From NI to tax cuts – what the chancellor of the exchequer could announce at his first fiscal event

Apple’s (AAPL) iOS 16 is finally here. The software update, which automatically downloads and installs to your phone while it charges on your nightstand overnight, brings a litany of big changes to your iPhone.

There's no denying that the update is impressive for iPhone owners.

Users will experience a redesigned lock screen, complete with widgets for everything from the weather to your activity. The update also features the ability to track your medication and improved photo editing tools.

But the software’s most buzzed-about new feature is the ability to edit and un-send text messages. Yes, you can fix grammatical errors, retract spicy texts you might have sent in haste, and finally change “duck” to the word you meant to send.

It’s a powerful tool, especially when combined with the new option that lets you mark your previously read texts as unread. But don’t think you can fire off heated texts and quickly pull them back or change what you originally sent without consequence.

That’s because Apple included a specific caveat to its new feature that tells users when someone has unsent or edited a text they sent to them.

So no, the text edit and retraction feature isn’t a get-out-of-jail-free card. You can’t launch texts at people like cruise missiles without leaving debris in their inboxes.

What’s more, if the person you try to retract a text from doesn’t have iOS 16 installed, they’ll still see your text message.

Still, Apple’s latest innovation is worth using when you need to fix a text you forgot to proofread or need to change the time for a meetup. Here’s how to use it.

Deleting or editing a text is incredibly straightforward. You have to go to the text you want to delete or edit, long press it, and wait for the pop-up menu to appear.

From there you can choose the Edit or Undo Send button depending on what you want to do with your message. You can edit messages five times for up to 15 minutes after you send them.

After that, they’re permanent.

As for un-sending tests, you’ll have just two minutes to pull them back if you don’t want someone to see that message you fired off a bit too quickly.

In other words, Apple’s texting update isn’t going to let you send nasty texts and then delete them as if they never existed, and you won’t be able to edit them to change what you previously said without anyone knowing.

For everyone else who just wants to change “duck” in their texts, the new text message editing and deleting tool is a more than welcomed change.

Critics have said that LIV Golf, backed by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, amounts to "sportswashing" by a nation trying to improve its reputation in the face of criticism over its human rights record. Apple and Amazon's lack of interest in the circuit adds to a growing list of networks with which LIV hasn't been able to strike a deal, including Walt Disney Co's ESPN and Comcast Corp's NBC, the report added.

LONDON (Reuters) -Shell said on Friday it was "unaffected" by the German government's decision to place the PCK Schwedt oil refinery under a trusteeship, effectively taking control away from Russian majority owner Rosneft. It is unclear who will step in to replace Rosneft as operator of the 233,000 barrel per day refinery, which Shell has sought to sell out of. "Shell remains unaffected by this order as a 37.5% shareholder in PCK Schwedt and will continue to comply with its contractual obligations in accordance with its own shares," Shell said in an emailed statement.

WARSAW/BERLIN (Reuters) -Polish refiner PKN Orlen is interested in taking a controlling stake in the PCK Schwedt refinery that Germany has placed under a trusteeship, effectively removing control from Russia's Rosneft, sources in Berlin and Warsaw familiar with the matter told Reuters on Friday.Warsaw said earlier this year that ending Russian ownership of the refinery was a condition for potentially supplying it with sea-borne oil via a terminal in Gdansk and via Polish pipelines to replace Russian crude. State-controlled PKN Orlen declined to comment, saying it announces planned or implemented projects and investments when decisions are made. The refinery, which was majority-owned by Rosneft, has been testing Germany's resolve to eliminate imports of oil from Russia by the end of the year under European sanctions to punish Moscow for its invasion of Ukraine.
