I wish there was a way to completely mute vocals with Sing. It should theoretically be possible with Dolby Atmos tracks because all they would have to do is mute the vocal stem. But I realize non-Dolby atmos tracks don't have the stems, so it would be difficult.
On the bright side, it's very easy to make your own instrumentals of Dolby Atmos tracks.

Ahhh!! They released it! Best Christmas EVER!!!!!
Good thing you shared proof. We'd be skeptical otherwise...
So glad we can update over cellular. Almost done installing.
Excellent. I just updated my iPad but I’m not seeing any notification about the update to the Home app requiring all devices to be upgraded. Did the Home app update get removed from the initial 16.2 release?
*Edit*
HomePods need to be updated first.

Still can’t enable advanced data protection, I get the error “something went wrong, try again later.” I had to remove iCloud from my PC, which I did and I have a recovery key setup. Not sure what the issue is but it happens on both my phone and iPad.

Didn't see "fixed garbage Wi-Fi on iPad 9" :C

So glad to update. My office is FREEZING 🥶, now the warmth from the iOS update is thawing out my hands! Almost makes me wish I got the Pro Max for more heat!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥
Downloading with a silly grin!
Oooh don't worry XMas is coming up really fast so the likelihood of this happening is a much higher percentage than what you initially would think. Choose an adult beverage that is tasty yet will not destroy your wind pipes. Sing it up

Im really looking forward to seeing all the external display supported iPad setups!
I have been using mine as a MacBook replacement since iPadOS 16 beta 2 and I have been loving it.
Really curious what people will build with these new possibilities.

Yes!!!! The apple books bug has been fixed at least on the iPad.
Apple today released iOS 16.2, the second major update to the iOS 16 operating system that came out in September. iOS 16.2 comes more than a month after the launch of iOS 16.1, an update that added support for Live Activities, Matter, iCloud Shared Photo Library, and more.
