Other than the main features announced in an update iOS 16There are a number of changes, improvements, and new capabilities that have been incorporated into the iOS 16 update that help improve your iPhone experience. In this article, we list 16 hidden features in the iOS 16 update that you may not have known about.
Get rid of duplicate photos
The Photos app in the iOS 16 update can tell you if you have multiple identical photos, giving you the opportunity to delete them to save space. Duplicate photos are included in a new album titled “Duplicate” It only appears in case you already have duplicates.
Apple calls the new feature “Duplicate Detection.” Using machine learning on the iPhone on the iOS 16 update, it will detect all the duplicate photos and group them in your library under the “Utilities” section of Photos.
Thus, you will be able to easily delete them, freeing up space on your device, and since the feature requires the iPhone to scan and sort all the entire photos, it may take some time before the iPhone starts offering duplicates for deletion.
AirPods Updates
In the iOS 15 update, accessing AirPods settings requires opening the Bluetooth settings and tapping the “i” next to the AirPods menu, which is a hidden and hard-to-find menu for those unfamiliar with the iPhone.
It's even easier to manage AirPods settings with a dedicated Settings section when it appears when they're connected. The iOS 16 update also adds a custom spatial audio feature that uses the TrueDepth camera to scan your ears, providing a unique listening experience.
You can still access the same settings in the Bluetooth menu and see About AirPods under General, then About.
On supported models, there are direct options to set up custom spatial audio and display AirPods in Find My.
Face ID in landscape mode
iPhone models running iOS 16 support face recognition in landscape mode, making it easy to unlock the iPhone when it's not in the standard portrait orientation. The feature is limited to iPhone 13 and later.
Protect hidden and deleted photos
In the iOS 16 update, you need to authenticate with your face or fingerprint before you can access hidden and recently deleted photo albums. This basically locks these albums from view if someone gains access to your phone while unlocking it some other way.
wifi password
It used to be annoying because you can't access the Wi-Fi password of the network you're using and it gets worse if you've forgotten your network password, this has changed in the iOS 16 update, where you can see the Wi-Fi password through Settings, then Wi-Fi, then click on the network you are connected to, and here you can see a new “password” option, clicking on it will show the password of the Wi-Fi network that you are connected to, after authenticating with your face, fingerprint or passcode to unlock the I-lock -fone.
No doubt, this is a useful feature if you need to share a password with someone else or if you want to connect on an Android device where sharing is not available automatically.
keyboard haptic feedback
There is a keyboard setting in the iOS 16 update that lets you enable haptic feedback that can be felt as you type. Dedicated vibrations for each keystroke, providing users with physical confirmation that a character has been clicked.
Copy and delete screenshots
When you take a screenshot on iOS, along with the ability to save the screenshot in Photos, save it as a quick note, and save it to Files, you'll now be able to "copy and delete" the captured image. The new option saves the screenshot to the clipboard and then deletes it from the camera, making it easier to use screenshots once without saving them on the iPhone, and you won't need to delete them later.
Ability to delete Find My, Clock and Health apps
With the iOS 14 update, Apple allowed users to offload some pre-installed apps on the iPhone. And in the iOS 16 update, Apple is expanding the number of apps you can delete, which now includes Find My, Clock, and Health, and can be re-downloaded from the App Store later if needed.
Built-in currency converter
With new features in Live Text or Live Text, iOS now includes a currency converter feature built into the Camera and Photo apps. Just install the iPhone camera up to the specified price, wait for the live text icon to appear, tap and hold the price, and select “convert.” Live text also supports translation and scale conversion.
Watch the battery percentage
In iOS 16, Apple gives users the ability to view their battery percentage directly in the status bar inside the battery icon, eliminating the need to swipe to the Control Center to check the battery level.
Use Siri to end a call
New settings in iOS 16 allow users to use Siri to end an active call. By heading to Settings, then Accessibility, then Siri and activating Call Hangup, users can now say “Hey Siri, hang up” to end an active call. Note, however, that the other person you're speaking to will listen to your request that Siri hang up before you hang up.
Prevent unintended call stops by buttons
Users on the iOS 16 update will now be able to disable the side button so that an active call will not end. In previous versions of iOS, pressing the side button and locking the iPhone while on a call ended it immediately. In iOS 16, Apple allows users to disable this to prevent any error that may occur during calls, by going to Settings, then Accessibility, then Touch, and then activating the "Prevent lock to end call" option.
Sorting options for playlists
In the Apple Music app on the iOS 16 update, users will now be able to sort playlists by title, artist, album, and release date. The new sorting option can be found by pressing the three dots in the upper right corner when viewing the playlist.
Full screen music player
One of the main but perhaps less well-known features of the iOS 16 update is that Apple is bringing the music player back with a full screen lock screen. When listening to audios from the Apple Music app, Spotify, or other third-party music apps, tap the album art on the lock screen from Now Playing to enter the all-new player theme. And tap the full screen album art to reduce Now Playing.
Spatial sound
With the latest AirPods and some Beats headphones, iOS 16 users can activate custom spatial audio. Custom Spatial Audio uses the LiDAR scanner on the iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro, or iPhone 14 Pro to scan the user's ears in order to provide a better spatial audio experience.
New warning while charging
In the iOS 16 update, if your iPhone is hot, you'll get a new notification telling you that charging will be paused until the iPhone's temperature drops. This is done to prevent long-term damage to the battery.
Of course, that's not all. The coming days may bring up new things buried in the iOS 16 update that we didn't know about.

The battery percentage on the iPhone XNUMX is not available right?

Hello brothers, I have a suggestion for the Von Islam team and I hope it will be taken into consideration.
The suggestion has to do with the Shortcuts program. I am one of those people who know the benefit of this program but never use it. The reason is that you found it complicated after a bit. For this, a suggestion to the Von Islam team is to make a weekly series in which a certain number of abbreviations are explained each time, and there is a link to download the shortcut if we like it. ((Such as the principle of the weekly series of applications)). A simple explanation of what the shortcut does, the link to download it, and so on.
I think that this series will be useful for all users, even people who use shortcuts, because this program is huge, comprehensive, and always subject to renewal and creativity.
Peace be upon you, brother Omar
Maybe you followed them again, but they downloaded several articles about it from the first thing that Apple acquired and called it shortcut
A time before the acquisition was like his name
Workflow
Just search for the word workflow and you will find the article I mean
Then search for the word “abbreviations” and you will find a lot of articles, and you are very right in trying to use it. I used it to send daily messages, to change the wall paper, and to remind me of some daily tasks such as opening emails and LinkedIn
Most
Followers do not differentiate between programs and applications.
I will explain it...
The software runs on the PC platform.
The applications run on the mobile platform.
Programs:
Software consists of a set of commands and software that complement each other. The purpose of its creation and programming is to make the computer usable, to execute commands, and to respond to the user. This is one of the differences between the work of programs and the work of applications.
The term Software: refers to the non-physical components of the computer, that is, the components that are not hard and intangible, but are located inside the device and help in configuring it to suit the requirements of customers.
Applications:
In fact, the term application refers to programs that are specifically designed to receive and execute users' commands. The applications also produce specific outputs according to the commands entered into them. In addition, it needs to enter commands to carry out the tasks for which it was designed. And it achieves the results requested by the user. Of course, this is one of the differences between the work of applications and programs. Whereas, programs do not need to enter commands to start working. It works automatically so that the device can work
What can I say to you but thank you, thank you, thank you very much for your efforts
