Many websites use CAPTCHAs to make users prove they are not bots. Sure, this effort increases cyber security, but it can be pretty annoying at times. However, there’s good news for iPhone users, you will not have to deal with as many annoying CAPTCHAs because iOS 16 will come with a new feature that will let users bypass CAPTCHAs in supported apps and websites.
According to MacRumors, Apple will be introducing a new feature for its iOS16, iPadOS 16, and MacOS Ventura called Automatic Verification. This feature will let some websites and apps know that you’re a human without you actually having to solve the CAPTCHA.
The report claims Apple has revealed details about how this feature will work in a developer video as part of WWDC 2022. The feature can be found in the Settings under Apple ID> Password & Security > Automatic Verification. Apple claims iCloud will automatically and privately verify your device and Apple ID account when you enable this new feature, thereby eliminating the need to complete CAPTCHA verifications on apps and websites.

Apple has partnered with two major content delivery networks (CDN)– Fastly and Cloudflare, to develop the system. These two CDNs are used by the majority of websites meaning that the ability to bypass CAPTCHAs may be coming to millions of apps and websites powered by either of the services. Moreover, the feature will roll out more widely in the near future.
This feature is enabled by default in the developer’s beta iOS 16 and iPadOS 16. The feature is also supported in macOS Ventura. The upcoming Apple software updates are still under development and are expected to roll out this fall.

One interesting feature offered with the premium tier is the Voice-to-Text feature which is capable of converting voice messages into text messages making it pretty convenient for instances when you receive a voice note that you can currently listen to. Other than that, users get access to exclusive premium stickers, an animated profile picture, a premium badge, and much more. And of course, premium users will also stop seeing ads that sometimes appear in public groups in certain countries.
