Live Activities

Matter Support
A new smart home networking standard called Matter will make it possible for compatible accessories to operate in unison across several platforms.
Clean Energy Charging

Apple Wallet App Can Be Deleted
Users can now remove the Wallet app for the first time in iOS 16.1. As you might anticipate, uninstalling the Wallet app prevents you from using a variety of functions, including Apple Pay, Apple Cash, and Apple Card.
Battery Percentage Icon
For the iPhone XR, iPhone 11, iPhone 12 mini, and iPhone 13 mini, iOS 16.1 enables battery percentage. The battery indicator has been tweaked by Apple so that when the percentage is activated, a dynamic icon will appear.
iCloud Shared Photo Library
A new way for families to seamlessly share photos and have separate iCloud libraries for up to six people to collaborate, contribute and enjoy. Users can share existing photos from their personal library or based on a start date or people in the photo.
