iOS 16 — Top Features
iOS 16

Hey everyone. Apple released the latest version of iOSs called iOS 16 on Sep 16, 2022. It has a ton of good features. Today I am going to share my top 5 favorite features from iOS 16. So let’s start!

1. Translate in Text

If you are viewing a web page or an image in some other language then you can select the text from the image and translate it right there in English or any other language.

To translate any text, select the text and you would see a bunch of options. Use the right arrow to find the “Translate” option.

2. Copy Objects from Photos

I love this feature. Now, in any photos, you can copy an object and share that with any other app like whatsApp, text message or an email.

So first of all, long press on any object in the photo that you want to copy. I want to copy cat from this image so I will long press on the cat.

Now click on the “Customize” button and you can choose your favorite font, color, photos. You can even add different widgets to the screen like weather, phone battery, iPods battery status and so on. Try it and you would love this.

iOS 16 — Shuffle Photos

I really like the Shuffle option. It automatically picks up best photos from your iPhone’s photo gallery and changes your wallpaper every hour. You can set to change photos automatically every day, on each tap e.t.c

4. Remove Duplicate Photos and Videos

All of us so many pictures and record too many videos. And then no one has time to delete the duplicate one. Thanks to iOS 16, it gives an option now by using which you can select all duplicate pictures or videos and can delete them easily. Use the following steps:

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone

2. Tap Albums at the bottom of your screen there

3. In the Albums, scroll down to the section titled Utilities

4. Under the Utilities section, select Duplicates

5. Now you will see duplicate photos and an option to Merge them

6. Tap Merge to delete duplicate photos

5. Medication Reminders

Did you know that about 66% of adults take prescription medications? If you are one of them, then this will help you a lot! What you need to do is, go into the health application and click on the browse option at bottom right corner.

iOS 16 — Medications
iOS 16 — Medications

You will see an option that says medications. Tap on that and then add medications.

iOS 16 — Add medication
iOS 16 — Add medication

After adding the medication, you can keep track of all the medication and vitamin that you need to take. Once you are done with that, you will receive all the reminders. It will also ask you if you took the medication or not. This is so cool!

I hope you would like these feature too. Please share what features do you like in iOS 16.
