In July, the average cost of in-app purchases (IAPs) soared 40 per cent year over year (YoY) on the iOS App Store, which is assumed to be as a result of privacy improvements, but only 9 per cent on the Google Play store.

Books appeared to be in the top five lists of price rises on both iOS and Google Play, with some other categories experiencing bigger price increases than others.

On the Google App Store, navigation had a near rating of 88 per cent, while social networking had a decrease of two per cent.

Food and drinks ranked highest on Google Play, at 50 per cent.

Individuals are witnessing price increases practically everywhere, citing data from Apptopia, an app intelligence company, with the consumer price index in the United States rising 8.5 per cent year over year.

Apptopia's report stated, "The rise on iOS comes much before inflation (not the case for Google Play) hits hard in 2022, indicating publishers may actually be reacting to increased effective cost per install (eCPI) due to Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) policies making it more expensive to acquire users," IANS reported.

The in-app purchases climbed significantly more than the monthly or yearly purchases. While annual and monthly in-app purchases saw an increase of 19 per cent in price, the average price of an iOS single purchase increased by 36 per cent.

"Publishers are trying to present a value and hook customers for longer to cut down on acquisition costs," Adam Blacker, VP, Insights, said, IANS reported.&nbsp;

iMessages can finally be edited and deleted within 15 minutes of being sent

Apple, the tech giant, has launched iOS 16 to make your iPhones feel more like a personal device, which includes the biggest update to the Lock Screen ever, the ability to edit and combine messages, news tools in Mail, and various other ways to work with images and videos through Live Text and Visual Look Up.&nbsp;

In iOS 16, the Lock Screen has been completely redesigned. It now has a new depth effect that artisically places objects in front of the time, expressive type styles and colour schemes that can alter how the date and time appear, and widgets that can provide quick access to information.&nbsp;

According to the firm, users can now opt to view notifications in an enlarged list or scroll through them. It said, "Redesigned notifications now roll in from the bottom to offer a clear view of the Lock Screen, and users can choose to view notifications in an expanded list, stacked, or as a count view," CanIndia reported.

Apps like Calendar, Mail, and Messages can display Focus filters to display the content that is relevant to the user's focus. To make the conversation more effective, message updates now allow users to edit, delete, and mark conversations as unread. Another feature in messages is Remind Later, where users can also make reminders to return to messages later.

In order to enjoy music and movies with shared playback controls, users may now invite friends and family to SharePlay using Messages.

Apple said, "It has been designed to replace passwords, passkeys use Touch ID or Face ID for biometric verification, and iCloud Keychain to sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV with end-to-end encryption."

In addition, Visual Look Up will now help recognise birds, insects, spiders, and statues, making it easier for users to learn about more things.

Apple will launch iCloud Shared Photo Library in a subsequent update to allow users a new option to share photos seamlessly with their own iCloud library that up to six users can work on, add to, and enjoy.

Apple launches iOS 16 with some of the biggest updates to Lock Screen

Apple unveiled its much-anticipated iOS16 at this year’s WWDC, offering a glimpse of what is to be expected from the new update. As expected, the announcement did not disappoint the iPhone users as iOS16 had some important and cool new features. In the new updates, iPhones will have an all-new LockScreen, iCloud Shared Photo Library, updates to Messages and Mail and more. iOS 16 will most likely be released in September alongside the upcoming iPhone 14 and&nbsp;will be available for the iPhone 8 and above. However, developers can download the software now.

Here are all the important new features coming to iPhones later this year.

Messages

It is unknown whether this new feature would sway people away from WhatsApp, but it can certainly pose problems for the Meta-owned messaging app.

"Embarrassing typos are a thing of the past," said Apple Senior Vice President of Software Engineering Craig Federighi as he introduced three of the most requested features for the Messages app.

iPhone users can now edit and undo messages in iOS16. So, if you notice a typo after sending a message, you'll be able to edit it. A tiny "edited" appears in the status under the message.

