Share photos easily with your loved ones with iCloud Shared Photo Library

Source: Apple

It's now much easier to share photos you've taken at family reunions or those catchup brunches with your loved ones. Apple announced at WWDC 2022 a new iCloud Shared Photo Library that syncs edits, additions, and deletions across devices and those you share this library with. So any cool changes your creative sibling has done, you can now share, too.

There will be a new toggle in the Camera app that lets you automatically share an image to the album in case you might forget to do it later. You'll even get suggestions when someone in your Shared Photo Library appears in a photo you've taken. Any user with access to the Shared Photo Library can add, delete, edit, or favourite the shared photos or videos. It will also appear in everyone's Memories and Featured Photos, so you can relive those family moments together.

Apple will let you edit or unsend an iMessage in iOS 16

Apple

One of the new iOS 16 features will allow you to unsend or edit a message after sending them. But this only works if you're sending a message to another iOS 16 user. And you can only edit or unsend a message up to 15 minutes after it's been sent. After that, it will be uneditable or can no longer be unsent. Those running iOS 15 or earlier won't get this feature. And they might even see the messages you have unsent even if it's no longer visible from your end. 

To edit or unsend a message, you need to long-press on the specific line in your conversation and tap on either Edit or Undo Send. As MacRumors pointed out, these features will only be available to blue bubble iMessages and not the green SMS messages.

Turn your iPhone into your webcam with this Apple feature

Apple

One of the new features Apple introduced at WWDC 2022 turns your iPhone camera into your MacBook's webcam. This Continuity Camera feature is coming to macOS Ventura, the upcoming macOS update. Apple is working with Belkin to create mounts allowing you to clip your iPhone at the top of your MacBook. It's not the most elegant solution, but this means you get better video call quality on your next FaceTime, Zoom, WebEx, or Microsoft Teams calls.

Another way this feature can be used is through a table view, where you can angle your iPhone to shoot a surface. This will come in handy when you want to demonstrate something. We aren't sure how this will work, but we're excited to see it in action. Apple plans to release the Continuity Camera feature later this year, with existing devices expected to support this through a software update.

Apple introduces new dual USB-C 35W power adapter

Apple

Apple has officially taken off the wraps on its first power adapter with two USB-C ports. The Apple 35W Dual USB-C Port Adapter comes in two options. There's a regular and compact version. The standard looks like a MacBook power brick, while the compact option can hide the electrical prongs when not in use. Having two USB-C ports will allow you to charge two devices at once.

As 9to5Mac pointed out, this means you can charge the iPhone 13 Pro Max at its fastest 27W charging while also topping up another accessory like the Apple Watch.
