IT House August 9 news, Apple today pushed the iOS / iPadOS 16 developer preview Beta 5 update (build number: 20A5339d) to iPhone and iPad users. This update is 12 days after the last release. This update brings some small but notable changes to the iOS operating system. (Clues come from MacRumors, 9to5 Mac, Apple Insider, IT House netizens, etc.)
Here are the updates:
The battery percentage in the Liu Haiping status bar
The battery icon in the status bar now shows the exact battery percentage, which can be turned on in the Battery section of the Settings app.
In this Beta 5 beta, the new battery percentage appears to support the iPhone 13, iPhone 13 Pro, iPhone 13 Pro Max, iPhone 12, iPhone 12 Pro, iPhone 12 Pro Max, iPhone 11 Pro, iPhone 11 Pro Max, iPhone Xs, iPhone Xs Max and iPhone X. 5.4-inch iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 12 mini and other older models are not supported.
iPhones with Notch screens have been unable to use the battery percentage for years due to space constraints, so this is a welcome change for many iPhone users. Before that, users had to see the exact battery percentage by going into the control center or using the battery widget. “After 5 years of disappearance, Apple’s iPhone status bar battery percentage is expected to return to the “bangs” home screen with the official version of iOS 16″
New “Find” sound effect
iPhone models play a new sound when the user uses the Play Sound option in the Find My app on one of the devices. It’s a bit louder and different than what the previous version of iOS 16 offered.
Here is the video demonstration:
New sounds for finding iPhone from Apple Watch
When users swipe up on their Apple Watch to enter Control Center, they will hear a new sound if they tap the iPhone icon to find their iPhone device to locate it. It’s the same sound as the new “Find”.
Music visualization playback graphics for the lock screen
iOS 16 Beta 3 added a full-screen music player, and Beta 5 introduced real-time mini-visualization graphics that change with audio playback.
This is combined with new button animations. They have new animations when the play/pause button or the forward and back buttons are clicked. The animation feels very polished and smooth, and provides great detail.
remove perspective zoom
The perspective zoom feature for lock screen wallpapers has been removed. The switch to disable it has also been removed.
It may be re-added in a future beta beta, and has been available on iPhones for some time.
Apple Music app
Apple has fine-tuned where it shows Dolby Atmos and a lossless indicator. The information now appears next to the genre instead of below the play and shuffle buttons.
Screenshots
When taking a screenshot, editing it, and hitting “Done,” a new option appears to “copy and delete” the screenshot, rather than just delete it. This allows users to copy the image to paste into any other app without first saving the image to the Photos app.
Emergency call
“Emergency SOS” has been renamed “Emergency Call” when you press and hold the side button or quickly press to enter the emergency screen.
Remove Siri Voice Shutdown
Apple has removed the Siri voice shutdown in the latest Beta 5. This feature appeared in Beta 4 before, and a pop-up window will prompt, “Confirm, do you want to turn off the power of this device?” The two buttons are “Cancel” on the left. and “Confirm” on the right, click the “Confirm” button or continue the voice operation to shut down. “After Apple’s iOS 16 Beta 5 update, iPhone cancels support for the new Siri voice shutdown”
Finally, Home, Photos, Maps, and Reminders all have new splash screens to advertise their new features.
Input
Fixed a situation where the third-party input method was delayed or stuck and returned to the built-in keyboard.