The next new feature is that you can immediately recall a sent message. This feature works by long pressing the text which will then be prompted by many options. Among them, you have to press ‘Undo Send’ to prevent it from being read.

Lastly, you can now mark messages and threads as unread. It will help you to respond to a message sometime later.

New customisable lock screen

Taking a leaf out of the Android, iPhone users can now customise the lock screen in their iPhones, by adding more widgets. This much-needed feature makes it easy to get information at a glance, such as upcoming calendar events, the weather, battery levels, alarms, time zones, activity ring progress, and more. You can also change the colour of the background photo and also the font on the lock screen.

Lock Screen comes with new&nbsp;gallery

The new Lock Screen gallery will feature a range of options, from a weather wallpaper to see live weather conditions, an Astronomy wallpaper for views of the Earth, Moon, and solar system and more. Users can also create Lock Screens using their favourite emoji or colour combinations. With multiple Lock Screens, users can switch between their favourites with just a swipe.

Notifications and live activities

One of the problems that users faced were the clunky notifications that would pop up on the home screen.

iOS 15 introduced “summaries”, which went a long way towards helping the situation, but they pale in comparison to Android.

In iO16, Apple seems to have addressed the issue in a major way. Under the new software update, notifications have been moved to the bottom of your display. Once you receive them, instead of being compiled into a list, they appear like a vertical carousel. This not only looks better but should be a big help for one-handed use of your iPhone.

There’s also a cool new feature called Live Activities which makes it easier to follow sporting events, workouts or even the progress of an Uber ride.

Wallet and Apple Pay Later

ID cards from more states will be available in your Wallet app along with more security and privacy features. In iOS 16 you can also protect your identity and age. So rather than showing your exact birth date, the Wallet app will display your ID and that you're over 21.

iOS 16 makes sharing keys easier with apps like Mail and Messages.

Apple Maps gets multi-stop routing

Apple Maps is introducing multi-stop routing, so users can plan up to 15 stops in advance and automatically sync routes from Mac to iPhone when they’re ready to go. Maps is also bringing transit updates to users, making it easy for riders to view how much their journey will cost, add transit cards to Wallet, see low balances, and replenish transit cards, all without leaving Maps.

Siri gets the ability to run shortcuts

Siri adds the ability to run shortcuts as soon as an app is downloaded without requiring upfront setup. Users can add emoji when sending a message, choose to send messages automatically — skipping the confirmation step — and hang up the phone and FaceTime calls completely hands-free by simply saying “Hey Siri, hang up.”

iOS16: Here are all the important features coming to iPhones this year

Apple has highlighted a minor but significant new feature that allows a person to secure their iPhone from an abusive partner.Known as 'Safety Check,' it allows a user to rapidly revoke all permissions granted to another person on their phone.

This could involve accessing a person's whereabouts or passwords to numerous personal accounts. While giving access to these items may be beneficial in many situations, Apple has explicitly identified the risk it poses to someone living in an unsafe environment at home.

"Safety Check, a new privacy tool, can aid customers whose personal safety is threatened by domestic or intimate partner violence by rapidly revoking all access they've authorised to others,' said the company.&nbsp;

‘It includes an emergency reset that helps users easily sign out of iCloud on all their other devices, reset privacy permissions, and limit messaging to just the device in their hand.

‘It also helps users understand and manage which people and apps they’ve given access to.’

<div class="ui-state-default" contenteditable="false">

<a class="close-mark close-div" href="#" id="jqclosemark">×</a></div>

Users can use Safety Check to monitor app access and passwords, as well as find out who has their passwords and personal information. It will make it easier for people in abusive situations to terminate links with their abusive partners across devices. They can accomplish this by assessing and revoking access for specific individuals. Find My, location, data, contacts, and other apps fall under this category. You can also utilise the Emergency Reset function, which resets access for all individuals and apps on all of your iCloud-connected devices at once. You may also use this function to check your security settings.
