With iOS 16, which has been expected for months, different features have been added to iPhones. Some of these features, which users are eagerly waiting for, were liked and some were not. We examined the new features and touched on the liked and disliked aspects.
Like every year, this year, Apple introduced a new version of the operating system iOS with new iPhone models. With the new iOS called iOS 16; Many different features have come to phones that support the version. With the slow installation of iOS 16, which users are eagerly waiting for, to iPhones, some features that came with the update were liked by the user, while some features were not.
Based on the user comments made to iOS 16, we talked about the liked and disliked aspects of the features added to the new version.
Let’s take a look at the features that come first:
Lock screens can be further customized.
One of the first features that stand out aesthetically with iOS 16 is the customizations on the lock screen. With the new update, the lock screens have been made more colorful. It offers more variety than the old iOS version, where users can use the font and color they want, add toolkits, and combine depth effect wallpapers and watch face.
Turkish support has been added to the translation part.
Turkish language support was added to the translation section with iOS 16. Now, users can translate their translations through the translation application without the need for an additional application, and they can read the foreign web pages they visit via Safari by translating them into Turkish.
The object can be copied from the photo.
With iOS 16, by pressing and holding an object in a photo in the gallery, that object can be copied. This process, which used to be done with 3rd party applications, is no longer required to download 3rd party applications. This feature is designed for users who copy from too many images.
A more comprehensive weather app is offered.
The weather application brings more comprehensive information to users in iOS 16. With the update, users can now have more information in the weather application, apart from hourly weather temperatures and a few weather-related information. This feature will attract the attention of conscious weather application users.
Added keyboard feedback vibrations.
The vibrations that come when pressing the keys on the keyboard were one of the most popular features of Android and were requested by iOS users. With the iOS 16 update, this feature was introduced to users. Users can now receive vibration feedback while typing with the keyboard.
Added duplicate photos feature to Gallery app.
Sometimes, users can save a photo more than once while downloading a photo from the browser or applications, or automatic downloads of applications can cause this. With iOS 16, a new feature has been added to the gallery application that can save users from this trouble and save their phone’s memory from filling up unnecessarily. With the duplicate photos feature, the same photos can be noticed and deleted very easily.
Battery percentage is now displayed.
The battery percentage was a feature that disappeared with the notched iPhone models, but was loved by the users. With the new iOS version, the battery percentage was brought back to the users. If it is turned on from the settings, iPhone users no longer need to pull the notification bar from top to bottom to see the battery percentage.
Emails can be recovered.
Just as some mail apps support retracting emails after sending them back, the iPhone Mail app now supports it with iOS 16. Thanks to this feature, users can now pull back the emails they sent by mistake within a certain period of time and transfer them to drafts.
Notifications have been taken down to show the lock screen.
According to the information provided by Apple, the main reason for the notifications being lowered is that users can see their personalized lock screens more clearly. With the notifications being brought down in iOS 16, users can see their lock screen more clearly and do not have to lift their fingers to look at the notifications.
Now let’s come to the likes and dislikes of iOS 16.
When we look at the first complaint of users, some features that Android users have been using for years are coming to iOS so late.
Lock screen: Most of the customizations on the lock screen seem to have been adopted. The criticisms are that there are more toolkits and customization features.
Turkish translation: The arrival of Turkish language support is another feature that pleases users. If they complain about this feature, it’s not available on some OS 16 phones. To solve this problem, the Turkish language pack needs to be downloaded.
Object copying: Copying objects from within the photograph seems to have won the appreciation of the users. The only complaint about it is that it does not work stable in some photos. The feature will get better over time.
New weather: The added details seem to have drawn attention. Although it may seem unnecessary to some users at first, features such as UV index and humidity rate make daily life easier.
Keyboard feedback: Bringing the vibration feature to the keyboard app, as in Android, has been a feature that iOS users have wanted for years. The company finally added this feature based on user feedback. The only complaint seems to be that it arrives late.
Duplicate photos:It’s a nice feature that will make things easier for users. The reactions are positive. Users can now get rid of the same photos that take up unnecessary space in their memory with a single click. This reflects positively on their phone memory.
Battery percentage: Since the removal of the percentage with the arrival of phones with notches, the feature that iOS users most wanted may be the return of the percentage. Although users are satisfied at first, they complain that the battery percentage icon appears full until it reaches 20%.
Email recovery: Undelete mail is also among the features that make users happy. This feature was previously available in mail applications such as Gmail. Eventually, the iPhone’s own mail application got this feature.
Notifications below: A feature that will change the usage habits of users. While one group of users liked this new design, another group didn’t seem to like it. Let’s look at the design made by Apple to highlight the lock screen, will users be able to get used to it?
So, which of the new iOS 16 features did you like and dislike? What do you think about the new iOS?
