Mind-blowing new iPhone trick fixes one of the internet’s BIGGEST problems of all time
APPLE is about to rid us of the most annoying thing on the internet with its next major iOS update for iPhone.
The tech giant is working on a way to stop doing those pesky CAPTCHA prompts.

It’s the weird tests that ask you to pick things like traffic lights or tractors from a selection of images.
Sometimes you will be asked to enter random letters and numbers that are written in a strange way.
CAPTCHA is designed to help computer systems recognize that you are a human and not a robot.
But as machines get smarter at getting past them, the challenges have gotten trickier — and arguably more frustrating.
According to a screenshot taken by an iOS 16 beta tester, Apple is working on a very useful way to automatically fill out these tests for you.
A setting under the new operating system’s password and security bit has an automatic verification option.
The description reads: “Bypass CAPTCHAs in apps and on the web by allowing iCloud to automatically and privately verify your device and account.”
It’s certainly one of those small updates that would make a big difference.

iOS 16 brings a ton of big changes, including new ways to customize your lock screen like never before.
The update will be available for iPhone 8 and newer.
We’ll have to wait until iOS 16 to see if the new verification option becomes a reality – that probably won’t be until September.
