Apple is currently testing iOS 16.4 in beta, which includes a number of new features and changes for iPhone users. Below, we summarize all of these new features and speculate on when iOS 16.4 will be released to everyone.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the most popular new features in iOS 16.4 is the introduction of new emoji. These new emoji are part of the Unicode standard for Emoji Update 15.0, which was announced in July 2022. The new emoji include a shaking face, a goose, a hyacinth, and a simple pink heart. The new emoji are also included in the current beta versions of macOS 13.3, watchOS 9.4, and iPadOS 16.4. Users using older versions of these operating systems will not be able to see the new emoji, even if someone who has already updated sends them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes in the beta testing process<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

With iOS 16.4, Apple is restricting the sharing of iOS beta profiles. In the past, anyone could download the latest iOS betas by installing the beta "profile" on their device. This mainly meant that you could install the developer beta version of iOS without a developer account. With iOS 16.4, however, beta registration will be tied to a developer's Apple ID and accessible directly from the Settings app. Apple explains:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

Starting with iOS & iPadOS 16.4 beta, there will be a new option for Apple Developer Program members to enable developer betas directly through Software Update in Settings.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

This new option will be enabled automatically on devices that are already enrolled in the program and update to the latest beta version. For this option to appear in Settings, the iPhone or iPad must be signed in with the same Apple ID used to sign in to the Apple Developer Program. In future versions of iOS and iPadOS, developer betas will be enabled through this new setting and configuration profiles will no longer provide access.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New features for Safari and third-party browsers<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As described on the WebKit blog, iOS 16.4 gives web apps on the home screen access to push notifications for the first time using the standard HTML5 Web Push API, including badges. Previously, access to the Apple Push Notification Service was only available to App Store apps. Additionally, third-party browsers can now display an interface that allows users to add a website to their home screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Apple Books Animation is back<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In iOS 16.4, the Apple Books app has regained its iconic page-turning animation. This animation was removed when Apple redesigned the Books app with the first release of iOS 16.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Changes to Apple Podcasts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Apple Podcasts has library changes, Up Next improvements, and new CarPlay updates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
