, the new software coming to all iPhones in a few months’ time. And while features like designer lock screens and enhanced health apps lean in to Apple’s established strengths, iOS 16 also continues to borrow from the iPhone-maker’s competitors as well. Here’s what’s new.Apple has struggled to find a good balance over the years when it comes to notifications.
So what does all this mean for notifications? By default, they’ll show up in a small Rolodex-like doodad at the very bottom of the lock screen, but you will be able to pinch them down to just a line of text that tells you how many you have, or expand them to their regular full-screen size. Health is an area where you’ll notice new features in iOS 16 as well. Apple is adding a medications tool that tracks which meds you’re on and reminds you when to take them, while also opening up the Fitness app for everyone, not just those with Apple Watches. Fitness will use the iPhone’s motion sensors to determine your steps and movements to plot them on its activity rings.
Likely to be most divisive is the new ability to recall or edit messages for up to 15 minutes after they’ve been sent, which is great for correcting typos but could make for some awkward convos. You can even mark received messages as unread, to make it clear to your recipient you won’t be replying any time soon.
