Recently, Apple released iOS 16.4 to everyone which includes 21 new emojis, Voice Isolation for cellular calls, Notifications for web apps on the Home Screen, and more. However, a few other features are also found in the latest update which Apple did not include in its release notes.
It is found that iOS 16.4 has added a new order tracking widget to the Home Screen for Apple Pay purchases.
In iOS 16, Apple introduced Order Tracking in the Wallet app that allows users to track all orders made via Apple Pay from participating apps or websites on their iPhone, iPad, or Mac. They can view information like order number and amount, order status, estimated arrival time, even contact participant merchants directly from the Wallet app, and more.
Now, Apple has made order tracking more convenient with the new Home Screen widget.
