Apple has released a new version of its mobile operating system. iOS 16.5 can now be downloaded directly on the iPhone via the software update settings.
The operating system update promises few innovations and focuses mainly on bug fixes and performance optimization.
iOS 16.5: All important innovations at a glance
In addition to the usual improvements under the hood, the visible innovations in version 16.5 are limited:
- Screen recording via Siri: The language assistant can now also record the screen using the commands “Hey Siri, start a screen recording” or “Hey Siri, stop screen recording”.
- New Emojis: A total of 21 new emojis will be added to the system.
- Sports tab in Apple News: “Apple News” now also shows a tab for “Sports”. However, the app is still not available in Germany.
- New Pride Wallpaper: Fresh wallpaper for iPhone.
- Spotlight Search: Troubleshoot when Search becomes unresponsive.
Install iOS 16.5
The most convenient and fastest way to update iPhone to iOS 16.5 is through the device itself.
- Open the “Settings” app on your iPhone and select the “General” menu item.
- Now tap on “Software Update” to make the iPhone check for existing updates.
- If a new version is available, click the “Download and Install” button below.
- When the update is downloaded, you will then receive a message that your iPhone will restart in a few seconds. It may now take some time for the installation to complete. The fact that the loading bar and the Apple logo appear several times is completely normal.
Alternatively and if there are problems with the update on the device, the iPhone can be updated on the PC or Mac.
