iOS 16.1 beta 5 available ahead of public release: Top features coming in the next update – Times of India

Apple iOS 16.1 has been under development for quite some time now and the beta 5 of the upcoming software update is now official. The iOS 16 stable update promises to bring a string of updates, such as new battery icon, clean energy charging, and volume swipe toggle for AirPods Pro 2, among others. As per Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iOS 16.1 will be released for iPhones later this month. Here, we list a few features that the update will bring.

iOS 16.1 features

  • New battery icon: iOS 16.1 will bring a new and dynamic battery icon that will show battery percentage on iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini. The new feature will improve the readability of the battery percentage.
  • Clean Energy Charging: This feature will be enabled by default and the phone will only be charged when the power grid is using more sustainable sources of energy. The feature will help Apple to reach its aim to reduce the carbon footprint of iPhones.
  • Live activities: Live Activities will display real-time information in the form of notification on Lock Screen from apps that are working in the background. The feature also supports animations.
  • Disabling Volume Swipe on AirPods Pro 2: If you are one of those who are clumsy in handling their AirPods Pro 2 and unintentionally swipe on the TWS earphones that alters the volume, this feature is for you. You will be able to disable swipe gestures on your earphones via a toggle on your phone.
  • Apple Wallet app can be deleted: iOS 16.1 will let users delete the Wallet app if they don’t need it. It should be noted that post deletion of the app you won’t be able to use Apple Pay, Apple Cash, and Apple Card.
  • iCloud Shared Photo Library: If you live in a family and take a lot of photos from your iPhones, iCloud Shared Photo Library is probably the one you need to share all your photos in one place. It allows up to six users to collaborate and contribute what they have shot from their phones.
