Apple released the first public beta version of iOS 16.1: full support percentage display, introduction of real-time activity API

CTOnews.com, September 16 (Xinhua)-- Apple today released the first beta version of the upcoming iOS 16.1 update to public testers, just one day later than the developer beta, but the update should be exactly the same, such as full support for the battery percentage icon, smart island developer tools and new clean energy charging features.

Of course, Apple has also released a new public beta version of iPadOS 16.1, with basically the same updates.

Apple said iOS 16. 1 will introduce real-time events, an interactive notification feature that allows you to focus on what's going on. Real-time events will provide some information on lock screens and "dynamic islands", but you won't be able to see them in beta yet because there is no App adaptation.

The update includes the clean energy charging feature in the United States, which aims to selectively charge iPhone when meeting low-carbon emissions, and lays the foundation for the smart home standard "Matter", which Apple plans to start supporting this fall.

Other new features include a removable Apple Wallet app, changes to the lock screen / wallpaper customization interface, and more, as previously reported by CTOnews.com in the iOS 16.1 feature update.
