Here are the 5 most important software updates in Apple iPhone 2022

Apple recently conducted its annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), which saw the launch of important software updates for smartphones, tablets, and laptops. Apple uses developer conferences like WWDC to highlight how its software will alter when it is formally released to users across the world later this year.

Medicines app

The new Medicines app in watchOS 9 is one of the most important features, since it allows you to simply track the medications you take and when you take them. You may either type them in manually or take a picture of them to rapidly add them to the programme. It is also feasible to create timetables to help them remember when to take their prescriptions. The app will notify you if any of your prescriptions have critical or serious interactions, albeit this feature is currently only available in the United States.

iPadOS

iPadOS

Apple's tablet feels mature to a long-time iPad user, and the new iPadOS 16 is just what the iPad needs right now. The iPad now behaves more like a Mac with iPadOS 16. Collaboration, a new feature in Office products like Pages, makes it simple to collaborate with others by allowing them to hop right in and start editing the primary page. It's similar to Google Docs. Freeform is another feature that allows users to interact with a virtual whiteboard. It's supposed to be collaborative once more, and it supports Apple Pencil. Later this year, Freeform will be released. That's not all, though. Apple is introducing support for external displays to iPads with the M1 chip.

 

 

Webcam

To use your iPhone's high-resolution camera as your Mac webcam, forget about the Camo app. Apple has made it simple to transform your iPhone into a camera for your Mac with iOS 16 and macOS Ventura. A Continuity Camera is what it's called. Maybe the best part? When your iPhone is close by, your Mac will recognise it immediately. You don't even have to unlock it or wake it up. It simply connects to your Mac on its own. FaceTime, Zoom, Teams, Webex, and other popular video conferencing apps are compatible with Continuity Camera. Another feature dubbed Workspace View uses the iPhone's ultra-wide-angle camera and image processing to give you a bird's-eye view of your desk. It's an excellent method for creating unboxing videos. When macOS Ventura and iOS 16 are released this autumn, Continuity Camera will be available as a feature. Any Mac that can run macOS Ventura will be able to use it.

 

New lock screen and widgets

New lock screen and widgets

Your lock screen, which you access dozens of times a day to check notifications and the clock, will now come with new changes. For years, Android phones have offered a customizable lock screen. Customizable lock screens, on the other hand, are a new concept for iPhone users. Finally, users will be able to apply various styles and fonts as well as other data at a glance. Consider mini-widgets that display weather, activity, alerts, and other information. Long-press the screen to access numerous lock screen options and find the ideal settings for you, just like on the Apple Watch. Users can also design their own lock screens depending on whether they're at work or at home.

 

Unsend messages

Unsend messages

The ability to edit and send iMessages you've recently sent out is one of iOS 16's most important new features. That's correct. If you frequently use Apple's Messages app, you'll be able to edit or unsend a message after it's been sent. Users will have up to 15 minutes to delete or amend their messages. It's unclear whether this feature only works with Messages app users or if it would also work if you send a message to someone with an Android smartphone. On iOS 16, you'll be able to recover deleted messages for up to 30 days, according to Apple.
