Apple has officially released the fourth beta of the IOS 16 for developers and public beta testers. The update<\/a> contains a number of new updates as Apple continues to prepare for its public release. Here is the information we have discovered so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has been more than three weeks since the third beta of the IOS 16<\/a> was released, since then Apple\u2019s developer team has been busy. As we look at the release notes, there has been a massive list of issues which have now been fixed while heading into this beta.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beta has been released since July 27, 2022. This beta is not stable nor reliable. There are still a few bugs but most from the third beta have been fixed. Besides the bug fixes, Apple has added more changes to the update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messages<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Within the fourth beta IOS 16 update, Apple has made fundamental changes on editing and unsending messages in the Messages app. You will have up to 15 minutes to edit a message and 2 minutes to unsend a message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of that, after a message has been edited, both the sender and the receiver can see a log of changes made to a message. If you press on the word Edited below an edited message, you can see the original message.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Messages can be edited five times and be shown within a log of changes visible. When the sender deletes a message, there is no history of that specific message. The recipient only receives an alert that a message has been unsent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lock Screen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A few fixes were made to the Lock Screen by Apple to give the user an refined experience. When you create or edit your Lock Screen, there is a new text that notifies you that widgets can be added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The astronomy Lock Screen has been tweaked. Looking at it, side by side, the sun looks dispersed and shows a brighter white unlike in the third beta version. The other planets seem to have more details and color too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the developers, Apple has now introduced<\/a> the ActivityKit API. This allows live activities to be displayed on the Lock Screen. Your UberEats order or when your cab is getting closer to your location can be shown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Developers now have the choice to test their apps with this API while preparing for the IOS 16 release this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last Lock Screen feature that was discovered was a change to the notification center settings. When you view the settings, there is a visual way to separate stack, list, or count instead of just looking at the texts. This is easier to understand the notification settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other Changes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

This update also adds the choice to customize the length of undoing a send delay in Mail. Now instead of waiting 20 seconds, you can choose between off, 10 seconds, or 30 seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the home app, Apple has added new wallpapers, one is of some dispersed flowers in the sun and the other one is a slightly blurred white screen. In health, there is a new date view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are also new wallpapers for CarPlay. CarPlay users now have three new options to choose from, along with multiple changes coming this fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Presently, Apple is testing iOS 16 with the registered public beta testers and developers. Apple has planned to release it this fall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
