CTOnews.com reported on May 16 that Apple today pushed the iOS / iPadOS 16.5 RC 2 update (build number: 20F66) to iPhone and iPad users, six days after the last release.

CTOnews.com queried Apple's official website and found that iOS / iPadOS 16.5 RC2 updates are the same as RC1, without introducing any new features or features.

The iOS / iPadOS 16.5 RC update includes the following enhancements and bug fixes: a new Pride Celebration (Rainbow Celebration) wallpaper for locking screens to commemorate the LGBTQ+ community and culture

The sports tab in Apple News allows you to easily access the reports, scores, rankings, etc., of the teams and leagues you follow.

The "my Sports" score and calendar card in Apple News takes you directly to the match page, where you can find more details about a particular game.

The update for iOS 16.5 Beta 4 is as follows: Apple deactivated the watchOS Beta profile in the iOS 16.5 Beta 2 update and allowed users to switch to join Beta channels in Apple Watch.

Apple said that after users upgrade the iOS 16.5 Beta 4 update, you can see which Apple ID has received the Beta update in the Watch app.

Clicking on the email address takes the user to iPhone's software update settings where they can change the Apple ID associated with iOS and watchOS software updates.

CTOnews.com consulted the relevant media and found no other new improvements other than the above changes. Given that the Beta 3 update does not introduce any significant changes, Apple is unlikely to introduce new features in Beta 4.

Apple also released an update to iOS 16.5 Public Beta 4 (build number 20F5059a) today.

The iOS 16 development cycle is coming to an end, and Apple will devote more energy and time to iOS 17. All fixes for iOS 16.5 Beta updates are attached below.

The update content of iOS 16.5 Beta 3 is as follows: CTOnews.com checked Apple's official update log, as well as 9to5Mac, MacRumors and other media reports, did not find that iOS / iPadOS 16.5 Beta 3 update introduced new features.

Apple's development team is currently focusing on iOS 17, and the iOS 16 development branch is coming to an end, so no new major features or new features will be introduced.

The iOS/iPadOS 16.5 Beta 3 update log is the same as Beta 2, so I won't repeat it here.

IOS 16.5 Beta 2 update is as follows: completely deactivate the Beta profile: Apple deactivated the Beta configuration file on iPhone and iPad in the iOS / iPadOS 16.4 update. In iOS / iPadOS 16.5 Beta 2 and watchOS 9.5 Beta 2, this Beta adjustment now applies to Apple Watch as well.

That is, users no longer enable watchOS Beta updates through the watchOS Beta description file, but through the Watch application on iPhone.

In addition, the macOS system also uses the new Beta testing method:

Fix content, add and improve:

Sharing administrators in the home can now pair and add Matter accessories

Fixed issues:

Fixed: when attempting a manual software update of a Matter accessory with available updates, Home may not indicate that an update has been requested and continue to indicate that an update is available.

Fixed: if Home hub is running a version prior to tvOS 16.5 beta, the sharing administrator's accessory pairing failed.

Fixed: an updated issue will be provided again even if the Matter accessory has been updated

Fixed: the sharing administrator was unable to pair the first Matter accessory in the family.

The following is the update for iOS 16.5 Beta 1: support for screen recording via Siri

IOS 16.5 Beta 1 allows users to start and end screen recording sessions with Siri voice commands. Previously, users had to manually click the button in the Control Center (Control Center) to start and end.

Apple News introduces Sports tag iOS 16.5 Beta 1. Apple News application integrates Following and Search tag pages and introduces a brand-new Sports tag page. This tab can display news and scores related to the team that users follow.
