The new iOS 16 also added features that promote an inclusive culture. It updated its m-emoji with a more diverse look and hairstyle. iOS 16 has a more inclusive language and many accents for Siri to pick up and help you easily. 

Supporting Devices

Unfortunately, the new iOS 16 is not available for all iPhone models. It can only be updated starting from iPhone 8 and above. And for those of you who don’t have the latest version of the iPhone, after updating to iOS 16, your phone can become slow. Another problem you might consider before updating to iOS 16 is that your iCloud Share Photo Library might need some getting used to. 

conclusion

Regardless, the major updates Apple has made on the new iOS 16 will make you want to update with its new and exciting modifications that have been made on the software updates but note that, not everyone likes changes. 

For those of you who are not fond of adapting easily to big changes, we suggest backing up your phone before updating it to the new iOS 16. Backing up your phone will help you save all your old files and settings while you do a trial run on the updated version. With your data backed up, if you end up not liking the changes, you can easily change it back to your previous version with ease (one of the perks of iOS 16).

All in all the new iOS 16 and its features are a great addition to better your every life with your iPhones’. iOS 16 has no complaints so far so you would have little to no trouble after updating it and some would argue that it’s more than worth it to upgrade your phone to iOS 16.
