The new update to Apple’s system, iOS 16.2, comes hand in hand with new features designed to improve the user experience of users and here we will tell you what they are
Apple officially presented the stable version of iOS 16.2 the iPhone operating system, after weeks of testing in its beta mode. The update, which brings very interesting news, is now available to be downloaded worldwide.
Although it is a relatively small improvement, it brings some changes that may be liked by the public such as the new Apple Music Karaoke function, more widgets and improvements to the always on display.
Here’s what new features you can expect if you update to iOS 16.2:
1. Apple Music Sing
This is the new functionality of Apple Music that allows users with a subscription to reduce the volume of the voice track of their favorite songs to be able to sing them with their friends.
Overall, the new playback option will also take care of showing the user the lyrics of the song in such a way that they don’t lose the thread of the song while they sing and enjoy doing karaoke.
2. Freeform
It is a new tool that allows the user to have a whiteboard on which they can write or draw, while sharing it in real time with other people. It is designed to be a collaborative workspace where multiple people can interact simultaneously.
3. Always on Display
From now on, people with a device compatible with this technology will be able to show or hide the wallpaper while Always on Display is active. Being able to eliminate the background allows the phone to spend less energy in such a way that the autonomy of the equipment is extended.
4. Game Center
The iOS Game Center now makes it possible for users to play multiplayer games with people they are on a FaceTime call with.
In addition to this, they will have a widget available from their home screen in which they will be able to know what their contacts are playing in real time, so that they can join if they wish.
5. End-to-end encryption
From now on all iCloud services will have end-to-end encryption to ensure that all users’ personal information is kept completely secure at all times.
This means that external actors such as hackers will not be able to access their information and in the event that one of the iCloud servers is compromised, the person will immediately receive a notification.
