Apple releases iOS 16/iPadOS 16 developer beta 6

Today, Apple released the sixth developer beta version of iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, with the internal version number 20A5349b, one week after the last beta version. At the same time, Apple also released the sixth beta version of tvOS 16 and watchOS 9. The official versions of iOS 16, watchOS 9 and tvOS 16 will be launched next month, while iPadOS 16 may be delayed until October this year.

Apple has launched a new lock screen design in iOS 16, which allows users to personalize widgets, notification designs, fonts and colors according to their preferences. In addition, iOS 16 also supports multiple lock screens, giving users a higher degree of freedom of use.

Focus mode is now easier to adjust, and users can delete content they don’t like directly in the app. With the Messages app, you can now edit or recall sent content, and mark messages as unread. Additionally, it supports SharePlay functionality, similar to FaceTime.

The Mail app has been improved, especially in the search tool. Additionally, it adds new features such as recalling emails and setting reminders. Now, users can more easily search and find specific messages. If users don't receive a reply, they can set a reminder to check their email. These improvements make the mail application more efficient and user-friendly.

In addition, Apple is also actively developing Passkeys, a more secure biometric method designed to replace the traditional password login method. By using Passkeys, users can verify their identity using fingerprints, facial recognition or other biometrics, increasing the security of their accounts. The introduction of this innovative technology will bring users a more convenient and secure login experience.

iCloud Photo Library helps users easily share photos with other family members, and also supports real-time text/subtitles display in videos. Additionally, it has an interesting new feature where you can extract the subject from the background (with the help of Visual Lookup).

In addition, the dictation function has also been improved in other aspects. At the same time, the map function now also supports multi-stop route planning, allowing users to plan travel routes more conveniently. In addition, Apple has also launched an installment payment service called Apple Pay Later, allowing users to spend more flexibly. The Family App has also been comprehensively upgraded, with a new interface and functions, providing family members with a better collaboration and communication experience.

On iPadOS, Apple has added a new feature called Stage Manager, which can bring Mac-like multitasking to the M1 iPad. This feature allows users to open multiple apps simultaneously and manage them in split-screen or slideshow view. While this feature is only available on the M1 iPad, it’s certainly a useful feature for those who need to multitask. Whether multitasking or browsing multiple applications simultaneously, Stage Manager provides users with a more efficient workflow.

The iOS 16 Beta5 release brings some exciting new features to iPhone.

Apple will officially release iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 in September, bringing many new features. At the same time, Apple will continue to release new beta versions for public experience. However, iPadOS 16 may be released slightly later than iOS 16.
