Sharing photos with family members is getting a whole lot simpler in iOS 16. If you set screen time limits, but your kids just need ten more minutes (honest!), you’ll be able to extend the timer through the Messages app.įinally, a Family Checklist can remind you to review what parental controls are active, and help you deactivate or raise limits as your children get older. Assigning user profiles for each child and turning on age-appropriate restrictions can now be done across devices, and from one place, with fine-grain control over the sort of ebooks, movies, TV shows and apps they’re allowed to access. Limiting what your kids can do on their iOS devices, and for how long, is getting a lot more straightforward in iOS 16. Previously this used the camera to identify objects now it’ll isolate subjects from their backgrounds, and let you drag them into other apps. Visual Lookup is also getting an upgrade. It makes for a neat demo, but we’re not sure how useful it’ll be for the iOS-using majority. The iPhone’s Neural Engine will also be called into action for text detection in videos, meaning you can pause a clip, highlight any text and paste it into another app. It’ll recognise punctuation and emojis now, and all the language processing is done on-device, so you don’t have to worry about your ramblings living on a server somewhere. Now the onscreen keyboard will stay visible while you’re speaking, so you can swap input types on the fly. Voice dictation apparently gets a big thumbs up from a sizeable number of iPhone owners already – and Apple’s planning to make it even better. Messages now supports SharePlay, too, so you can start a session directly within the app and catch up with a video at the same time as your friends. Chats can now be marked as unread with a right swipe on the thread, for when you’ve not had the time to compose a reply and you need a reminder to get back to your contact later.
