iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 betas to developers. Apple has released the beta 1 of iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 to developers, and among the novelties of this release there is support for push notifications of web pages, a technology that allows sites to send short information (notices) via browser , a feature that Apple already promised last year, announcing iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, explaining that it would be implemented in 2023.

Users can choose to receive notifications of sites saved as a web app on the Home Screen (with a website icon on the Home screen) even from iOS and iPadOS, a feature possible for developers using the Push API, those for Notifications and worker servers (scripts that the browser can run in the background).
Notifications for websites will work the same as notifications for apps, either in a list or grouped on the lock screen. Another novelty of the version of Safari integrated in iOS 16.4 is the support for notifications taking into account full immersion (the feature that allows you to minimize distractions).
In the beta of iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 we also find new Unicode 15 emojis, with emojis such as: the flickering face, pink heart, blue heart, donkey, moose, goose, wing, jellyfish, hyacinth aquatic, pod, ginger, flute, maracas, crow and more.
Other innovations integrated into iOS 16.4 and iPadOS 16.4 concern the Podcasts app, with a list of channels that can be consulted from a single point, news for podcast creators, and the Up Next function, with episodes that may be of interest for listeners and features to automatically save these to the library
As always, registered developers can download iOS 16 beta and iPadOS 16 beta profiles from the Apple Developer Center and, after installing the profile, install the update with the usual over-the-air mechanism.
