Apple: The updates include a hardcore new security feature and wallpaper to honor Black History Month.

The latest iOS update, iOS 16.3, began rolling out to iPhone users on Monday. With this update, Apple brings some small but noteworthy changes and new features to the app. The company is also providing users with a new wallpaper option in honor of Black History Month.

Let's take a quick look at some of the features iOS 16.3 is bringing to your mobile device.

 The biggest new feature is the Security Keys option, which allows users to require a physical security key when setting up a new device or resetting their passwords. The physical security key would replace the verification codes sent to your existing devices as part of the two-factor authentication process. According to Apple, the feature will only work with third-party hardware that is FIDO certified

If you ever find yourself needing to use Apple's Emergency SOS with Satellite option, the latest update provides a new way to do so. Users will need to hold down the side button plus one of the volume control buttons and then release the buttons after a short countdown. This new feature seems to address the issue of accidental use of the Emergency SOS feature.

In addition to these changes and new features, Apple is including a new iPhone wallpaper as part of its Black Unity collection to celebrate Black History Month.

The new iOS 16.3 also brings support for the new Homepod 2, which hit stores next month.
