How does one drag the image into messages? (I can copy and paste but can’t seem to figure out how to drag it into messages)

The feature works not only in Photos but even in screenshots and Quick Look. In the ‌Photos‌ app, just hold down on a photo for a few seconds until you see a white glow appear around the subject. You can then drag the subject out of the ‌Photos‌ app and into Messages, Mail, Notes, and more.

Press and hold until you see it pop out, then using another finger go into messages like you would.

Man some of you have never dual-SIM’d and it shows.
I tried to dual sim with Visible Wireless, it helped in some areas...especially Hollister, California where I got NO Sprint/T-mobile service...The rest of the time Visible sucked ever, just as bad Sprint...Ultimately, it wasn’t worth $25 a month to me. I have considered trying an MVNO that uses AT&T service for the second sim, but have not tried it yet.

iOS 16 includes a section dedicated to AirPods in Settings. It only appears when a user wears them.

^ I've tried recording a video and changing app, video stops recording. Not sure if that's what he was trying to say, but yeah. Doesn't work for me.

Came here to post this very thing. I got the notice today, and actually went through the setup. Classic Apple experience that was easy to go through and helpful along the way. The custom head tracking does seem to make a difference though I'm prepared to admit it might be a bit of a placebo—but maybe not!

ios 16 messages finally support easy @mentions. Just type @name and it will automatically highlight and mention them.

Perry sure (which means I’m 100% sure) that this is in iOS 15. I use it all the time. In fact it’s even easier: just type their name (no @) and it turns grey. Tap it and select their name from the little bubble to highlight/mention them.

It does seem a bit easier this time - no need to tap. I just @name and press space, and it automatically fills the @ for you.

I am Dutch but have my phone and Siri set in English (US). I receive messages in Dutch, English, French, German and Italian, and American Siri would always read them to me, butchering the other languages. In iOS16 Siri recognizes the message isn't in English and tells me that. I can still ask her to read it afterwards, but it's a step up that she doesn't do it automatically.

I really don’t understand why Siri is not smart enough to use the correct language. It could even be based on the keyboard or dictionary that you have installed. For instance, the keyboard automatically knows, which language I write with contact X or Y and uses the right auto-correct accordingly without having to switch the keyboard for each language manually. I don’t get why Siri can’t behave the same way

I’ve compared the process on my iPhone (still on 15.6) and my iPad, on 16. On the iPad, to get the “automatic” highlighting, you have to use the @ symbol as a prefix. On the iPhone, under 15.6, you get can use the @ symbol (1 extra character) or you can just type their name and the little bubble appears, tap that and same effect. Either way, it involves an extra tap (either to insert the @ symbol or to tap the bubble). Pretty inconsequential difference.

Not sure if posted already but this button on Safari is new, right? Never noticed it before 🧐

Edit: nevermind, they just made it more prominent. Guess it made sense to change it as I have never noticed it before 😅

Here’s what it looks like in iOS 15.6. Pretty similar.

Changes to dual sim. Since I live in both the US and the UK, I typically turn off data from a US eSim(Verizon) and I use data from my UK Sim. In the past, I was able to leave the US Sim on, but now I’m getting notices from Verizon that my travel pass will renew every day. So now, when you turn off the US Sim completely , you get these messages.
