The iOS 16 took the centerstage at the WWDC 2022 even hosted a while ago. Apple released the iOS 16 with some major improvements over the previous-gen versions including the iOS 15 which is currently the backbone of the iPhone 13 series. Apple not just introduced a facelift with the iOS 16 but has also added multiple new features to the new-generation firmware for the upcoming iPhone 14 series and the supported older models. If you have one of the latest iPhones, you can also download and install the iOS 16 beta version and test all the latest features being added to the OS.

We have previously covered the steps to download and use the iOS 16 beta version on eligible phones. Now, we are back with another tips and tricks article where we will be discussing one of the latest features that have been released for the iOS 16 beta version. You will now be able to add up to 15 different stops with the iOS 16. What factors do you need to keep in mind and how can you add multiple stops on a route using the default Maps app on eligible iPhones? Read on to know:

iOS 16 Lets You Add Multiple Stops In Default Maps App

Apple had introduced multiple new features with iOS 16 and Maps isn’t left behind. The option to add up to 15 different stops has now been made possible with the latest iOS beta version. You can make the changes to the stops before starting with your trips on Apple Maps. You just need to enter the destination to where you are traveling and then add the required stops in between the transit route. The steps for the same aren’t tricky and can easily be applied while using iOS 16-powered iPhones. Take a look below:

Step 1: Launch the default Maps app on your respective iPhones. Make sure the device is running on the iOS 16 beta build. Update your phone to the latest build version so that you can use this feature.

Step 2: In the search bar, enter the destination where you wish to travel.

Step 3: Select the driving option. This is the only transit mode where you will be able to add multiple stops to the destination. This feature is currently not supported with public, and bike transit modes. We are not sure if Apple will add this support with the stable iOS 16 version.

Step 4: Add the first stop. To do so, locate the first stop on the map. You can also use the search bar for the same and then select the location.

Step 5: Select the blue direction arrow under the location option.

Step 6: You will see the Add option right above the Routes tab. Tap on it and your first stop is added.

Step 7: Do the same to add the next stops. Only 15 stops can be added to the transit route as of now.

Step 8: If you wish to edit or re-arrange the route then drag the stop by clicking on the menu (three lines option). That’s it. You are all set.

Just to recap, Apple had also added the estimated transit fares on Maps with iOS 16. Another key feature released includes the option to share locations from Mac laptops or PCs to iPhones.

The Next Generation Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler Is Here: Check All Details

Key Highlights

  • Dyson Airwrap multi-styler launched in India
  • It is re-engineered for faster, easier styling
  • Airwrap multi-styler is priced at Rs. 45,900

Since most people cannot afford the luxury of a professional hairstyle, the next best thing is to equip yourself with dependable, effective hair products to use at home. In order to better serve the Indian market, Dyson today introduces the next generation of the Airwrap multi-styler.

Curls and waves can be achieved more quickly and easily with the next-generation styling barrels’ spinning cool tip and without risking heat damage. Users can now style the full head, creating both clockwise and counterclockwise curls and waves. And this, without having to switch attachment mid-style thanks to the combination of the results previously obtained with two barrels into one attachment.

For the first time, the existing Dyson Airwrap styler owners can upgrade to these modern attachments while keeping their original unit. This is based on the sustainable mindset adopted throughout the development of the machine. Designing in the digital world reduces reliance on physical prototypes and dramatically reduces energy and material consumption.

Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler: Efficient Engineering

The motor in the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler drives the device through to increased effectiveness and performance, ultimately leading to less energy consumption.

The Coanda effect, which enables users to curl, wave, smooth, and dry hair without the need for severe heat, is at the core of the Airwrap story. This effect is powered by a rapid, high-pressure motor. When air is driven at the proper speed and pressure, it naturally follows an adjacent surface, entraining the surrounding air and its accompanying hair in the Coanda phenomenon.

The Dyson Airwrap multi-styler reduces the need for intense heat and protects the hair from unnecessary damage by providing wet to dry styling using powerful and accurate airflow on damp (80 percent dry) hair.

An all-new dual-purpose Coanda smoothing dryer and redesigned brush attachments enable precision shaping with improved Coanda performance. The Coanda smoothing dryer, which combines two attachments into one, conceals flyaways in a single pass without using severe heat and switches from a strong drier to a smoothing dryer with the flip of a switch.

Dyson Airwrap Multi-Styler: Price And Availability

The new Dyson Airwrap multi-styler will be sold for Rs. 45,900 from August 3, 2022. The new attachments are entirely compatible with current machines. Owners can upgrade their complete set of attachments for Rs. 14,900. To buy, you can visit the Dyson Demo shops and experience the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler.
