New emoji, bug fixes, web app notifications, noise cancellation during calls in the update, and Apple Pay later in America.
On Monday evening, iOS 16.4 became available on all compatible phones, and it can be installed on devices newer than iPhone 8. The size of the update is about 2 GB, and it contains several innovations that may be worth installing. One such example is that iOS now allows web app notifications to be displayed on the home screen as well. The other most important innovation in general is the mobile phone call function, in which the phone tries to completely suppress background noise and accentuate the speaker’s voice with the option of sound isolation.
There are also 21 new emoji in the update, but the most useful thing is that the Photos Factory app not only groups duplicate videos and photos into a separate folder, but also does the same for items stored in iCloud Photo Libraries, if the user allows it. VoiceOver support has been added to map views in the Weather app, and accessibility options have been expanded as iOS can now automatically detect bright lights or flashes of light and darken video that contains them. In addition, an additional improvement in incident detection has arrived on the iPhone 14 and 14 Pro models.
