Avatar photo by Shawn Gant | March 28, 2023

Apple recently released iOS 16.4 with a string of features and updates, including new emojis, web push notifications, and voice isolation to eligible iPhone devices, bringing an enhanced user experience to Apple fanatics.

Apple users worldwide with compatible devices can now download and install the newest update from Apple to not only enjoy the new features but also fix the bugs in previous software releases by Apple.

iOS 16.4 Features

Here are some of the features of the newly-released iOS update from Apple:

New Emojis

Skin tone variations for some existing emojis were added, as well 21 brand-new emojis. New emojis include a shaking face, jellyfish, and a goose. These new emojis are designed to be more inclusive and diverse and better represent the people and situations they depict. This further emphasizes Appleโ€™s mission to champion complexity and inclusivity to the platform in expressing new emotions when communicating via text or chat. 

Web Push Notifications

The update of web push notifications provides a hassle-free experience to check notifications. It allows users to receive alerts from their favorite websites, even without browsing. Users can be notified of the latest news, weather, and other important information without constantly checking their favorite websites.

Voice Isolation

Another feature in this latest update of the iOS is voice isolation which allows users to enjoy clearer and more focused conversations during phone calls. Apple uses advanced algorithms to reduce background noises, providing clearer, easier-to-hear phone calls. Users will have the option to turn it off or on during a call. 

Voice isolation benefits users who have difficulty hearing or understanding in noisy environments. This is also useful for professionals in a meeting or interview in such a noisy environment. What this feature does is that it filters the noises in the background, like unnecessary chatter from a distance.

Is iOS 16.4 Compatible With Your Phone?

iOS 16.4  works with iPhone 8 and newer models. Users can also revert to the previous iOS version if they experience issues or are unsatisfied with the latest update. 

Remember that reverting to the old version might result in data loss. A data backup before attempting to revert to a previous version is a great way to prevent and protect your device from the risk of loss or damage.

How to Download and Install iOS 16.4?

To download and install iOS 16.4, you should confirm if your Apple device is compatible. If yes,  go to your iPhone and tap Settings > General > Software Update to begin the download process. After downloading, the device will automatically install it.

Ensure your Apple device has a sufficient battery percentage of at least 90% and a stable internet connection to enable faster and uninterrupted downloads. Typically, downloading and installing an iOS update will take around 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on your internet connection speed.

Developer Information and Changes

The release of iOS 16.4 includes not only updates for the users but also for developers. One of the improvements laid down by the update is the improved developer platform and newly added APIs. This includes Xcode 14.5, the latest version of Appleโ€™s integrated development environment (IDE) for building iOS apps. The support for the latest iOS SDKs and improved debugging tools is among those bundled in the latest update.

Are You Excited About iOS 16.4?

As Apple continues to push forward with its latest updates, iOS 16.4 brings many exciting new features and improvements for its users. From introducing new emojis and web push notifications to bringing a voice isolation feature in cellular calls, Apple is dedicated to enhancing the user experience for its customers worldwide.

Many users can take advantage of the latest features and updates with ease. As Apple developers continue improving their software, itโ€™s exciting to see what new features and improvements are in store for future iOS updates.
