Apple today released the third beta of iOS 16.1 to developers for testing, a week after the second iOS 16.1 beta. The iOS 16.1 beta also joins the fourth beta of iPadOS 16.1, which has a slightly different schedule as Apple began testing iOS 16 before its release.
Registered developers can download iOS 16 and iPadOS 16 profiles from the Apple Developer Center, and once installed, the beta will be available over-the-air.
iOS 16.1 introduces support for Live Activity, an interactive notification feature that lets you follow what’s happening in real-time right from the lock screen as well as from the iPhone 14 Pro’s Dynamic Island.
Live Activity is currently unavailable as developers still need to update their apps to add support, but it will be available when iOS 16.1 launches. Developers can access the ActivityKit API to start preparing their applications.
The update also introduces a new clean energy charging feature in the U.S. designed for selective charging when low-carbon electricity is available, and it sets the stage for Matter, a new smart home standard that Apple plans to start supporting this fall. foundation.
Matter will allow interoperability between smart devices from different companies, and Apple, Google, Samsung, Amazon, and others are working to support it.
The second beta of iOS 16.1 tweaks the design of the battery status bar icon, adding a visual indication of battery level. It also changed the battery font, updated the lock screen charging indicator, and fixed copy and paste bugs.
Other new features in the update include a removable wallet app, changes to the lock screen customization interface, and more, see our iOS 16.1 features guide for details.
