IOS 16.4 is now available

Boosts of Apple’s IOS 16.4 are coming out. iOS 16.4 is now available for everyone: Here’s what’s new from Mac Rumors talks about the things that are new including emogies and voice isolation being two of them.

One of the 9 items in here does talk about accessibility changes. It says:

• VoiceOver support for maps in the Weather app

I will definitely have to check this one out.

One of the biggest things that might help those who experience seizures is an item about dimming video when flashes of light are detected. That item in the list says:

• Accessibility setting to automatically dim video when flashes of light or strobe effects are detected

This is Apple Vis’s blog post on the topic which does quote the above article but also highlight other fixes that are documented that seem to be resolved for blind and low vision users.

Please feel free to check out these articles and apply the update when it is practical to do so.

Thanks again for reading and thanks for also listening to our programming.
