Apple started beta testing iOS 16.6 by the end of May. Two months later, the Cupertino firm is now releasing it to all users.

iOS 16.5 brings the highly-requested My Sports tab to Apple News. You can follow your favorite sports, teams, leagues, and athletes there. It’s also possible to access scores, schedules, and standings for the top professional and college leagues. While users can ask for quite some time for Siri to take a screenshot of the iPhone screen, iOS 16.5 makes it possible for the assistant to start a screen recording for the first time.

Unfortunately, iOS 16.6 doesn’t add anything visual to the table. As said above, Apple was testing Contact Key Verification, which was first announced by the company at the end of 2022, alongside Security Keys for Apple ID and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud. Message Contact Key Verification lets users verify if they are communicating only with whom they intend. This is especially helpful for journalists, human rights activists, and government members.

Apple says that “conversations between users who have enabled iMessage Contact Key Verification receive automatic alerts if an exceptionally advanced adversary, such as a state-sponsored attacker, were ever to succeed breaching cloud servers and inserting their own device to eavesdrop on these encrypted communications. And for even higher security, iMessage Contact Key Verification users can compare a Contact Verification Code in person, on FaceTime, or through another secure call.
