WWDC is Apple’s annual event, where they announce new product launches, the latest software updates, and features for their devices. The iOS 15 update has finally been released and is the hottest topic being discussed.
Here’s what you need to know.
There have been significant upgrades to FaceTime, Notes, Maps, and Wallet, to name a few. With iOS maintaining its supremacy, it is now being humble towards Android users by increasing its compatibility. Let’s look at what iOS 15 has brought for you.
With the new iOS update, FaceTime has changed entirely. Apple has finally allowed Android users to join FaceTime with a link. The Apple team calls it a “FaceTime Link.” This makes it easier to stay connected with family and friends who do not possess iPhones.
Another new feature is the SharePlay built-in FaceTime. You can watch movies together while you are apart from loved ones. Geographic distance becomes less important when spending time together has been made simple.
Furthermore, the app has several visual changes, such as the new grid view during calls and the Spatial Audio, which supports headphones like AirPods Pro or Max.
This feature was already in place. However, it only supported FaceTime. With the recent iOS update, there are different mic modes: Standard, Voice Isolation, and Wide Spectrum, which can be used in all apps requiring microphones.
Standard is essential standard quality. Voice isolation cuts the background noise and enhances the quality of the audio. Wide Spectrum makes the sound from the back more precise and more understandable.
iMessage is an in-built messaging feature for iPhone users which now supports the image grids when someone sends a message with multiple images. That means the receiver can slide on the photos immediately while getting notified.
Also, a “Shared With You” feature shows quick access to the first-party apps on iOS when someone shares something through iMessage.
For instance, if someone shares a music link, it will show when you open iTunes, and a link will show up when you open Safari. This way, you will always experience stuff shared by your close friends.
It has been an extended version of the DND feature in iOS for a long time. It allows you to choose from different modes like work and sleep. Certain notifications are now turned off to keep the user undisturbed.
There are several modes, such as private mode, where you get notified only about personal stuff. In the work mode, you will get all work-related notifications. Also, Apple has said that iOS 15 learns the user’s work pattern and suggests “Focus Mode” according to location or activities, such as when studying or in the library.
Through Live Text, one can copy the text from an image in the gallery, even without an internet connection. Thus, you no longer need Google Lens if you have an iPhone with updated iOS.
Apple never dissatisfies its customers. There are many significant features with the iOS 15 update that will allow Apple users a better experience. This update is supported on iPhone SE 3 and later.
