Apple today embedded the fourth beta of iOS 16 to developers for trial. The latest beta consists of some new features and changes, including the Messages app, Home app, Mail app, Lock Screen notifications, CarPlay, and more. iOS 16 is currently in beta for developers and members of Apple's free public beta testing program. The software update will be released for all iPhone 8 or newer users in September. A second public beta of  iOS 16 that is associated with today's fourth developer beta is expected to be launched next week. We have highlighted new remarkable features and changes in iOS beta 4 below:

iMessage Edit/Undo Send Changes

iOS 16 Public Beta You can now tap on the small "Edited" label below an edited iMessage bubble to view the original version of the message and any other previous edits. Also, iMessages can now only be edited up to five times before the "Edit" option disappears.

Live Activities API

Apple has launched ActivityKit in beta, letting developers start testing the Live Activities feature on the Lock Screen in their apps on the iOS 16 beta. For now, apps that implement the feature will only be available via TestFlight. Live Activities will offer real-time glanceable information on the Lock Screen. For example, a sports app might allow the user to start a Live Activity for a live sports game. In that scenario, the Live Activity would appear on the Lock Screen for the duration of the game and offer the latest updates about the game at a glance. iOS 16 Public Beta Apple says Live Activities will not be included in the initial publicly released version of iOS 16, with the feature to be enabled in an update later this year — perhaps iOS 16.1. At that time, apps offering Live Activities will become available in the App Store.

New Wallpapers in Home App

The fourth beta of iOS 16 adds new Wildflowers and Architectural wallpapers to choose from in the Home app, alongside existing wallpapers.

New Time Limits for Undo Send in Mail

In the Mail app on iOS 16, it is briefly possible to unsend an email in the Mail app. In the first three betas, the time limit for unsending an email was 10 seconds, but the fourth beta provides users with options of 10, 20, or 30 seconds.

Lock Screen Notification Settings

Apple has improved the look of Lock Screen notification options in the Settings app. In the fourth beta of iOS 16, Apple contains images that visualize the Count, Sack, and List options for how Lock Screen notifications are displayed.

New Lock Screen Customization Interface

iOS 16 Public Beta Apple has overhauled the interface when customizing the Lock Screen, with options for colors, gradients, photos, and more at the bottom.

Bolder Music Player on Lock Screen

Apple has updated the music player on the Lock Screen with bolder elements.

New Wallpapers for CarPlay

A static version of the iOS 16 wallpaper for the iPhone is now available for CarPlay, with multi-colored, blue, and gray options to choose from.
