Apple just released the newest version of its operating system, iOS 15. iPhone users can now upgrade to iOS 15 and take advantage of its novel functions such as Focus Mode, Live Text, SharePlay, and more. With the developer beta now available from June 2021, Apple revealed the first look at iOS 15 features last year during the virtual Worldwide Developers Conference. The following are some of the most significant new iOS 15 features introduced at WWDC 2021.
- Update on Facetime
- Notification Bar Redesigned
- Maps by Apple
- Icloud+
- Hiding Email Option
- Focus Mode
- Livetext
- To Validate Idigital Cards, Facial Recognition Selfies are Used
1. Update on Facetime:
After seeing how the COVID-19 epidemic has triggered a paradigm shift in the way that jobs, education, and enterprises operate, Apple updated its video calling software in iOS 15 features. FaceTime will now show the participants of a video meeting in grid view, just like ZOOM. Users on Android phones can also add non-Android users to their FaceTime calls. And it’s still end-to-end encrypted, so your conversation is as private and secure as any other FaceTime call.
2. Notification Bar Redesigned:
Notifications have a fresh new design, with contact photographs and larger app icons to make them simpler to spot. Apple has cleaned up the never-ending notification bar and replaced it with a new Notification Summary feature that allows users to quickly check insignificant notifications at specific hours of the day.
3. Maps by Apple
The updated Maps application for iOS 11.2, which will be released tomorrow, adds a variety of new features. Users will now have access to a wider range of altitude data, road colors, traffic and driving directions, 3D landmarks, as well as an improved night mode.
Users may also bookmark public transportation stops and information on their iPhone or Apple Watch, receiving automated notifications as they ride or approach the stop. In addition to that, Apple is developing an augmented reality feature for its map. With the use of this function, you may scan buildings in the area using your iPhone’s camera.
4. Icloud+:
Everything you love about iCloud will be back, including new features like iCloud Private Relay and Hide My Email, as well as expanded HomeKit Secure Video support.
5. Hiding Email Option:
Hide My Email is a browser plugin that allows you to create new, random email addresses that forward to your personal inbox, so you don’t have to give out your real email address when filling out a form on the web or signing up for a newsletter. Mail, Safari5, and iCloud Settings include Hide My Email.
6. Focus Mode:
The Focus mode is a sort of enhanced variation on Apple’s existing Do Not Disturb option, allowing customers to block access to particular applications and contacts at set intervals. It allows users to prioritize notifications by what they’re doing at the moment, and it helps them manage app and widget pages on their iPhone’s home screen. In the future, third-party application developers may utilize Focus status with WhatsApp, Signal, or other messaging apps if they choose to do so.
7. Livetext:
Live Text will be available in iOS 15, bringing a new feature to photos that allow users to extract numbers and words straight from photographs. Live text will work in Photos, screenshots, Safari, and the Camera app.
8. To Validate Idigital Cards, Facial Recognition Selfies are Used
In iOS 15, Apple added wallet app support for ID cards, allowing you to take digital versions of government-issued identification cards like your driver’s license with you on your iPhone. When adding documents to your Wallet in the iOS 15 beta 4 for developers, Apple may be using facial recognition selfies to confirm the validity of your digital IDs. Certain banking applications are currently using this selfie authentication method to authenticate people when they log on with new devices.
