iPhone iOS 16 trick #1 – Lock Notes with Passcode
You can now easily passcode-protect your Notes app.
That’s great, as you might be storing private info in there – like birthday gift ideas or a personal diary.
Open Settings and then go to Notes.
From there, you’ll be able to set up a passcode for notes.
It’s also possible to hold down your finger on a note in the Notes app and specifically lock an individual note.

iPhone iOS 16 trick #2 – Multiple stops
You can now add multiple stops while navigating on Apple Maps.
It’s possible to add as many stops as you like.
That makes it very easy to plan a complicated journey on Apple Maps.
It means it’s now much easier to ditch Google Maps for its Apple rival.
iPhone iOS 16 trick #3 – Haptic typing
Finally! It’s possible to get “haptic” feedback when typing on an iPhone keyboard.

Go to Settings > Sound & Haptics and then toggle Haptic on for your iPhone Keyboard Feedback.
