So, when <a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/1435809\/ios-16-3-features-security-release-install.html\">iOS 16.3<\/a> was released back on January 23, we expected the 16.4 beta to begin on January 24. It\u2019s unusual, but iOS 16.4\u2019s first beta release finally arrived on February 16, over three weeks later. Its contemporaries (iPadOS 16.4, watchOS 9.4, and macOS 13.3) also entered beta at the same time. We expect a final release of iOS 16.4 will likely come in March, possibly at Apple\u2019s spring event.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ios-16-4-new-features\">iOS 16.4: New features<\/h2>\n<p>Here are some of the significant changes and additions in iOS 16.4. We will continue to update this section as more changes are discovered.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New emoji:<\/strong> This release adds the emoji that are part of the Unicode 15.0 standard. They include a shaking face (side to side, like \u201cno\u201d), several heart colors, left and right pushing hands, several new animals (moose, goose, jellyfish), a few food items, and a few musical instruments.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Web push notifications:<\/strong> This release adds support for web push notifications. Web apps saved to the home screen can send system notifications through the Push API, Notifications API, and Service Workers by using the standard HTML5 Web Push API. Websites have to ask for permission just as apps do, and it has to be in response to a user action (like tapping a \u201csubscribe\u201d button or the like).<\/p>\n<p><strong>Easier beta participation:<\/strong> If your device is registered as a beta tester, you can open <em>Settings<\/em> > <em>General<\/em> > <em>Software Updates<\/em> and a new menu allows you to select whether you want no beta updates, Developer Beta updates (if applicable), or Public Beta updates.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Home architecture upgrade:<\/strong> The Home architecture upgrade that was pulled from the iOS 16.2 release is back in iOS 16.4. This is separate from the upgraded Home app, which has remained.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New Podcasts app:<\/strong> A new Podcasts app across iPhone, iPad, and CarPlay improves the Up Next queue and adds features like episode filtering and the ability to browse by season.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ios-16-4-release-date\">iOS 16.4: Release date<\/h2>\n<p>We don\u2019t expect iOS 16.4 to release until at least late February, or possibly March. Apple is rumored to be holding a spring event that could coincide with the release of the full version of the update.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"ios-16-4-how-to-install-the-public-beta\">iOS 16.4: How to install the public beta<\/h2>\n<p>This is the version of iOS 16.3 that most of us will be running ahead of launch, since the developer beta is, as the name suggests, for registered developers only.<\/p>\n<p>When the public beta of iOS 16 does come out, you\u2019ll be able to install it using the following instructions.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Click Sign Up on the\u00a0\u00a0and register with your Apple ID.<\/li>\n<li>Log in to the Beta Software Program.<\/li>\n<li>Click\u00a0<em>Enroll your iOS device<\/em>.

Go to\u00a0<em>General<\/em>\u00a0>\u00a0<em>VPN and Device Management<\/em>\u00a0and tap on the iOS 16 beta profile there.<\/li>\n<li>That will make the beta version available in the\u00a0Settings\u00a0app, under\u00a0<em>General<\/em>\u00a0>\u00a0<em>Software Update<\/em>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><strong>How to install the iOS 16.4 Developer beta<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Each stage of iOS 16.3\u2019s development cycle will be rolled out to developers first, and then to public beta testers afterwards (typically within a day or so). If you\u2019re a developer and need to test your apps against the most up-to-date version of the OS possible, this is the version to run.<\/p>\n<p>First, check that your device is compatible.

They are by definition unfinished, and while they should include most or all of the features in the finished product, there will be cosmetic differences and, inevitably, some bugs and other issues that will need to be fixed during the development process.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, don\u2019t expect a perfect user experience. In particular, some existing apps (including ones that you may rely on) might not work perfectly with the new version. In extreme cases, you may even find that your device is bricked by the beta, and cannot be used until the next beta comes along. It\u2019s not uncommon for early beta software to exhibit problems like excessive battery drain as well.<\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t stress enough how important it is to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/671444\/how-to-back-up-an-iphone-or-ipad.html\">back up your iPhone<\/a>\u00a0before you install a beta on your device, or better still, use a secondary device rather than your main iPhone or iPad.<\/p>\n<p><\/body><\/div>\n<div data-ga=\"article-footer-author\">\n<h3>\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/author\/jcross\" rel=\"author\"><br \/>\n\t\tAuthor: Jason Cross<\/a>, Senior Editor\t\t<\/h3>\n<div>\n<div>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/author_photo_Jason-Cross_1654577117-68.jpeg?quality=50&#038;strip=all&#038;w=150&#038;h=150&#038;crop=1\" height=\"125\" width=\"125\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>I have written about technology for my entire professional life &#8211; over 25 years.
