Apple has released a stable version of iOS 16.1: here's what's new

After months of testing, Apple has released a stable version of iOS 16.1 for iPhone users.

Here's What's New About It

The new version of the system has received many small but useful changes. For example, iCloud Shared Photo Library feature was added to the firmware. It simplifies the process of sending photos to loved ones. Moreover, Live Activities widgets appeared in iOS 16.1 for the lock screen. They can display information from third-party apps in real time. For example, the score in a soccer game, food delivery time, etc. By the way, for iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max owners, Live Activities will work with Dynamic Island. Also, iPhone owners got the Fitness+ service, which now works without the Apple Watch, an improved Wallet app, and support for the unified Matter protocol for smart home devices.

When We Can Expect It

iOS 16.1 weighs over 1GB and has already started rolling it out in waves to all supported iPhone models.
