00:00:00.090 --> 00:00:02.490
- Bugs squashed, tweaks tweaked.

2
00:00:02.490 --> 00:00:04.950
It's Apple's iOS 16.1.

3
00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:07.950
And now, your iPhone
is perfect until 16.2.

4
00:00:07.950 --> 00:00:10.590
So, what are the updates
you need to know about?

5
00:00:10.590 --> 00:00:11.423
Hey, everybody.

6
00:00:11.423 --> 00:00:12.690
Jake here with Lifehacker

7
00:00:12.690 --> 00:00:16.510
and these are the best
features iOS 16.1 has to offer.

8
00:00:16.510 --> 00:00:18.690
(upbeat music)

9
00:00:18.690 --> 00:00:20.613
First, iCloud Shared Photo Library

10
00:00:20.613 --> 00:00:22.890
now lets you and five other members

11
00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:25.110
keep a shared photo library together.

12
00:00:25.110 --> 00:00:26.880
This automatically adds photos and videos

13
00:00:26.880 --> 00:00:29.040
to the shared library
when close to members,

14
00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:31.500
and makes it easier to bulk add photos.

15
00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:32.550
One downside:

16
00:00:32.550 --> 00:00:34.830
it automatically adds photos to the album.

17
00:00:34.830 --> 00:00:37.590
So, if you have any pics
that are sliding into DMs,

18
00:00:37.590 --> 00:00:39.870
maybe avoid a shared
library with Mom and Dad.

19
00:00:39.870 --> 00:00:43.470
Next, Live Activities are finally live.

20
00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:46.560
These dynamic notifications
update their data in realtime

21
00:00:46.560 --> 00:00:49.470
without the need to unlock
your iPhone to keep up to date.

22
00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:51.540
You can see the score of
the game you're following

23
00:00:51.540 --> 00:00:53.370
or how far away your Uber is.

24
00:00:53.370 --> 00:00:55.680
No word yet if they'll add
a Twitter doomsday clock

25
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:56.703
to Live Activities.

26
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:00.450
iPhone 14 Pro users will
now get low battery alerts

27
00:01:00.450 --> 00:01:01.590
in the Dynamic Island

28
00:01:01.590 --> 00:01:03.210
instead of the traditional pop-up alert.

29
00:01:03.210 --> 00:01:04.590
Steve Jobs would be so proud.

30
00:01:04.590 --> 00:01:05.430
It's a small change,

31
00:01:05.430 --> 00:01:08.010
but a good example of the
Dynamic Island's potential.

32
00:01:08.010 --> 00:01:11.580
The more annoying alerts Apple
assigns to it, the better.

33
00:01:11.580 --> 00:01:14.640
And finally, if you enable
Clean Energy Charging,

34
00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:16.020
your iPhone will only charge

35
00:01:16.020 --> 00:01:18.780
when lower carbon emission
electricity is available,

36
00:01:18.780 --> 00:01:20.940
thereby lowering your carbon footprint.

37
00:01:20.940 --> 00:01:22.440
I didn't know my nightly iPhone charging

38
00:01:22.440 --> 00:01:24.600
was another significant
contributor to climate change

39
00:01:24.600 --> 00:01:26.130
and I'm deeply sorry about it.

40
00:01:26.130 --> 00:01:29.100
That's just a few of
the updates in iOS 16.1.

41
00:01:29.100 --> 00:01:31.920
I'll be back again when
Apple drops iOS 16.2,

42
00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.040
the search for more money.

43
00:01:33.040 --> 00:01:34.110
(cash register dinging)

44
00:01:34.110 --> 00:01:35.280
Thanks for watching.

45
00:01:35.280 --> 00:01:37.140
