Apple said it's working to make sure that shared keys are an industry standard and free for others. When your friend receives the key, they can add it to the Wallet app on their iPhone. IOS 16 makes sharing keys easier with apps like Mail and Messages. So rather than showing your exact birth date, the Wallet app will display your ID and that you're over 21. In iOS 16 you can also protect your identity and age.

ID cards from more states will be available in your Wallet app along with more security and privacy features. But the concept could provide some relief if it gets adopted. Apple says in the video that the company is working with other companies to roll out support for this feature, so we can't say the CAPTCHA will be dead after iOS 16 rolls out to the public. With iOS 16, Apple plans to start replacing these awkward interactions with Private Access Tokens.Īccording to a video on Apple's website demonstrating Private Access Tokens, websites that support the token will essentially log in and authenticate that you are indeed a human without your having to play any of the usual CAPTCHA games. I find them annoying, as they often involve reading strangely written letters or having to find all the images that have a truck. CAPTCHAs are designed to make sure that a person is accessing a website or service, and not a bot. The CAPTCHA - which stands for Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart - has been a necessary evil across the internet.

Skip CAPTCHAs using Private Access Tokens Live Activities should make it easier to follow sporting events, workouts or even the progress of an Uber ride.

A new tool for developers called Live Activities makes it easier to stay on top of things happening in real time from your lock screen, instead of getting a series of interruptions. Sometimes you get a bunch of notifications in a row from one app, like the score of a basketball game. IOS 16 also aims to solve another notification problem. This not only looks better but should be a big help for one-handed use of your iPhone. As you receive them, instead of being compiled into a list, they appear like a vertical carousel. Sometimes notifications can cover up your lock screen's photo, so iOS 16 moves notifications to the bottom of your display.
