What's new in the iOS 16.2 and
iPadOS 16.2 updateApple Sing
Last week, the Cupertino company announced a new feature for Apple Music, called Apple Sing. As the name suggests, this is an option that displays live lyrics (animated) as you listen to songs. It has some karaoke style options that you can use to adjust the vocals if you want to sing solo, duet, or mix it up. Apple Sing is available worldwide on iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV 4K for Apple Music subscribers. It's time to channel your inner rock star.
Freeform
Freeform is a whiteboard app which you can use to draw, scribble, sketch, add files to your board, and collaborate with others to work on a shared board. I have explained about Freeform in my macOS Ventura 13.01 article, so you may want to read it for more information about it.
Advanced Data Protection for iCloud
End-to-end encryption for data stored in iCloud is now a reality, you may use it to protect your photos, videos, iCloud Backup, etc., by enabling Advanced Data Protection from your device's settings. This feature is currently available for users in the U.S., and will be expanded worldwide in early 2023.
Stage Manager in iPadOS
iPadOS 16.2 extends support for Stage Manager to older iPads. This lets users drag and drop files and windows to and from another device. Users can place up to 4 app windows on iPads, and 4 on the external display. If you have an iPad Pro 12.9-inch (5th generation and later), iPad Pro 11-inch (3rd generation and later) and the iPad Air (5th generation), you may use it as an external display for Macs with up to 6K resolution.
