Last year, SharePlay, Digital IDs in the Wallet app, and Universal Control were among several features in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 that weren’t available in their initial release, and took several months to roll out to users. Apple previewed each of the following features when it announced iOS 16 at WWDC earlier this year, but they won’t be present in iOS 16.0 when it’s released to the public tomorrow:

Live Activities: Track the activities happening in real time, like a sports match or a sharing with a glance on the lock screen. Third-party apps and app clips can implement support thanks to the Live Activities API. SharePlay Game Center Support: Games that use Game Center multiplayer support have SharePlay integration. You can automatically start playing with friends in a FaceTime call. Game Center Contacts Integration: Contacts displays the Game Center profiles of your friends. Tap to see what they’re playing and achieving in games. Support for Matter: The new smart home connectivity standard that allows compatible accessories to work together seamlessly across all platforms. Matter lets users choose from even more compatible smart home accessories and control them with the Home app and Siri on Apple devices. Updated architecture for the Home app: Improvements to the underlying architecture of the Home app for faster, more reliable performance and improved performance, especially for homes with many accessories and multiple controller devices. Freeform App: A new digital whiteboard app with a flexible canvas for project diagramming, pivoting, and brainstorming, with real-time collaboration capabilities and rich media support. Shared iCloud Photo Library: A new option in the Photos app that lets users create a shared photo library and invite anyone with an Apple ID to view, contribute to, and edit it, including favorite image and adding captions. There are no restrictions and all participants have the same rights, making it ideal for families. Key Sharing: The ability to securely share keys in Apple Wallet via messaging and mail apps. Set up Easy Shortcuts for iPhone 8, iPhone 8 Plus and iPhone X: Siri can perform shortcuts from installed apps without any installation process (to be available for newer devices immediately without delay).

iCloud Shared Photo Library became the latest feature to be delayed following Apple’s “Far out” event earlier this week, but all other delays were known during the initial preview of iOS 16 at WWDC. Apple says all of these features are coming in an update to iOS 16 later this year, but has yet to offer a more specific timeline for any of them. After months of beta testing, iOS 16.0 will officially become available for download on every compatible iPhone tomorrow. For a detailed breakdown of all the new features in iOS 16, check out our comprehensive roundup.
