of so if you click merge it'll get rid of the duplicates but keep the highest quality picture or video i don't know if any of you noticed but i have over 600 duplicates in my photos album so luckily you can't select all of them at once click merge and in a couple of seconds it'll do its thing get rid of them i probably would have sat for about a decade trying to get rid of those one by one and then by far the best update in photos is the hidden and recently deleted albums are now permanently locked you can only unlock them with your phone passcode or face id i cannot believe it took this long to arrive but thank you apple gods incredible we now have it okay so check .
This out you're gonna want to do this head into settings then down to sound and haptics then click on keyboard feedback and there it is haptics that's right we finally have typing vibrations so whether you open whatsapp or notes or your emails i don't know where it is you like to type but when you use the keyboard those satisfying keyboard vibrations every time okay so imessage received some brilliant updates because now if you send a message to a friend and decide oh well you know i kind of want to unsend that you actually can you just tap and hold down the message then click undo send and it undoes it sending or if you want you can just edit the send message by tapping and holding down clicking the edit button the n making your correction and when you're done just click that blue tick and your message will officially be edited yeah okay so here's a quick fact did you know around 66 percent of adults take prescription medication so i have to take my hats off to apple for this one so if you head into the health application and click on that browse icon you will see this new option that says medication this honestly is just so smart because what you can do is now keep track of all the medicine or vitamins you need to take on a daily basis .
You can add your medication in two ways so you can just take a picture of it or you can manually just type it in and this is where it gets even better because you can set reminders for what time of the day you need to take a specific medication as you guys can imagine there are so many different options and variables to choose from but now most importantly when you receive a medication reminder and tap on it you'll be reminded of what you should be taking as well as the dosage and you can pop in whether you've taken it or not and it also keeps a log of every single time you've taken your medication you can also see what medication you took nice one apple now i never use dictation on my iphone simply because of this one missing feature until now so with the previous ios you didn't really have grammar correction and you couldn't even say emojis but now with the new update let me show you so if i ask a question like are you subscribed it should add in all the grammar question marks you name it and i can also say hoop emoji laugh emoji heart emoji eggplant emoji so as you can see this update makes a pretty big difference now to be honest whoever decided on this feature at apple needs a raise because i love it the brand new search button the bam on the home screen yes i love this and i surprisingly use it a lot now it's just in such a smart spot and look at how easy you can access it just swipe back home click that button and you're already searching no wait you're going .
To the photos app i want to search something click the button it's just in such an intuitive spot and spotlight is even smarter because it searches through apps mails maps notes contacts messages safaris all with a simple thumbs up so i don't know how many of you use a weather app but it got a big update if you know where to look so in the weather app you can now select a day and then get a bunch more information for every hour of every day for the next 10 days matt so if you are planning on having a beautiful picnic with four kilometer wind speeds a uv index of six at 2 o'clock in the afternoon and a 10 chance of rain now you can so by now i'm pretty sure you guys know that you can extract text from any picture but it's been taken to a whole new level because if you have a video and that video has any text in it you can just pause at any point tap and highlight the text and just like that it has extracted everything from a video i'm sorry but that's kind of a big deal it's also really accurate this honestly blew my mind so anytime you need to copy some text just take a video of it okay and the thing is it can also extract handwritten text like what then apple maps received this brand new feature that 99 of us will actually use if you're planning a long road trip or any destination for that matter once you swipe up under directions you'll see add stop genius as the name would suggest you can add any stop along the way you just type in the destination and you can add as many stops as you want you can also reposition the stops in the right order i mean that would be a bit of disaster if you couldn't then just click a go and you're good to go i mean this is just perfect for long ass road trips or short ones it's actually good for a lot of things now this is actually a very unique feature in ios 16 if you head into accessibility and scroll down to sound recognition which is not new but if you go into sound recognition you will now .
See these options that say custom alarm and custom appliance or doorbell so yes what that means is you can actually add a custom sound to sound recognition so if you have a custom appliance or doorbell that you want to add to sound recognition just run through the setup process it'll show you exactly what to do it's super simple and in a couple of seconds it's added if for example i want to get a notification on my phone when my air fryer is finished sound recognition will alert me when i didn't hear it because my iphone did you can set up any number of doorbells or appliances and this is so useful if you wear headphones a lot or a bit hard of hearing on to some nifty tips every time you click the share button you now have the option to save anything to quick notes then at any time you can just click on the notes application right at the top you'll see quick notes and any important links or photos will be right there under your accessibility settings you also have the option toenable live .
Captions as soon as this is on you'll see the live captions icon appear on your home screen once you tap on it it'll activate and if you click the mic icon now you can listen to everything that is being said around you noise then in wi-fi settings once you have connected to a specific wi-fi you can just click on password and now see the password it makes it so much easier to connect to other devices or even just share it with friends then air pods have received their very own settings tab front and center you don't need to go through blue tooth settings and all that jazz anymore to change things up i mean it was about time there is just so much to this epic new update .
