More details of the upcoming release of iOS 16.3 are becoming clear. Remember, none of these extra features is possible without iOS 16.3, which is required.


I have to remind myself that they’ve shared this information so I don’t conclude there’s something slightly creepy about this.Īnd the new software even has benefits for those who have the first-generation HomePod: 16.3 leads to updated volume controls, specifically to provide more granular volume adjustments at lower volumes. You’ll be able to turn to your HomePod and ask Siri to tell you the whereabouts of your friends or family, those who have shared their location with you, that is.

Another feature, again only possible with iOS 16.3 in place, is enhanced Find My.
