![]() ![]() In the Software Update section of the Home app, iPhone and iPad users who have not yet upgraded to the new architecture are seeing a "Home Upgrade Available" option after updating to iOS 16.4. IOS 16.4, iPadOS 16.4, and macOS Ventura 13.3 reintroduce the HomeKit architecture update that was pulled from iOS 16.2 due to a wide range of HomeKit bugs that it added. These features are also available in iPadOS 16.4 for those who read on the iPad. Slide is the iOS 16 default, Curl is the old iOS 15 and earlier animation, and None is an even simpler animation that just shifts from page to page with little fanfare. In the Themes and Settings section of the Books app, there are now three options for page turning: Curl, Slide, and None. IOS 16.4 reintroduces the page turning animation as an option, which is a welcome change for the Apple Books readers who missed it. In iOS 16, Apple tweaked Apple Books to eliminate the traditional page turning animation that had been used since the early days of the app, a move that upset some Apple Books users. Note that this will put an end to the public sharing of developer beta profiles as installing a developer beta will require each person to be signed into an Apple ID linked to a developer account. Developers and public beta testers will be able to use a different Apple ID than their main Apple ID, if an account is separate. The change will, however, prevent non-developers from being able to install the developer beta as each installation will need to be linked to an Apple ID associated with a developer profile. There is also an option for public beta testers as well who want to install updates with less hassle. This will eliminate the need to install a profile from the Developer Center in order to get developer betas, simplifying the beta downloading process. ![]() With iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4, those who are enrolled in Apple's developer program are able to turn on developer betas directly from the Software Update section in the Settings app. Third-party browsers like Chrome can now let users add websites and web apps to the Home Screen from the Share menu. Add to Home Screen for Third-Party Browsers Badges are shown after a user gives permission to allow notifications, with web apps displaying the current badge count. Web apps added to the Home Screen can display badges to make users aware of alerts and notifications, similar to badges for regular apps. Users who add the same web app to their Home Screen on more than one iPhone or iPad will see Focus mode automatically apply to all of them. Notifications for Home Screen web apps can be incorporated into Focus, so they can be rolled into Daily Summaries and there are options for configuring where and how to receive the web notifications. Web developers need to implement support for the feature, so it may not be working on all websites right away. To receive push notifications for a website, you will need to add it to the Home Screen. Notifications from web apps work exactly like notifications from other apps, showing up on the Lock Screen, in Notification Center, and on a paired Apple Watch. Web apps added to a user's home screen can request permission to receive push notifications through a "subscribe" button or another similar direct interaction.Īs on the Mac, the iPhone or iPad will prompt the user to give the web app permission to send notifications, and the notifications can be managed on a per web app basis in the Notifications section of the Settings app. This is a feature that Apple first announced at WWDC with the introduction of iOS 16, and it is now ready to start rolling out. Websites that are added to the Home Screen on an iPhone or iPad as a web app can send Web Push notifications in iOS 16.4/iPadOS 16.4, just like on the Mac. ![]() Safari Web Push Notifications on iPhone and iPad Added emojis include shaking head, pink heart, blue heart, gray heart, donkey, moose, black bird, goose, wing, jellyfish, hyacinth, pea pod, ginger, fan, comb, flute, maracas, and a number of left and right facing hand options.
