A little over a month ago, Apple released an update iOS 16.0 With more than 350 new features, then Apple released sub-updates to solve some problems, and the iOS 16.1 update came with more great updates. While some features were expected and some were delayed from the iOS 16 update, others were somewhat surprising, in addition to the debut of iPadOS 16. Find out what's new with us in the iOS 16.1 update.
Larger battery percentage numbers
In the iOS 16.0 update, Apple added a switch in Battery settings on devices that support a face or notch to enable the battery percentage in the status bar. The update put the percentage inside the battery icon, the numbers have been improved, made bigger and easier to see in the iOS 16.1 update.
Battery percentage in the status bar
The iOS 16.1 update also adds battery percentage on the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini, and all iPhone devices that did not support the feature in the iOS 16 update.
clean energy charging
To enable this, go to Settings -> Battery, then open the Battery Health & Charging menu, which was previously only Battery Health, and you'll see a new option called Clean Energy Charging.
Apple says the iPhone will attempt to reduce your carbon footprint by selective charging when low-carbon electricity is available, and says the iPhone learns from your daily charging routine until it reaches a full charge before you use it.
The feature can be turned off if desired. Because it was enabled by default after updating to iOS 16.1.
Direct activities
A new type of notification that allows you to follow something in real time, appears at the bottom of the iPhone lock screen, as well as on Dynamic Island, and displays the latest app data, updated in real time such as an Uber flight approaching, a flight, a game Sports, and more.
Live Sports in the Apple TV app is one example of what Live Activities can do. Choose a live game available in your area from the Live Sports section, then press the Continue button. You will then see your game-by-play and real-time results on your lock screen and on the Dynamic Island.
There are also four different viewing modes for live activities on the dynamic island: compressed front view, compressed back view, lowered view, and expanded view.
Programming interface for the activity status feature
When iOS 16 was released, the Activity Status feature only worked with Apple apps. Now it's not only available to Apple apps, but any third-party developer can integrate it into their apps using the new ActivityKit library. Examples of activities you can track include Uber or Lyft delivery, UPS or FedEx package delivery, GrubHub or DoorDash food delivery, Starbucks or Target pickup, Workout with Nike or Health, and My Prayer is the first prayer app to support these feature.
Download in-app content before playing it for the first time
There's a new option in Settings -> App Store for "In-App Content", which will automatically run apps in the background to download content before they run for the first time when enabled.
You will notice the change mostly in games and apps that need to use a lot of device resources to function properly.
It is unclear whether the feature applies only during the initial installation of the app or if new in-app content can also be installed in the background after installing an app update manually or automatically.
Sign up for Fitness+ without an Apple Watch
Before the iOS 16.1 update, you had to have an Apple Watch to subscribe to Fitness + in the Fitness app. Now, you don't need to, but you will lose all the health and fitness metrics displayed on your Apple Watch during your workout. And if you don't care about this data and just want to keep track of your workout session, Fitness+ is now a viable option.
New shortcut actions
iOS 16.0 added nearly 60 new actions in the Shortcuts app, and iOS 16.1 brings more of them. The first is "Get Current Focus" for the settings, which restores the currently active focus.
The second is the “Search in Shortcuts” for the Shortcuts app, which opens the Shortcuts app and performs a search for the selected text.
The third is “Open Smart List,” which opens a smart list defined in Reminders.
Better Categories for Shortened Avatars
On iOS 16.0.3 and earlier, when you choose a shortcut icon, the icon picker sorts all avatars by objects, people, and icons, and that's it. Like this one below, and with these few combinations, it's best to just use the search tool.
While in the iOS 16.1 update, there are now categories for Accessibility, Arrows, Auto, Camera & Photo, Commerce, Communications, Connection, Devices, Editing, Fitness, Games, Health, Home, Human, Pointers, Keyboard, Math, Media, Nature, And objects, objects and tools, people, privacy and security, shapes, icons, text formatting, time, transportation, and weather, not necessarily in that order. See the picture below.
Lock screen or customize home screen
When you tap the Personalize interface on the lock screen, there is now an option to choose between customizing either the lock screen or the home screen, rather than just the lock screen. This makes it easy to customize the look of your iPhone from one place without having to go through multiple steps.

Back pressure to take screenshot Restarted after last update
I mean, do you recommend that we talk or not?
Every update has new features
Only the airdrop is not developing
It is reasonable that the device remains disabled on the sending screen in order to transfer the file, or the transmission fails when leaving the page or dimming the screen
Back Tap
👍
May Allah reward you
I don't see the option to clean energy
Thanks for this article
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Clean Energy Charging. I don't have this option despite the new update
It is in the battery health settings, which shows the percentage of battery efficiency, and it appears for some countries only.
Minus one thing in the upcoming updates, and Apple has ceased and died, which is the feature of the clipboard or the Clipboard, and Apple is walking properly
شكرا
Thanks for the great article 🌹
Since update 16 when I use Siri to make a call it says the name of the party I called. I want a way to prevent the name of the entity from being pronounced. (Here I am the caller) I do not mean at all the feature of blocking the name of the caller. Here I am the caller and Siri pronounces the name of the recipient of the call. I want to block this sound. Please help
In the Safari application, when I take a screenshot, the (full screen) option disappeared, did this happen to everyone ❓
A feature so far, unfortunately, that Apple has not provided, which is (pause video recording and complete recording).
Instead, you stop the recording completely 🤷🏻 ♂️
The truth is that it is really a great update, especially that it fixed a lot of problems such as the condition of the battery has become much better and also the high temperature of the battery has completely disappeared and I am very enjoying the feature of live activities really rrrr awesome Thank you for Apple
The live activities feature does not work with the only prayer app
The Live Activities feature does not work for the Only My Prayers app
Since the day I downloaded ios16 and I feel that my device has Cydia tools, but these tools are made by me by myself so that there is no save mode 🤣 Bye bye Jailbreak Bye Bye Cydia Bye Bye tweaks 😅
It is true that there is no longer a desire for Cydia, for the first time we do not feel nostalgic for the past
The rest of the simple things in the system and it becomes the best system in the world 😍 For example, making the widget in the main screen interactive as well as developing the backward keyboard on the iPhone as well as developing Siri in Arabic to be closer to the voice of humans instead of the current nonsense and how many other simple things only 🥹 We are not greedy people We are satisfied with a little
And here I forgot a very important thing 🙄 The possibility of adding location services to the control center instead of the long journey that is currently in place to operate it 🤢
I don't have this clean charging option
I'm missing Dettol 😂
The program "To My Prayers" with the update IOS 16.1 has become more enjoyable and useful through the interactive island
Thank you very much iPhone Islam for always providing us with what is useful and up-to-date.
Thank you iPhone Islam
I have an iPhone 14 Pro Max and I updated to version 16.1 and I didn't get the improved battery option How is this!!!!!
It appears in all countries
Direct activities! An important feature of delivery applications in general without entering an application!
