Now that iOS 16 is available for the masses, we decided to take some time and round up some of the best tips and tricks for you to take full advantage of what Apple’s latest software has to offer. This list is rather long, as we try to cover as many iOS 16 tips and tricks as are currently available. If there’s something important that we missed, don’t hesitate to let us know!

iOS 16 Tips and Tricks: Lock Screen

It seems that Apple is finally letting down the walled garden a bit for iPhone users. At least when it comes to customization, as iOS 16 introduces a completely overhauled Lock Screen experience. Because there are so many different options and steps to take when customizing your lock screen, here are some of the articles that you should check out, starting with the first one:

Change Notifications View

Notifications themselves have also been revamped with iOS 16. Instead of going for an all-or-nothing approach, you can actually (and finally) hide notifications on iPhone Lock Screen in iOS 16. It’s a bit different than the granular notification settings that we can already tweak. So let’s dive a bit further into how to hide those non-stop notifications from appearing.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Notifications.
3. At the top of the page, tap Display As.
4. Select one of the following:

Unsend Text Messages

Compared to the other features coming to iOS 16 later this year, it may not really seem like Messages and iMessage got much attention. But that couldn’t be further from the truth as you can unsend messages. This has been a long-requested feature for Apple’s Messages app, and it’s actually surprising to see it arrive.

1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone.
2. Select the conversation from the list on the main screen.
3. Locate the message that you want to unsend.
4. Long-press on the message.

Mark Messages as Unread

One useful feature coming to Messages with iOS 16 is the ability to mark messages as unread on iPhone. And the best part about it is that there aren’t any weird hoops that you need to jump through. Here’s how you can mark messages as unread on iPhone with iOS 16:

1. Open the Messages app on your iPhone running iOS 16.
2. Locate the message thread that you want to mark as unread.
3. Slide from left to right across the message thread.
4. When the blue icon appears, tap the button.

Make Multiple Stops with Apple Maps

1. Open the Apple Maps app on your iPhone.

iOS 16 Tips and Tricks: Use Live Text in Videos

Live Text is a feature introduced last year that allows you to select text in images. That includes the viewfinder of your iPhone camera, any photo in the Photos app, and images online.

In iOS 16, Apple is expanding this feature to work in videos. This is impressive, though it works about the same as it did before. Just pause a video and start selecting text in the video.

iOS 16 Tips and Tricks: Apple Mail

Schedule Emails Using Apple Mail

Once you’ve downloaded iOS 16 on your iPhone, scheduling emails takes very little effort. After signing into the Mail app with your preferred email address, follow the instructions listed below.

2. Enter your email recipient and fill in the subject line, along with composing the message you wish to send.

4. Choose your preferred sending method. If you pick Send Later at the bottom, you can choose exactly when you want the message to go out. Hit Done when you’re finished.

Unsend Emails in Apple Mail

Just like with if you need to unsend texts in the Messages app, there’s a short time frame that you have before the email is sent anyways. But unlike unsending messages, you have about than 10 seconds to unsend email or you’ll have to deal with a potentially awkward situation. Here’s how to unsend email on iPhone:

1. Open the Mail app on your iPhone.

For those who want to use iCloud Shared Photo Library, there’s a bit of a setup process to follow in order to get everything working properly.

Copy and Paste Photo Edits

We’ve already covered the steps needed to take if you want to remove the background from pictures on your iPhone. However, did you know that iOS and iPadOS 16 also introduce the ability to copy and paste photo edits on iPhone and iPad? This is absolutely fantastic for those who want to make sure that their images are styled in a consistent manner, before sharing them with the rest of the world. Here’s how to copy and past photo edits on iPhone and iPad:

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Locate and open the first image that you want to edit.
3. In the top right corner, tap the Edit button.
4. Go through and make any of the edits to the image that you need to make. This includes the following options:
   • Auto
   • Exposure
   • Brilliance
   • Highlights
   • Shadows
   • Contrast
   • Brightness
   • Black Point
   • Saturation
   • Vibrance
   • Warmth
   • Tint
   • Sharpness
   • Definition
   • Noise Reduction
   • Vignette
5. Once the edits have been made, tap the three horizontal dots in a circle in the top right corner.

