Apple is reportedly going to introduce filter extensions for messages in 12 sub-categories including Finance, Reminders, Orders, Health, Public Services, Weather, Carrier, Rewards, and more within Transactions and Promotions on iOS 16 only for the Indian users.
This update will allow developers to incorporate these filters to classify non-personal messages into the sub-categories. Apple's SMS filter is already available in India and Brazil for limited categories. The tech giant announced iOS 16 during its WWDC keynote this year with new Lock Screen that supports widgets and customisations.
With this feature, Indian iPhone users will get updates about events such as a movie or a track ticket booking as Siri suggests in message threads, and in Calendar inbox. With iOS 16, users in the US will be able to flag the spam messages to carriers with a new Report Junk feature. The feature is said to be available only with select carriers.
Apple is also going to add support for backing up data over LTE/4G network in iOS 16 for iPhone and iPad users. With this new support feature, users can now choose to back up their iPhones or iPads using 4G, 5G, or Wi-Fi connection. Backing up over a 4G connection might be slow but the added choice can come in handy.
