CTOnews.com reported on March 28 that Apple today pushed iOS 16.4 update (build number: 20E247) and iPadOS 16.4 (build number is 20E246) to iPhone users, 42 days after the last release.

It should be noted that due to the cache configuration problem of Apple node servers in various regions, the upgrade and update time may be slightly delayed in some places, usually within half an hour, not too long.

The official update log says 21 new emoticons have been released and include other enhancements, bug fixes and security updates for iPhone.

This update includes the following enhancements and bug fixes:

21 emoticons are added to the emoji keyboard, including animals, gestures and objects

The web page added to the home screen App now supports notification

Sources say Apple has focused on iOS / iPadOS 17 and is expected to announce it at WWDC 2023 in June, so iOS / iPadOS 16.4 may be the last version update of the 16 branches.

21 Emoji emoticons iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 were introduced to add new emoticons, including shaking head, pink heart, light blue heart, donkey, moose, jellyfish, hyacinth, ginger, blackbird and so on. There are a total of 31 new emoticons, including left-handed and right-handed options for a variety of colors.

The introduction of Safari Web Push on iPhone and iPad notifies Apple that Safari Web push notifications have been added to iPhone and iPad, and users can receive them from websites that have been added to the device's home screen. Web push notifications are the same as the notifications users receive from the website on Mac and are the same as any other iOS notifications.

Notifications that provide Web Push Notifications with focus mode to support Home Screen web applications can be merged into Focus and summarized into Daily Summary, where users can choose where to configure and how to receive web notifications.

If users add the same web applications to the home screen of multiple iPhone or iPad, they will see focus mode automatically applied to all of these applications.

Web applications that add counters to the Home screen can display counters, similar to those of regular applications, and let users know about alerts and notifications. The counter is displayed after the user has granted permission to allow notifications.

Support for third-party browsers to add to the home screen Chrome and other third-party browsers can add a website or web page to the home screen by sharing the menu.

Beta opts to join with the launch of iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 beta, users who join the Apple developer program can enable developer beta directly from the software update section of the setup app.

This new option is automatically enabled on devices that have registered programs and updated to the latest beta version. Your iPhone or iPad must log in with the same Apple ID you used when you registered for Apple DeveloperProgram to see this option in the settings. It is worth noting that in future iOS and iPadOS versions, this new setting will be the way to enable developer beta, and the configuration description file will no longer grant access.

Return to traditional page flip animation Apple removed the traditional page flip animation in the iOS 16 update to provide simpler slide animation, but users didn't like this adjustment.

IOS 16.4 Beta has added a new toggle button in the theme and settings section of the Books application to allow users to choose the way they like to turn the page.

Options include "Curl", "Slide" and "None". Slide is the default animation for iOS 16, Curl is the page flip animation in iOS 15 and previous versions, and None is a simpler animation that just moves from one page to another.

HomeKit architecture upgrades iOS 16.4, iPadOS 16.4 and macOS Ventura 13.3 reintroduced the HomeKit schema update, which was withdrawn from iOS 16.2 due to the addition of a large number of HomeKit vulnerabilities.

In the software update section of the Home application, iPhone and iPad users who have not yet upgraded to the new architecture see the "Home Upgrade Available" option after updating to iOS 16.4.

The new HomeKit architecture is designed to improve the reliability and efficiency of communication between smart home accessories and Apple devices.

The initial launch caused some HomeKit devices to disappear from the HomeKit settings or remain in a "configure / update" state. It also led to the failure of the invitation to share the family with others and, for some, undermined the secure video recording of HomeKit.

Podcast Apple has made a number of updates to the Podcasts app. Channel access is available in the library section, and next now allows you to resume episodes, start saving episodes, and delete episodes you want to skip.

For CarPlay, there is now an option to continue listening to the podcast through the previous episode, or to find new podcast options in browsing.

Introduction to Apple Music applications in Apple Music applications, there is now a prominent button for accessing your profile, which makes it easier for you to access your profile settings.

Overview of AppleCare coverage in the setup application, there is now an updated "coverage" interface that displays warranty information for your iPhone and connected devices such as Apple Watch and AirPods.

Shortcut instructions in the Quick instructions, there are options for creating a workflow that locks the device screen and controlling the frequently displayed display, as well as an option to automatically enable or disable the "pre-stage scheduling" feature on the iPad. Apple has also added an option to allow Siri to announce notifications as an action that can be incorporated into shortcut instructions.

Mastodon content Preview in messages when you send someone a link to a Mastodon post in the messaging app, a preview of the shared content is now displayed instead of a simple picture link.

Tips Application user Guide the Tips application now displays user guides for iPhone and other devices that may be used with iPhone, including Apple Watch, AirPods, and HomePod. In previous versions of iOS, Tips applications provided only iPhone user guides.

Focus mode has a display filter that is always online and can be enabled in Focus mode.

5G iPhone users who use T-Mobile for 5G independent support for T-Mobile can turn on a new 5G option that enables them to connect to the operator's 5G independent network.

Provide more elaborate satellite service time for emergency calls Apple will now tell users in more detail when the next satellite will pass through the function of making emergency calls by satellite. Apple used to provide options for the feature to be "available soon" and available in X time, but now it will provide specific hours and minutes.

The next satellite will be available in [x] hours and [x] minutes

The next satellite will be available within [x] hours.

The next satellite will be available in [x] minutes.

The next satellite will be available in 1 minute.

The update of Apple Card's high-yield savings account iOS 16.4 laid the foundation for Apple card users' high-yield savings accounts, which Apple announced as early as October. The code in iOS 16.4 mentions the route and account number, current balance, interest earned, data management, withdrawable funds, etc.

Apple will encourage customers to sign up for a savings account with the message: "transfer your Apple cash balance to your savings account and start earning interest today."you can transfer from Apple cash to your savings account in a transaction. Up to [amount], start earning interest today."

Like Apple Card, high-yield savings accounts will be provided through Goldman Sachs. Apple card holders will be able to choose to deposit their daily cash automatically in order to earn interest. Savings accounts may be launched at the same time as iOS 16.4, but they are not yet available in wallet apps.
