this video is brought to you by
Squarespace the all-in-one platform to
build a beautiful online presence and
run your business as I make this video
the latest new iOS iOS 16 launched just
a few days ago if you're a tech nerd
like me this is an exciting time for
everyone else new iOS updates are
typically either boring or overwhelming
your phone can now do a lot of new
things but if you're not the kind of
person to go off exploring on your
device you've probably got absolutely no
idea about just what your phone can now
do so in this video I'm going to share
with you 10 new things that your iPhone
can do thanks to iOS 16. stick with me
until the end of this video there are
some really exciting new features to
unpack
oh one thing to point out some of the
new features will only work on an iPhone
10s 10s Max 10r on newer phones and
rather than say that every time what
I'll do instead is put a caption on
screen like this whenever I'm talking
about an impacted feature okay let's get
into it you can now lift a subject from
a photo isolating something from an
image and you can then copy that image
and paste it elsewhere or share it via a
number of methods and it's very easy to
do so here for example in this image I'm
going to tap and hold on the subject
until I see this kind of scan animation
wash over the item that I want to
capture I'll let go at that point and my
phone will then give me some options for
what to do with the image that I've just
cut out either to share it or to copy it
if I choose share you can see that the
cutout is a PNG file and whilst it might
not be obvious to you I can confirm that
the PNG has a transparent background so
if you work with Graphics where you need
to cut things from images and paste them
elsewhere this could be a super
productivity hack for you
can share the image via the usual
sharing methods like messages email
WhatsApp Etc
you can also do things like create a
quick note with it and if you've got any
applicable third-party apps installed
you can share it with those too
the other alternative is to copy the
image and then open up something else
maybe an email or a message or perhaps
even something like Pages or Keynotes
and you can then paste it right in
thanks to Universal clipboard you can
even copy on your iPhone and then paste
the image on your Mac or iPad it's not
Flawless and it works better with very
clear images where there's an obvious
distinction between the subject and the
background but it does work pretty well
overall
in iOS 16 once you've sent a message to
someone provided they are also using an
iPhone and provided their iPhone has
been updated to iOS 16 or above you can
edit the message once sent tap and hold
on the message to bring up the
contextual menu then choose edit and you
can edit the text as if you were editing
it prior to sending it tap the little
blue tick icon to confirm the change at
the recipient's end they will receive a
notification letting them know that the
message has been edited and it will show
with an edit button if the user Taps on
that edit button they can view the
previously edited messages shown in a
slightly greater color note that there
is a 15 minute time limit on this from
the moment that you hit send
before we go any further I want to take
a moment to talk about the sponsor of
today's video Squarespace maybe you've
started your own business or side hustle
or maybe you're working on that passion
project you always wanted to get started
on either way you're going to want a
digital presence and a website is still
the first step in building out your
brand online Squarespace makes the whole
process of building a website easy but
what I really appreciate is how many
Fantastic custom templates they offer
getting started is always the hardest
part of any new project and Squarespace
have so many custom templates to cover
pretty much any type of website you can
think of from gaming and fashion to
politics food and photography they even
have templates for personal and CV
websites I was able to find a template
for my proper honest Tech website in a
matter of minutes and customizing the
template to really make it your own is a
piece of cake check out squarespace.com
for a free trial and when you're ready
to launch go to squarespace.com proper
honors Tech to save 10 off your first
purchase of a website support domain or
use the code proper honest Tech
when I made a video about Maps earlier
this year the number one comment without
a shadow of a doubt was that people
wanted to be able to add stops along
their planned routes well in iOS 16 now
you can now when you create a route
using the normal method you can see that
you have an additional option called add
stop if you tap there you can then
search for somewhere you'd like to stop
at another address maybe a food location
or a store whatever you need you can
then drag the individual items around to
create your route in the order you want
to travel and you can add multiple stops
giving you a really accurate idea of how
long an overall journey is going to take
not taking the time you spend at each
stop into consideration of course Maps
allows you to add up to 15 stops along
your route this definitely works for car
Journeys although I believe it should
also work for public transport where
that option is available
I've mentioned visual lookup in a
previous video the feature where you can
use your iPhone to identify things like
plants pets or landmarks and give you
more information about them that
functionality has now been expanded out
to cover birds insects spiders and
statues in your photos just as a
reminder to do this find a photo where
you see this little eye icon with a
sparkle next to it down at the bottom of
the screen tap on that and here you'll
see the lookup information for whatever
your phone believes is in the photo tap
here to find out more including Siri
knowledge and images from the web
you can finally take quick notes on your
iPhone in iOS 16. the quick notes
function has been around on Mac and iPad
for a while now whereby at any time
pretty much anywhere on either of those
devices you can swipe to create a quick
note and Link it to whatever you're
working on at the time these notes go
into a dedicated quick notes Pile in
notes which you can then sort and finish
later on but until now you've not been
able to create them on your iPhone only
