14 DAY TRIAL // Apple’s upcoming iOS 16 is going to be a major release for iPhones out there, and as it turns out, the company is planning to add even more features than it initially announced at WWDC earlier this year.
The most recent beta build, for example, includes a new “Copy and delete” option for screenshots, therefore making it easier for users to keep their photo gallery clean.
As someone who takes screenshots regularly, this new feature certainly comes in handy. Keeping useless screenshots away from the photo gallery is extremely important, as they could mix with the camera photos in the “all” view and make it much harder to find a specific image.
However, with the new option, users can copy the image and then have it deleted automatically. Given it’s copied to the clipboard, it can then be pasted into another app, such as a new mail or text message.
More iOS 16 features
As said, iOS 16 will come with lots of new features, including a redesign of the lock screen. Apple is bringing widgets similar to the Apple Watch complications to the lock screen.
“The Lock Screen gets more personal, beautiful, and helpful with iOS 16. With a new multilayered effect, the subjects of photos are artfully set in front of the time on the Lock Screen, creating a sense of depth. Users can also change the look of the date and time with expressive type styles and color choices. The Lock Screen features widgets that take inspiration from Apple Watch complications, making it easy to get information at a glance, such as upcoming calendar events, the weather, battery levels, alarms, time zones, Activity ring progress, and more,” Apple said.
While iOS 16 is currently in the beta stage, it should get the go-ahead for production devices at some point next month.
