Apple on Monday released iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4, the fourth major updates to the iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 operating systems. The new version comes two months after the public release of iOS 16.3 and iPadOS 16.3.
iOS 16.4 can be downloaded on compatible iPhones over the air by going to “Settings” -> “General” -> “Software Update.” You may want to wait a day or so to download the new update, as things could be slow, due to high demand.
Apple’s full release notes are as follows:
This update includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:
– 21 new emoji including animals, hand gestures, and objects are now available in emoji keyboard
– Notifications for web apps added to the Home Screen
– Voice Isolation for cellular calls prioritizes your voice and blocks out ambient noise around you
– Duplicates album in Photos expands support to detect duplicate photos and videos in an iCloud Shared Photo Library
– VoiceOver support for maps in the Weather app
– Accessibility setting to automatically dim video when flashes of light or strobe effects are detected
– Fixes an issue where Ask to Buy requests from children may fail to appear on the parent’s device
– Addresses issues where Matter-compatible thermostats could become unresponsive when paired to Apple Home
– Crash Detection optimizations on iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Pro models
This is likely one of the last updates we’ll see to both iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, as Apple is expected to unveil iOS 17 and iPadOS 17 at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June.
