The majority of Apple’s significant software updates are typically released in the fall, but the company periodically rolls out smaller changes throughout the year. Updates are now being distributed for Apple products such as the iPhone, iPad, and Mac computers, as well as the Apple Watch.
The iOS 16.4 update is now being distributed to iPhones and supported iPod Touch models by Apple. It contains Safari 16.4 with the upgraded web app features that were revealed earlier this year, including as push notifications for sites added to the home screen – Apple is finally catching up to Android phones from 2014 with this new release. In addition to this, voice isolation has been added to phone calls, improvements have been made to the Photos and Weather apps, and a new accessibility setting has been added that automatically lowers the brightness of video “when flashes of light or strobe effects are detected.”
Also, Apple is bringing its satellite Emergency SOS capability to an additional six nations: Austria, Belgium, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Portugal. Up until now, it has only been available in the United States and Canada; however, in order to utilize it in the newly added regions, you will need to update to iOS 16.4.
iPad devices that are supported by iPadOS 16.4 are beginning to receive the update, which brings the majority of the same improvements as the latest version of iOS. On the other hand, there is a brand new tilt feature for hovering the Apple Pencil, as well as bug fixes for the Apple Pencil in the Apple Notes app. The complete changelog, as provided by Apple, may be found below.
In the event that those improvements are not sufficient, macOS Ventura 13.3 is now available, and it shares the majority of its capabilities with the most recent versions of iOS and iPadOS. The Apple Watch now comes equipped with watchOS 9.4, an update that prevents users from turning off wake-up alarms by covering the screen with their hand while asleep. This is because it is easy to do so while sleeping. Moreover, it provides history and cycle tracking of AFib in additional nations.
Also, 21 new emoji have been added, each of which was described in depth by Emojipedia when the iOS 16.4 beta was initially released. There is now a “shaking face,” three additional heart colors (light blue, gray, and pink), and a pushing hand that may go in either the left or right direction. Emojis for a donkey, moose, geese, jellyfish, pea pod, flute, and a number of other animals and objects are also available.
The Settings app on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Mac is where you will find the option to download any newly released updates.
