iOS 16.4 now released

 

New Features: Phone Call Voice Isolation, iCloud Duplicate Image Detection

iOS 16.4 has just been released for download, introducing new emojis, web push notifications, and a handful of other new features and updates.

Additionally, the update also includes support for Voice Isolation for cellular phone calls in addition to VoIP calls, such as FaceTime or WhatsApp.

For those who aren’t familiar, Voice Isolation prioritizes your voice and blocks out the ambient noise around you, making for clearer phone calls.

How to Enable Voice Isolation in Phone Calls

During a phone call or a FaceTime call, access the Control Center by swiping down from the top right corner.
Now tap on the Mic Mode option (as shown above)
Choose the Voice Isolation option

Another notable new iOS 16.4 feature is the extension of duplicate image detection to iCloud Shared Photo Library.

For iOS 16 users, the ‌Photos‌ app displays a “Duplicates” folder in the Utilities album section if you have any duplicate images in your library.

After installing iOS 16.4, you will now be able to detect duplicate photos and videos in ‌iCloud‌ Shared Photo Library as well, and merge them all together.

IPadOS 16.4 as well

Probably much the same changes as above but just in case…

Apple included several new Shortcut actions for controlling device settings.

Set Stage Manager
Silence Unkown Callers
Set True Tone
Set Announce Notifications
Shut Down
Lock Screen
Set Always On Display
Intercom
Set VPN
Set AirDrop Receiving
Set Night Shift
Both iPhone and iPad received these new Shortcuts, but they will only be applicable to specific hardware. For example, "Set Stage Manager" will only toggle the feature on iPads with M-series processors.

Interesting

I have my iPhone Xs set for automatic updates but V16.4 did not install for some reason even though I had power connected. I had to load it manually.

First time that's happened.

Installed yesterday

No hitch on iPhone or iPad that I could see...

Exposure Notification

Still you have it with 16.4?

Mine does and wonder if pandemic still be around? This is ridiculous; especially lot of people understand what it's coming from!

Wish someone can raise the voice how to get rid all of the crime they do and wish this app do not exist anymore in our life!

Still got the proof in black and white what they said in last year from very high leader in Texas sent to me with quote

"Nobody will be responsible for this virus"

and if this app still be around that mean their machine still be harmful to our human kind.

Thanks

Thanks for the info

A question about updates

My wife just purchased an iPad 10.2 and it says there is a update avail. when we click on it, it starts to download and install, then after a few min (3 or more, don't recall) it says update requested. not sure what to do now.

Any ideas or help!

Just leave it on ,and it will eventually download the update. Once downloaded you will get the option to install it.

Ipad updates take considerable time

I assume this is a first time experience with iPad?

The updates for iPads do take considerable time; this last one on my 9th gen took much of 15 minutes. So my advice is to start the process again, and simply wait it out. The ipad will also probably reboot, a time during which the screen will go blank.

Auto software update

I don't know if anyone else has seen this, but it appears that the update to 16.4 changed my IOS auto update setting from OFF to ON.

See https://osxdaily.com/2023/04/04/psa-ios-16-4-enables-auto-in.... The article discusses a splash screen that informs the user which I may have seen. Not sure I saw it however; having done many updates I just blow through the boiler plate at the end.
