Apple is also reinforcing the security of its device with this update by incorporating a powerful protection feature termed as ‘Lockdown Mode’. It also introduced a new authentication method with a biometric sign-in system termed as ‘passkeys’ as a more safe and secure alternative of passwords.

With this update, the iMessage has become more flexible as the users can edit a message for up to 15 minutes after it is sent, and they can also reverse it in two minutes of sending.

The Cupertino tech giant's built in Mail app will have a new scheduled send option in iOS 16 alongside the functionality to quickly unsend an email.

Another crucial update introduced in the eligible iPhones is the enhancement in built-in keyboard haptics as it helps in experiencing the vibrations while typing.

The update revamps the Home app with new camera views and widgets on the lock screen.

The update also brings a radical technology which allows iPhone users to copy text from videos now. Earlier, with iOS 15 Apple introduced Live text feature which allowed users to copy text within a photo or while using the camera.
