The US media MacRumors has summarized the new features and changes confirmed in iOS16 Beta 5 released for developers.
The official version is expected to be released in September
Apple released iOS16 Beta 5 for developers on August 8, local time. Beta 5 includes the following new features and changes:
In addition, Apple has announced that the official version of iOS16 for general users will be released this fall, and September, which coincides with the announcement of iPhone14, is likely.
Battery level display on status bar
When the battery level display is turned on in the “Settings” app, the remaining battery level is now displayed as a number in the status bar.
It has been confirmed that the color of the icon changes as the battery level decreases.
This function is not supported by some iPhones with Face ID, such as iPhone12 mini and iPhone13 mini.
“Find” sound change
In iOS16 Beta 5, the sound that can be played by “Play Sound” from the “Search” app has been changed. MacRumors evaluates the new sound as ‘slightly louder and easier to hear than the previous sound.’
Change the sound that rings the iPhone from the Apple Watch
The sound when ringing the iPhone from the Apple Watch Control Center has also been changed, as with the Find My app.
Now playing visualizer on lock screen
In iOS16 Beta 5, a visualizer that moves according to the actual sound is displayed in the upper right of the player displayed on the lock screen.
In addition, in iOS16 Beta 3, it was possible to display the album artwork large even on the lock screen.
Beta 5 adds a mini visualiser to the Lock Screen Now Playing UI. Unlike the actual Music app which uses canned visualiser animations as indicators, this one is live and responds to the currently playing frequencies.pic.twitter.com/TQqmKgnJpK

Removal of “parallax effect” from wallpaper
In iOS16 Beta 5, the “Perspective” option has been removed from the wallpaper setting screen. Given that this feature has been around for some time, it’s possible that it will return in a future version.
“Music” app
In the “Music” app, the position of the Dolby Atmos and lossless icons displayed in the song information has been changed from below the “Play” and “Shuffle” buttons to next to the genre.

“Copy and Delete” has been added to the menu when you tap “Done” after taking a screenshot.
You can save the trouble of deleting the screenshot after pasting it in a message etc.
“Emergency SOS” becomes “Emergency call”
The name has been changed from the conventional “Emergency SOS” to “Emergency call” on the emergency screen that appears when you press the iPhone button again.