View and edit them which has always been
a bit odd to me so let's say I'm
browsing the web using Safari and I want
to make a note of this page tap the
share button down at the bottom like you
usually would but then scroll down a
little and you'll now see add to quick
note tap on that and a link to the page
is created in a brand new quick note you
can then begin typing in anything that
you want to add and then save it and
this notes will appear in the same quick
notes part of your notes app on Mac and
iPad if you use either of those
definitely a minor update in amongst
some of these major changes but I'm
including it anyway as I reckon this is
going to be really useful for a lot of
people you can of course allow access to
your Wi-Fi with another iPhone owner by
accepting the request that will appear
on your screen when someone tries to
join your network but there are going to
be times where you're going to want to
view perhaps even copy your Wi-Fi
password and you can now do that in iOS
16. head to settings then Wi-Fi then tap
on the info button next to your Wi-Fi
network now in password if you tap there
you can use your phone's Biometrics or
password to view the Wi-Fi password and
you can tap on the copy button to of
course copy it to your clipboard and
once there you can do with it whatever
you like
if you're enjoying the content here why
not consider signing up to my newsletter
the proper weekly I include some tech
news from the week a behind the scenes
of what's Happening Here on the channel
as well as a short guide for a product
in the Apple ecosystem I send the
newsletter out each Friday it's free to
sign up and the link is in the
description of this video
in iOS 16 you can schedule an email to
be sent later rather than having to send
it right away which is a great little
addition to a mail app which let's face
it has been a bit underwhelming in
recent years so I've got this email
written to send it you would of course
tap the send button but instead I'm
going to press and hold the send button
to bring up some options you've got send
now up at the top then send later down
at the bottom and depending on the time
of day when you do this you'll get
different options in between things like
send at 9pm tonight that kind of thing
if you tap on send later you can be
really specific about when you'd like
the email to go choosing a date and time
in the future notice up at the top that
your phone explains that your device
must be online at the same time in order
for this to work this would mean that
you couldn't set this up before boarding
a flight for example or shutting your
phone down you would need to ensure that
your phone is powered on and connected
to the internet at the desired sending
time for this to work but I can think of
plenty of situations we're being able to
draft an email right away but not have
it send immediately would be pretty
useful once you choose a time in the
future your email mailboxes will show a
send later section and if you tap into
that then tap into the email you can
either edit the sending date and time
cancel sending it later or delete the
email entirely
purchase things using Apple pay you can
now track your orders directly from
within the wallet app within the wallet
app you now have this little package
icon up at the top right of the screen
and if you tap on that you can then view
order information and track the order
for whatever you've purchased if you tap
into the order itself you can view the
order number and tapping on that will
take you to the store's website and
enter the order itself you can view the
total cost of the order and down at the
bottom there's a handy little send email
button which is great if you realize you
need to get in touch with the seller it
saves you having to root around the
website looking for a way to contact
them
you tap the Ellipsis up at the top you
can mark the order as complete pause any
updates for it and mute notifications
about it as well as deleting the order
just a reminder this will only work if
you pay using Apple pay and I believe
that the retailer has to enable it at
their end but more and more companies
are now offering it so there's an
increasing chance that you'll be able to
make use of this in the near future
this feature is currently only available
in London here in the UK or the San
Francisco Bay Area San Diego and New
York in the US but I'm mentioning it
because it's a nice feature and will be
coming to other cities very soon if you
plan a trip in Maps using public
transport in any of the previously
mentioned cities Maps will not only show
your route it will also show you the
cost of that trip you can see the cost
information just here
you can kind of recall emails now in iOS
16. so the way this works is let's say
you hit send on an email and you
immediately have that feeling of dread
when you realize that you shouldn't have
sent it maybe it's gone to the wrong
person contains something it shouldn't
whatever provided you realize that
within 10 seconds of hitting send you're
in luck look to the bottom of the screen
when I hit send on this email you now
get an undo send button tap that and
you're returned back to the email edit
screen no email has been sent and you
can do whatever you need to do to keep
you out of whatever trouble you might
have been in if you'd sent the email
now the reason why I say that this is
kind of a recall is because I don't
think that's what's actually happening
here I think Apple have written a 10
second delay into the software kind of
an are you sure you want to send this
function do nothing and in 10 seconds
your email is sent hit the undo button
and you're back where you started it's a
cool feature In fairness and there have
definitely been times recently where I
would have loved to have had this
feature available to me so nice one
apple I feel like I ought to mention
this the lock screen has without a doubt
seen the most significant changes in iOS
16 with huge updates to how the lock
screen both looks and functions so much
so in fact that I've already created a
dedicated video talking all about it
I'll link to that video in the
description of this one and if you
haven't already I would definitely
recommend that you check that one out
next
so there you go 10 great new features
available to you on your iPhone as part
