iOS 16 Developer Beta 4: All The New Features & Changes
The fourth developer beta of iOS 16 marks new changes for recalling messages — both in Messages and Mail — and allows devs to test Live Activities.
The fourth developer beta of iOS 16 rolled out with more minor refinements ahead of the upcoming September launch, highlighted by changes to recalled messages on both iMessage and Mail. iOS 16 is the next full version release of Apple's mobile operating system and is currently undergoing beta testing periods before a broader rollout in the fall. The iOS 16 developer beta 4 was released alongside the second public beta, but the two software releases have significant differences. Developer betas are meant for development only by authorized Apple ID accounts, so these pre-release software versions get the newest features first. Eventually, these features make their way to the public beta software and the final release.
As the developer beta approaches two months since it was first released and receives its fourth revision, the iOS 16 that will be released to the public is beginning to take shape. Apple unveiled the software at the Worldwide Developers Conference in June, an event centered around developers and their creations. But in the weeks after the keynote event, iOS 16 has seen a lot of changes. For example, two of the software version's flagship features were refined — the redesigned Lock Screen and the iMessage recall. Similarly, new features have made their way to iOS 16 through the developer betas that weren't even announced at WWDC this year.
One of the most prominent features announced as part of the upcoming iOS 16 release was the ability to edit and recall iMessages after they've been sent. After the first developer beta was released, it became apparent that there was a catch — every device connected to iMessage through iCloud must be updated to the latest software versions for the messages to disappear or change. Now, with the release of iOS 16 beta 4, there are even more restrictions on the new feature. iMessages can only be edited a maximum of five times and only within 15 minutes of sending the message. The edit history is visible to the user by tapping the 'Edited' badge underneath the message. Furthermore, users can delete iMessages up to two minutes after they are sent. Mail also gets a new recall trick — users can now unsend a message up to 30 seconds after sending if the setting is enabled.
When you learn, you lead others aright and save them from captivity. But you don’t just learn anything, you seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom from the right sources with the proper ethics. Look for the write up on ethics of seeking knowledge. And as usual, when you sleep over the bed of heedlessness in your youth, then be sure to tread on the path of regret during old age. Let me hasten to reiterate that seeking knowledge frees you from the captivity and prison of ignorance and darkness. So my good friends, brothers and sisters in Islam, seek beneficial knowledge and wisdom with the correct ethics, aiming to benefit society with the knowledge and hoping for reward from the Almighty Allah. Laziness is very attractive to ignorance, so wherever there is laziness in the quest for knowledge, be certain to find ignorance married happily to Mr. laziness, making a perfect couple with darkness as their residence. Corrections, criticisms and the like are welcome as usual. They keep me on my toes and on the look out for much information. Since information is key in this day and age.
