Apple launches the free update to iOS 16 for all users today, September 12, starting at 7pm Italian time. The update to iOS 16 will not be available immediately for all iPhones, and it is to be assumed that in the first few hours the download process will be slower, but within a few hours all should be reached by the notification of the availability of the update. .
You can also search for it manually in Settings> General> Software Update. What devices are compatible with the new operating system? It will be possible to update on iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Mini, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11, iPhone 11 Pro e 11 Pro Max, iPhone Xs, Xs Max, iPhone Xr e iPhone X, iPhone 8 e 8 Plus e iPhone SE 2020 e 2022. iOs 16 introduces widgets for the lock screen, which has been completely redesigned. Lock screen widgets are inspired by the complications of Apple Watch, to see information such as upcoming calendar events, weather, battery level, alarms, time zones, and progress in Activity rings at a glance.
Notifications have been redesigned to appear from the bottom of the display, leaving the custom lock screen free. Very useful news also in the Mail and Messages apps: the user can edit or recall recently sent messages, retrieve those recently deleted and mark the conversations as unread, so that they can be re-read later. You can also postpone or cancel sending an email. With the “Remind Later” function you can make sure that an email is shown again at a set date and time, while the Follow Up suggestions automatically advise you to follow up on a message if the recipient has not replied . Also important news in web browsing: Safari introduces groups of shared panels to which friends and family can add a collection of websites and see what the rest of the group is looking at. In Safari, passkeys were introduced: unique digital keys, which are never stored on web servers and remain on the device, so hackers cannot intercept them with a data breach or have them sent to them by the user with deception. Designed to replace passwords, passkeys use Touch ID or Face ID for biometric authentication.
