Try these features first in iOS 16

iOS 16, the next version of Apple's iPhone software, is now available for download. Here's a look all the major changes coming to iOS 16.

iOS 16 lock screen

The changes to the iOS 16 lock screen are probably the most prominent with this software update, as you can now customize your iPhone's lock screen with different fonts and colors.

iOS 16 Messages

Messages adds the ability to mark texts as unread, which can come in handy if you want to review them later when you have more time. You can launch SharePlay through Messages as well.

iOS 16 Mail

Messages isn't the only apps to gain the ability to take back what you've mistakenly sent; iOS 16 Mail now has that feature, too. In addition to the ability to unsend emails, you can also schedule an email to be sent later.

iOS 16 Safari

Building upon the Tab Groups feature introduced with iOS 15 last year, iOS 16 Safari adds collaboration tools by letting you share Tab Groups with other people.

iOS 16 Maps

More detailed city maps are coming to more places in iOS 16 Maps, and you'll also be able to find the cost of trips when you plot out routes using the navigation software.

iOS 16 News

The big addition to the News app is a feature called My Sports, that lets you select favorite teams across a variety of sports.

iOS 16 Fitness

You no longer need an Apple Watch to monitor how much you move. iOS 16 adds a standalone Fitness app that tracks your steps, distance traveled and calories burned.

iOS 16 Focus

In iOS 16, as Apple streamlines the setup process for Focus. New filters let you fine-tune what's permitted and what's blocked out when you've set a Focus mode.

iOS 16 Photos

Editing and organizational tools get most of the attention in iOS 16 Photos, as Apple adds the ability to copy and paste edits to photos and videos, saving you time when you want to make identical changes to a batch of photos at once.

iOS 16 Live Text

Apple added Live Text and Visual Look Up to iOS 15, tapping into the neural engine on its recent processors to let you copy text out of photos and look up information about things that you've photographed.

Battery % indicator

You can now adjust the indicator in the status bar to show a percentage instead of a fill line. It's a shame you can't have both at once like you used to be able to, but at least you now have a choice.
