Apple has released iOS 16.4 for iPhone and iPadOS 16.4 for iPad.
As an update common to both, 21 new emoji will be added. Pictograms such as animals, hand gestures, and objects are placed in a row. Additionally, the “Duplicates” album in the Photos app will be able to detect duplicate photos and videos in the iCloud shared photo library.
With “iOS 16.4” for iPhone, you can use “Separate Voice” when making a call, making it easier to introduce your own voice and reduce the noise around you. In addition, the iPhone 14/14 Pro series will make the most of the collision detection function.
In “iPadOS 16.4” for iPad, the Apple Pencil problem that occurs when drawing or handwriting with the memo application will be resolved.
In addition, the 11-inch iPad Pro (4th generation) and 12.9-inch iPad Pro (6th generation) support the tilt angle and azimuth angle function of the Apple Pencil point so that you can preview handwriting in the memo app and compatible apps.
