Apple has released its latest operating system update, iOS 16.4, which includes a range of new features and improvements.[0]<\/a><\/sup> One of the most notable additions is Voice Isolation mode, which now works for phone calls as well as FaceTime.[1]<\/a><\/sup> This feature prioritises the user's voice and blocks out ambient noise, resulting in clearer audio for both parties involved in the call.[2]<\/a><\/sup> Another accessibility option added in iOS 16.4 is Dim Flashing Lights, which automatically dims the display of videos when flashes of light or strobe effects are detected.[3]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

iOS 16.4 also introduces 21 new emojis, including animals, hand gestures, and objects.[4]<\/a><\/sup> The update brings back the page curl effect for Apple Books, which had been removed in a previous iOS update.[5]<\/a><\/sup> Additionally, three new order-tracking widgets have been added for Apple Wallet, in small, medium, and large sizes.[1]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

iPadOS 16.4 has added tilt and azimuth support to the Apple Pencil hover feature, allowing users to preview their mark at any angle before applying it.[6]<\/a><\/sup> Apple Podcasts has also been updated, with a Channels tab now available in the Library section, showing different networks followed, and “Up Next” allowing users to resume episodes and remove shows they want to skip.[7]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

There are some improvements for gamers, too, as iOS 16.4 adds support for the customizable PlayStation 5 DualSense Edge Wireless Controller.[1]<\/a><\/sup> Web apps saved to the home screen can now send web push notifications in iOS 16.4, just like on Macs.[8]<\/a><\/sup> Furthermore, the update reintroduces the HomeKit architecture update that was pulled from iOS 16.2 due to bugs.[9]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n

To install the update, users should go to Settings > General > Software Update, and the update should be available for download.[10]<\/a><\/sup> However, it may take a few minutes to appear, as Apple's updates can take a little time to roll out to all devices.[11]<\/a><\/sup><\/p>\n
