While the headline feature of iOS 16 is the customizable Lock Screen, the new OS will include several other useful features on the iPhone.
iOS 16 includes a new Live Activities feature that provides live notifications on the iPhone’s Lock screen. Live Activities will be useful for staying on top of live events or other tasks, such as keeping up with the score of a sports game, tracking the progress of an Uber ride, monitoring the status of a Starbucks order, viewing a timer, and more.
iOS 16 introduces the ability to edit or unsend recently sent iMessages… Apple allows users to edit or unsend an iMessage for up to 15 minutes after sending it.
iOS 16 adds support for the Nintendo Switch’s Joy-Cons and Pro Controller.
Apple Pay on iOS 16 is gaining built-in order tracking information in the Wallet app for online orders completed via Apple Pay. The tracker provides an order’s estimated delivery date and indicates when a package is out for delivery.
Starting with iOS 16, the Fitness app is now available on the iPhone for all users, even if they don’t own an Apple Watch.
Check out all of the screenshots along with more info in the full article here.
MacDailyNews Take: Having the Fitness app on iPhone strikes us as the least useful, since you’d have to carry your iPhone with you all day. It’s perfect for Apple Watch, not so much for iPhone.
Live Activities will prove to be super useful and, at times, the ability to edit or unsend recently sent iMessages could be a lifesaver!
Interns: TTK. Everyone: Prost! 🍻🍻🍻

Of course, this is all just as my name says. Because I am.
Biden – he makes Carter look good. Biden is THE WORST President the US has ever seen. A dementia-laden thug, his performance on Kimmel was a disgrace. The guy can’t string two words together. Biden is EVERYTHING that Trump was fancifully accused of being – mentally troubled, mentally deficient, a clear and present danger, befuddled, corrupt.
Biden… the biggest disgrace ever. He deserves to be in a jail cell next to Harvey Weinstein so Harvey has a new “plaything”.
Kamala is even worse than Biden, but America is just reduced to biding time until these two traitorous scummy disasters are GONE from their unearned, stolen positions of power.
Harris – another waste of space, the leg spreader that became Vice President. An Apple IIe has more brainpower that Commiela Harris.
And this has what to do with iOS?
Everything. Biden is Android – time to go thermonuclear on him and Commiela Harris
I love these new features; They will make life and communication much easier.