7. Tap the Done button in the bottom right corner.
8. Locate and select the image that you also want to edit.
9. Tap the three horizontal dots in a circle in the top right corner.
10. From the menu that appears, tap Paste Edits.
11. Once the edits have been applied, tap the Done button in the bottom right corner.
12. Repeat the process for any additional images that you wish to edit.

After just a moment, you’ll see your old image spring to life with all of the edits that you previously made. But what if you want to make edits to multiple photos at the same time? Well, it’s definitely possible, and here’s how:

1. Follow the steps above to edit the first image and copy those edits.
2. Go back to the main Photos app.
3. Locate the images that you wish to paste photo edits onto.
4. In the top right corner, tap Select.
5. Select the images that you want to edit.
6. Once selected, tap the three horizontal dots in a circle in the bottom right corner.
7. From the menu that appears, tap Paste Edits.
8. Wait until the progress dialog box disappears.

Merge Duplicate Photos

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. In the bottom toolbar, tap Albums.
   1. You might need to tap < Albums in the top left corner to go to the main screen.
3. Scroll down until you reach the Utilities section.
4. Tap Duplicates from the list of options.
5. Locate the images that you want to merge.
6. Tap the Merge button to the right of the images.
7. When prompted, tap Merge X Duplicates.

Lift A Subject Out of a Photo

As we mentioned, the process, if you wanted to remove background from pictures on iPhone, has not been very seamless. Apple’s implementation of this new “feature” has made it really easy to pull a subject out of a photo and place it in another app. Thanks to the Machine Learning prowess found in Apple’s processors, you can finally share funny pictures or create a work of art without jumping through a bunch of hoops.

1. Open the Photos app on your iPhone.
2. Locate and select the image that you want to remove the background from.
3. Long-press the subject of the photo.
4. Without removing your finger, open the app that you want to paste the subject into.
5. Let go of the subject to drop it into the app that you just opened.

There are a few things to be aware of when trying to go through this process. First, when you long-press the subject of a photo, there will be a subtle highlight animation that appears. This is done to let you know that the subject is being selected, and once that animation is complete, you can proceed with the rest of the steps listed above.

Additionally, you can’t exactly just copy the subject, open another app, and drop it in. Instead, you’ll need to either create a new note in the Notes app, compose an email in the Mail app, or make sure that the cursor is placed within the text input within the Messages app. Otherwise, you might end up needing to go through and repeat the steps listed above again in order to get everything working correctly.

13. Repeat the process if you want to add any other favorites to the Tab Group.

Pin Tabs in Safari

You might be wondering why you would want to pin Safari tabs on your iPhone and iPad. It makes a bit more sense when using the iPad, simply because you’re using a browser that is most similar to Safari on the Mac. But with the iPhone, the overall experience is a little bit different.

When you pin a tab in Safari, you’re actually pinning that website. Then, that tab will remain visible but just a bit smaller on the tab row of your browser window. Each time you close and reopen Safari, your pinned tab will be there, right where you left it, for quick access to the website.

1. Open the Safari app on your iPhone or iPad.
2. Navigate to the website that you want to pin.
3. Long-press the URL address bar at the bottom of the page.
4. Tap Pin Tab from the context menu that appears.

Transfer eSIM

You’ve also been able to transfer an eSIM between iPhones in the past, such as when you upgrade to a new version. But with iOS 16, Apple is making it possible to transfer an eSIM between iPhones using Bluetooth, as opposed to relying on Wi-Fi or other methods. Here’s how you can do so:

1. Open the Settings app on your new iPhone.
2. Tap Cellular.
3. Above the Cellular Data section, tap the Set Up eSIM button.
4. When prompted, tap the Transfer From Another iPhone button.

From there, you’ll be prompted to the next screen which provides the following message:

“To transfer a phone number from another iPhone, make sure your other iPhone is passcode protected, nearby, unlocked, has Bluetooth turned on, and is running iOS 16 or later.”

It’s pretty obvious from this message that Apple isn’t bringing Bluetooth transfer of eSIM to older versions of iOS.

