iOS 16 is here!

iOS is here today, at 18:00 GMT.

iOS 16 is the yearly iOS upgrade, and it's a big one, featuring more customisation features such as widgets on the lock screen, creating multiple lock screens, and the long anticipated Passkeys which introduce a new sign-in method that is end-to-end encrypted, and safe from phishing and data leaks. This makes passkeys stronger than all common two-factor authentication types. They also work on non-Apple devices.

As well as the ability to undo a message on iMessage within 15 minutes. You can find out more on Apple's website here: https://www.apple.com/uk/ios/ios-16/
