While many are excited about iPhone 14, if you aren\u2019t ready to make a move yet, you can still enjoy all the improvements and <strong>new features of iOS 16<\/strong> on your iPhone 8 or newer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>When can you get your hands on the latest iPhone?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apple is hosting a <strong>launch event on September 7<\/strong>, 2022, to release the newest iPhone, iPhone 14. Pre-orders for the new Apple smartphone should become available from September 9. With the release date of the new device looming, iOS 16 is also in its final beta stages, and it\u2019s expected to become available to the <strong>public from about September 12<\/strong>, 2022. However, an official release date will be given at the launch event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"815\" height=\"501\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-1.jpg\" alt=\"Top 6 best features of iOS 16 for iPhone 14\" class=\"wp-image-202984\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-1.jpg 815w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-1-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-1-768x472.jpg 768w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-1-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-1-150x92.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 815px) 100vw, 815px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What iPhones will get iOS 16?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re eager to get the new OS but not quite ready to shell out the hefty price for the newest iPhone, you may be in luck. iOS 16 will be available on a <strong>few older models<\/strong> as well. All iPhones newer than version 8 will be able to download iOS 16.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Improvements you can expect with iOS 16<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the new operating system brings quite a <strong>few new features<\/strong> that we\u2019re excited about, they\u2019ve also made quite a few changes to existing features. Here are a few existing features that will be receiving some significant updates:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Wallet and Apple Pay Later &#8211; ID cards from more states have been added, and Apple Pay includes more payment methods and more.<\/li><li>Visual Look Up &#8211; Many improvements, including a simple way to select an object in the image and remove the background.<\/li><li>SharePlay &#8211; The app will now also work within messages.<\/li><li>Focus Mode &#8211; Can now be set on widgets and introduces many new focus filters.<\/li><li>Car Play &#8211; Now features different display shapes to use in any car. It also aims to replace important displays like speed, engine temperature, revs, etc.<\/li><li>Maps &#8211; Improving 3D maps and adding more cities.<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/ios-16.en.softonic.com\/articles\/first-view-use-ios-16-home-app\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Home App<\/a> &#8211; Improved functionality and reliability<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>6 best new features of iOS 16 for iPhone 14<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Let\u2019s take a look at some of the top new features of iOS 16:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Edit and unsend messages<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The<a href=\"https:\/\/ios-16.en.softonic.com\/articles\/imessage-reduces-unsend-time-limit\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> iMessaging app<\/a> is receiving a few useful new features. The first is the ability to <strong>edit your message<\/strong> after it\u2019s been sent. Now you can easily edit your message to correct those mistakes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"230\" height=\"351\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-2.jpg\" alt=\"Top 6 best features of iOS 16 for iPhone 14\" class=\"wp-image-202985\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-2.jpg 230w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-2-197x300.jpg 197w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-2-8x12.jpg 8w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-2-150x229.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another useful feature is the ability to <strong>recall a sent message<\/strong>. If you\u2019ve sent the message to the wrong person or with the wrong information, you can quickly recall the message before they see it.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, you\u2019ll also be able to mark messages as read or unread. This is particularly useful if you\u2019ve read a message but don\u2019t have time to respond and don\u2019t want to forget about it. These may seem like basic features, but they significantly impact how you experience and use the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Customizable lock screens<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since the announcement of iOS 16, customizable screens have been one of the most popular new features. iOS 16 features the biggest update to <strong>customizable lock screens<\/strong> yet. You can scroll through many styles, fonts, and widgets. Depending on your needs, you can also set multiple lock screens, each with its widgets. A photo shuffle option allows you to add rotating images to your lock screen for a personalized effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"632\" height=\"312\" src=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/sft\/articles\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-3.jpg\" alt=\"Top 6 best features of iOS 16 for iPhone 14\" class=\"wp-image-202986\" srcset=\"https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-3.jpg 632w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-3-300x148.jpg 300w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-3-18x9.jpg 18w, https:\/\/articles-img.sftcdn.net\/auto-mapping-folder\/sites\/3\/2022\/09\/Top-6-best-features-of-iOS-16-for-iPhone-14-3-150x74.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 632px) 100vw, 632px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Better looking notifications and live activities<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">iOS 16 changes <strong>how notifications are displayed<\/strong>.
