iOS 16.4
This release brings 21 new emoji, including animals, hand gestures, and objects, and a new voice Isolation feature for cellular calls that prioritizes your voice and blocks ambient noise during phone calls over cellular. Plus, web apps can now deliver notifications on your home screen, the iCloud Shared Photo library can now detect duplicate shots, maps in the Weather app support Voice Over, and more.
iPadOS 16.4
The big new feature here is that Apple Pencil’s hover tilt and azimuth support feature now lets you preview your mark at any angle before you apply it. (This works in Notes and other supported applications on the 4th gen iPad Pro 11-inch and 6th gen iPad Pro 12.9-inch only.) Additionally, iPadOS 16.4 adds the emoji, web app/home screen, photo duplication detection, and Weather app features noted above.
macOS 13.3
For macOS Ventura, Apple has added 21 new emojis, a remove background feature for Freeform so you can isolate the subject in images, the photo duplication detection and Weather features noted above, new keyboard layouts, new transliteration support for Gujarati, Punjabi, and Urdu keyboards, and various fixes.
