Apple’s newest update to its iPhone operating system, iOS 16.1, will be available on Monday, the company announced on Thursday.
iOS 16.1 will launch for iPhone users with an iPhone 8 or newer models, and it adds quite a few features that weren’t available when iOS 16 launched back in September.
Here’s what’s coming.
• Access Apple Fitness+ without Apple Watch: iPhone users with iOS 16.1 will be able to subscribe to and access Apple Fitness+ even if they don’t have an Apple Watch.
• Clean energy iPhone charging: Apple says this will let users optimize charging for when cleaner energy sources are available, helping to decrease your iPhone’s carbon footprint.
• iCloud Shared Photo Library: This will allow you to invite up to five other people, or six in total, to a library where you can all add, delete, edit or favorite photos and videos.
• Live Activities for third-party apps: Once you update to iOS 16.1 your lock screen will feature Live Activities, which shows information from sports games, ride-sharing apps like Uber, or updates on a food delivery order.
• Support for Matter accessories in the Home App: iOS 16.1 will add support for new Matter accessories to the Home app, which lets users control smart home accessories.
MacDailyNews Note: We expect iOS 16.1 to begin rolling out to users right around around 10:00 a.m. PDT.

Hope they fix the camera issue, when using a barcode scanner in a bunch of apps. I just doesn’t focus close up. And if it’s not Apples problem, then help them out with a fix.
Hope they add an analog clock to the lock screen so I can have a bedside clock.
How about an analog clock for the Lock Screen?