Access Spotlight From Your Home Screen

While Spotlight has been available on the iPhone since 2009, it’s often forgotten as one of the staple features of your device. Some might not even know that this feature actually has a name, as it does so much more than just search for documents, apps, and other types of information that are stored on your iPhone.

With the update to iOS 16, Spotlight is getting even more love, as there’s an all-new icon that appears at the bottom of your Home Screen, above your Dock. Instead of just seeing a horizontal lineup of page indicators, you’ll instead see a “Search” icon.

In order to use Spotlight in iOS 16, all you’ll need to do is tap the icon, and you’ll be presented with a search panel. At the top, will be a list of “Siri Suggestions” with some of your most-used apps depending on the time of day or your location.

   • Messages – See only the messages you want to. For example, just see conversations with people you’ve allowed notifications from when you’re working.
   • Safari – Set a Tab Group to be used during this Focus.
   • Dark Mode – Turn On
   • Low Power Mode – Turn On

Enable Battery Percentage Indicator

With the release of iOS 16, Apple surprised everyone by re-introducing the ability to show your remaining battery percentage in the status bar. This was previously available before being removed with the iPhone X. However, despite being available for many devices, it wasn’t available for all iOS 16-compatible iPhone models. iOS 16.1 Beta 1 rectified this, even bringing it to the iPhone 12 mini and iPhone 13 mini.

Once the update comes to your iPhone, here’s how you can enable the Battery Percentage indicator.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Battery.
3. Tap the toggle next to Battery Percentage.

Merge Duplicate Contacts

Apple has finally introduced an easier method if you want to merge duplicate contacts on iPhone with iOS 16. Here’s how you can do so:

Use Your iPhone As a Webcam

Provided that your devices follow all of Apple’s requirements listed above, you can now use iPhone as webcam for Mac. By default, this feature is enabled, meaning that the next time you join a video call with your iPhone nearby, your Mac will automatically detect and use the iPhone as opposed to another webcam. However, in some cases, you might find that the feature is turned off, and here’s how you can enable Continuity Camera Webcam:

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Tap General.
3. Tap AirPlay & Handoff.
4. Next to Continuity Camera Webcam, tap the toggle to the On position.
5. Bring your iPhone close to your Mac.
6. Open any app that utilizes a camera, such as FaceTime, Zoom, or Google Meet. (This also works in a web browser).

With Continuity Camera Webcam enabled, all you should need to do at this point is make sure your iPhone and Mac are close together.

However, in the event that you either forgot to do so or just skipped past that part of the setup process, here’s how you can set up notifications for medications in the Apple Health app.

1. Open the Health app on your iPhone.
2. Tap Browse in the bottom toolbar.
3. Select Medications in the list of Health Categories.
4. Navigate to the Your Medications section.
5. Select the medication that you want to set up notifications for.
6. Scroll down to the Schedule section.
7. Tap Edit on the right side.
8. Under Time of Day, tap the + Add a time button.
9. Tap the Time next to the new notification.
10. Select a time that you want to be notified.
11. Tap Done in the top right corner.

Apple Watch Mirroring

With Apple Watch Mirroring, this is an expansion of AssistiveTouch that debuted with watchOS 8 and iOS 15. As the name suggests, users will be able to mirror the screen of their Apple Watch right from their iPhone. This will display what’s on your Apple Watch on the larger screen of the iPhone. But Apple is also making it possible to control different aspects of your Watch with this enabled. And here’s how you can enable it.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
2. Scroll down and tap Accessibility.
3. Under the Physical and Motor section, tap Apple Watch Mirroring.
4. Tap the toggle next to Apple Watch Mirroring to the On position.

After a few moments, a new screen will appear on your iPhone. You’ll also notice that the screen on your Apple Watch now shows a red outline around the entire display. The pop-up box on your iPhone will essentially be using AirPlay between your iPhone and Apple Watch providing you with an easier way to interact with your Watch.

What Are Your Favorites?

We can’t begin to describe how excited we are to see all of these changes and new features coming to iOS 16. Considering that iOS 16 is still in its early stages, we wouldn’t be surprised if some features are changed, added, or removed. But for the time being, iOS 16 looks to be one of the biggest updates for iPhone users probably since the addition of widgets.

Let us know what some of your favorite iOS 16 features are and what you’re looking forward to using the most!
