We already have iOS 16 with us, with all functions available. With all the ones we told you about when they were released in the betas. Functions that eventually remained to be part of the operating system that was released for the general public. If you have followed the evolution of these betas, you will surely have seen that there are some functions that have not been left. Apple has decided not to implement them, for now. Because the vast majority have become promises of the future.
When the iOS 16 developer betas started to be released, we told you about the news they might bring to our iPhone. The developers told us about the advantages of some functions and others. We have even seen how some of these functions have been left out and at the moment they have not been introduced in today’s launch. But we have already seen in the presentation of the iPhone 14 how some of them We will see them in the near future.
Real-time activities
This functionality of being able to see certain activities in real time on our iPhone was one of those functions that started with great force but for now has been left to be launched later. Apple promises it will be soon,
Game Center Features
Both support Game Center multiplayer with SharePlay which lets you game while using FaceTime or the functionality of being able to integrate contacts into the game center and being able to communicate with them more effectively, they will arrive soon, but not today.
Matter and HomeKit
The new Matter standard supposed to delight all those who use HomeKit and their integration at home, they will have to wait a little longer. It is supposed to be compatible and the reality is that it already is, the problem is that the standard is not ready yet. We will therefore have to wait.
Digital whiteboard app
The possibility of having a digital board with the ability to draw freely on it and being able to share what we are doing with other users in real time, is not there today. I’m sorry to say this, because in addition to being able to work more comfortably, it could be done on a multiplatform (iPad, Mac and iPhone). This will come back later.
iCloud Shared Photo Library
The possibility for users to create a library of shared pictures and inviting anyone with an Apple ID to view, contribute, and edit it, including liking images and adding captions, will have to wait.
Key sharing
Share your keys securely by message or email. A function that will arrive soon, according to Apple.
Apple indicates that these mentioned functions will arrive at the end of the year. But this time frame is very wide and we will have to wait to see what he tells us or what they do. We are likely to see them, if not all of them, but if a good part in iOS 16.1
