This story is part of WWDC 2022<\/span>, CNET’s complete coverage from and about Apple’s annual developers conference. <\/p>\n

iOS 16, the next major version of iPhone software, made its debut at WWDC 2022<\/span>, Apple’s annual developer conference. There are actually quite a bit of new features, big, small and in-between. iOS 16 adds new ways to communicate like being able to edit messages you already sent in the Messages app<\/span>, new tools to personalize your iPhone like the ability to customize the way your lock screen looks<\/span> and new privacy features for those in abusive relationships<\/span>. All these add up to an iOS that feels fresh and contemporary. iOS 16 will likely be released this September alongside the heavily rumored iPhone 14<\/span>\u00a0and will be available for the iPhone 8 and later<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Apple’s announcement for iOS 16 took place outdoors on the lawn at Apple Park, the company’s headquarters in Cupertino, California. The iOS 16 preview comes on the heels of the release of iOS 15.5<\/span>, which included updates to Apple Cash, Photos Memories and the Podcasts app. Apple also recently launched a developer beta for iOS 15.6, which at this time lacks any major new features and seems mainly aimed at fixing bugs.<\/p>\n

iOS 16 lets you edit and ‘unsend’ messages<\/h2>\n

“Embarrassing typos are a thing of the past,” said Apple SVP of Software Engineering Craig Federighi as he introduced three of the most requested features for the Messages app.<\/p>\n

First, in iOS 16 you’ll be able to edit sent messages<\/span>. So if you notice a typo after a message, you’ll be able to edit the message after the fact. A tiny “edited” appears in the status under the message.<\/p>\n

In Messages, you can edit previously sent messages.<\/p>\n

Next — and this might be my favorite new feature — you can immediately recall a sent message. If you accidentally sent an unfinished message, you can use the undo send tool to prevent it from being read and look less chaotic to your friends and family.<\/p>\n

Lastly, you can mark messages and threads as unread. This is an excellent tool for when you don’t have time to respond to a message in the moment, but want to make sure you come back to it later.<\/p>\n

Your iPhone gets a new customizable lock screen<\/h2>\n

One of the things you look at the most on your iPhone is the lock screen, especially if you have a Face ID-equipped iPhone. iOS 16 is the most substantial update to the iPhone’s lock screen yet<\/span>. Press and hold to edit your lock screen: An editor lets you swipe to try out different styles, of which there are several. Each style changes the color filter, the background and the font to complement each other.<\/p>\n

You can also customize the fonts for the time and date to your liking. You can also add lock screen widgets like temperature, activity rings and a calendar widget. The widgets are akin to complications on the Apple Watch lock screen.\u00a0<\/p>\n
