- New Emoji: iOS 16.4 adds 21 new emoji, including a shaking face, a heart in three new color options, a jellyfish, and more.

- Podcasts app improvements: iOS 16.4 introduces several new features to Apple’s Podcasts app across iPhone and CarPlay for cars. The new Channels menu in the Podcasts app provides a list of broadcast channels in one place, while the next menu contains episodes you’ve saved to the library.
CarPlay also offers access to Next Queues and Recently Played, along with podcast recommendations from the “Listen Now” tab in the “Browse” or “Explore” tab.
- Sound Isolation on Mobile Calls: iOS 16.4 introduces sound isolation during phone calls over cellular networks. When this feature is activated, the mobile will block the noise around you so that your voice can be heard clearly during a call. Voice Isolation provides isolation for Wi-Fi calls in apps like FaceTime and WhatsApp.
- Find duplicate photos in iCloud Photo Library: Starting with iOS 16.4, the Photos app can find duplicate photos and videos in iCloud Photo Library. Copies can be merged to save storage space.
