FULL STORY
======================================================================

Apples iOS 16.3.1 update brought basic bug fixes to iCloud and Siri, but the 
companys next software patch, iOS 16.4, looks set to introduce more tangible 
improvements to the ways in which your iPhone handles everyday tasks. 

Among the features set to arrive with iOS 16.4 is Voice Isolation; a neat 
little tool that blocks out ambient noise during cellular calls to prioritize 
the quality of your voice. In other words, youll soon be able to better hear 
the person you're chatting with over the phone, and theyll be able to better 
hear you too. 

Voice Isolation is actually a feature thats been available for some time on 
VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) calls, made through apps like WhatsApp, 
but Apple says the tool will finally be making its way to cellular iPhone 
calls with iOS 16.4, which is expected to begin rolling out "later this 
Spring" (in other words, sometime between March and June 2023). 

Apple has also confirmed that Voice Isolation will be compatible with every 
iPhone model released alongside or after the iPhone SE (2020 ), so every one 
of the best iPhones looks set to benefit from the helpful feature. 

Once iOS 16.4 does arrive, Voice Isolation can be activated by swiping down 
the top right of the screen (to access the Control Center), tapping Mic Mode, 
then Voice Isolation. Thankfully, the feature will remain active for future 
calls, so you wont need to repeat the above process every time. Voice 
Isolation can be activated via the Control Center during a phone call (Image

Other features expected to arrive with iOS 16.4 include push notifications 
for web apps, a ton of new emojis, an improved Podcasts app and bug fixes for 
Apple HomeKit . Weve rounded up five super-useful features coming to your 
iPhone in iOS 16.4 in a separate article, so head there for a more detailed 
breakdown.
