Apple has rolled out its latest major update for iOS devices. Update 16.4 brings the latest suite of changes, additions, and improvements for iPhones, iPads, and other Apple iOS devices. This new update expands emergency SOS features on iOS devices, as well as new Apple Developer Program beta capabilities. Outside of that, there were numerous bug fixes, a wealth of UI tweaks, and the addition of a few new minor features, including new emotes.
Apple released details about iOS Update 16.4 on its developer pages on March 27, 2023. There isn’t anything particularly huge in this update.
