Now that we have iOS 15, what do we want from iOS 16? (MERGED)

Those are all really great, especially 13. It would be nice to be able to know who tried unlocking your phone. Plus, if you have a cellular Apple Watch, it would notify you.
iOS 16? We barely discovered all the cool new featu… err … bugs in iOS 15.

I highly doubt SplitView will happen, but I never thought PiP would make it’s way to the iPhone.
But I don’t have a horse in the race with iPhone features… I’m more interested in what Apple does for the iPad, which I have lost any hope in Apple bringing virtualization to iPadOS. What I’m curious with iPadOS is what’s next for SlideOver.
SlideOver was introduced in iOS 9… it was stagnated, couldn’t really multitask directly from SlideOver until iPadOS 13 . Then this year with iPadOS 15 we are able to dismiss SlideOver from the left or right screen (before it was only to the left). I’m hoping next Apple implement SlideOver as a standalone window without it being dependent on another full screen app.
I don't want to move the address bar from bottom to top as they tried in Safari for IOS 15 - I'd like to have the back and forth < > up top as it is on other apps such as News - some commonality.
I'd like to be able to move items in Settings so that the ones I use are near the top and not pages down.

Have the photos on my phone automatically get added to a family icloud album and thus reflected on our main home computer (mac). Seriously, all our devices are organized into a family, with two parents each with an iphone controlling a couple of kid iphones and an ipad. Yet only my wife's photos go to the "main" icloud photos. The rest are silo'd unless I manually share EACH DAMN PHOTO to a shared album. Instead, I plug my phone into the Mac every few weeks and old-school upload the photos to Photos app and erase them from my phone. This process is broken.
I would like to see windowing happen. I really don’t care how small the windows are, the 11 inch MacBook Air had windows, I want to have a windowed, resiziable apps on my iPad Pro.
I’d also like to have an actual desktop. Since iCloud syncs desktop and documents folders I want to have those desktop files on my iPad Home Screen.
I would also like to have a persistent menu bar for easier discoverability of actions that may be hidden in the app.
And no I don’t want macOS on the iPad. I want iPadOS to be a full desktop OS. I want to see the best of macOS brought over to the iPad, without all the legacy of macOS coming to the iPad.

A toggle setting to disable “paused syncing - saving battery power” when uploading iCloud photos.
If I wanted it paused, I’d have disabled it myself.

Media handoff. It’s incredible how Spotify has a better multi-device integration than Apple Music. The way how I can start listening to something on my iPad and change to the same exact song in the same exact minute in my iPhone, is what is keeping me away from returning to Apple Music.
I want an OS that is not a relic of the past.
In short, I want apps to be able to float atop each other should be wish, for example, I would love to have a floating calculator app I can use over my preferred notes app on the iPhone.
No reason the calculator must take the entire screen. It can very well run in 20% of it and it would be so much more usable. Of course, I want the sizes to be user-adjustable.

Ooh I just thought of a good idea. You know those annoying Captcha's we all have to put up with? Apple should partner with those companies to use Face ID for "human" verification instead. I'm sure it would be very easy to implement.
For iOS
1. Split view
2. Icon customization without the use of shortcuts
3. Ability to turn off App Library
4. Lock Screen customization
5. Either a guest mode or password lock on some apple applications (like photos, messages etc.) too many curious family members on my side of the family.
For IPadOS
1. Guest Mode
2. Ability to run a watered down version of Mac OS on the IPad
3. A true file system

I have never been asked to close tabs in any version of iOS. Are you referring to a specific situation that I have never ran into ?
