Apple iOS 16 Battery Life Affected by Keyboard Haptics

Apple has had a busy September 2022 where aside from the launch of iPhone 14 series of smartphones, it also came out with the brand new iOS 16 for the smartphones on September 12, 2022.

Apple iOS 16 is now available for everyone that uses iPhone 8 or newer models but the going hasn’t been smooth for the new generation operating system as many users have complained about batteries draining at a much quicker pace than usual.

The issue was sorted out immediately as restarting the device did the trick but after the problem came out in the open, Apple advised its users to be cautious about the new feature on their iOS 16 operating system, which, they claim, might affect the battery life of their iPhone.

The feature in question is the Haptic Feedback that can be found on the default keyboard of iOS 16 and if it is enabled on the smartphone it starts vibrating a little whenever a keypad is tapped while typing, which confirms to the user that the key has been tapped successfully.

However, Apple has not mentioned anything apart from this, which has left many users confused as to how much battery life is liable to be consumed by this feature and since haptic feedback is not yet deactivated in Low Power Mode, they can either turn it off completely or keep it enabled so that it drains out all the battery.

Instagram Site Goes Down Throughout the Globe

Instagram is one of the most popular social networking services in the world that we have today, along with Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube, that has taken over the imagination  of the millennial generation that no one would have ever guessed.

The service is subscribed by millions of users worldwide where almost every second an individual posts some image or popular quote on his/her Instagram handle along with the regular stories that their followers can see.

But just like any other platform, Instagram too has been vulnerable to outages due to which the site has been down on many occasions for many users. The same happened again very recently when many users complained about their feed not working, people were unable to see check their DMs, among others.

Around 70% outage reports on Instagram were for app crashes, while nearly 27% were for server connection, and the rest were for difficulty of users to login to their Instagram accounts.

This isn’t the first time that users are facing difficulties in operating their Instagram accounts as such problems pop up every now and then but Meta is definitely looking into the matter and hopes to sort it out very soon.
