However selected by Apple at WWDC 2022, Navigation will soon bow out. As a reminder, this utility exploits SharePlay to make a real-time text transcription of a FaceTime conversation. A translation function in 20 foreign languages is even available, which makes Navi a very practical tool for the hearing impaired but also for interlocutors who do not speak the same language.
Finalist — but not winner — from the Apple Design Awards, this application quickly suffered from new accessibility features announced by Apple last May. From iOS 16, it will indeed be possible to activate automatic subtitles for all audio content, which risks “sherlocker” automatically Navi.
Unfortunately I’m removing the translation feature from Navi today, and the entire app when iOS 16 launches.
iOS 16 makes changes to the audio system which makes it impossible to get access to the microphone feed during a FaceTime call.

This is not the only reason, however: Jordi Bruin, the developer of Navi, explained in a tweet that it was now impossible in iOS 16 to access the audio stream generated by the microphone. He therefore made the decision to remove the translation function from Navi today, and to remove the entire application once the final version of iOS 16 is released. Good player, the developer emphasizes all the same that this project will have been very rewarding and rich in lessons.
