iOS 15 Released September 20, Here are 7 New Features

 


After undergoing various beta periods since last June, Apple will finally release iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 on September 20, 2021.


Both iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 were first introduced to the public at WWDC 2021 in early June, and since then the operating system for the iPhone and iPad has gone through various beta periods.


iOS 15 and iPad 15 offer a variety of new features. But the most visible are the changes to the notification feature and notification summary. Also in Focus mode, which can set the appearance of notifications from various applications at different times.



In addition, Apple will also release watchOS 8 at the same time, which is September 20. Changes to the operating system are fairly light, such as support for iOS 15 features, for example Focus, and others.


A new watchface will also be included in watchOS7 8, primarily to take advantage of the Apple Watch Series 7's larger screen. Also support new types of exercise such as Pilates and tai chi.




The following is a list of features available in iOS 15 and iPadOS 15:


1. FaceTime

Apple brought many updates to its messaging app. First display when making a group call. Now the view is gridded, with the person speaking at the top.



The Spatial Audio feature is now available in FaceTime. But what's interesting is that Apple provides the ability to muffle the surrounding noise so it doesn't interfere with conversation.


In addition, users can create FaceTime links to invite friends to chat. Not only for Apple users, Android or Windows users can join by opening the link via their browser. Apple guarantees that all of these processes are guaranteed to be secure.


Even more exciting is the SharePlay feature that allows us to share screens, listen to music and watch movies with friends during FaceTime calls. Not only Apple services, this sharing ability can be used by third-party applications, some of which are TikTok and Disney+.


2. Messages

Messages in iOS 15 features new ways to share content like pictures, music, podcasts, Apple News articles, and more. Users can pin shared content to the front more easily.


3. Focus

To help users stay focused while doing other tasks, Apple added many features to minimize the amount of distraction that could occur.


Now comes the Notification Summary which displays a summary of notifications that users can give whenever they want, combining all the most important items into one message.


In Focus, there are modes that can be set for different situations. This feature can be activated depending on where the user is located. For example, the Fitness mode configured for the user while in the gym.


4. Live Text

In an effort to help users deal with large amounts of written information, Apple brought Live Text. This is the automatic optical character recognition feature of the Camera app.


Users can point the camera at text on a board, sign, or page, and Live Text makes it selectable, copied and pasted elsewhere.


Leveraging machine learning, this feature isn't just limited to the Camera app. Live Text can be used to conveniently scan images, including previously captured photos and web images. This new feature includes support for seven languages, and can recognize objects and scenes.


5. Spotlight

Photos now appear in Spotlight search results. Additionally contact search is also improved, complete with indicating whether Do Not Disturb (DND) mode is enabled by them.


Many new cards have been included, featuring information for actors, movies, and other types of content.


5. Photos

Users can add songs in Apple Music in Memory, so that they can accompany photo slides to be more interesting.


Apple provides Memory Mixes which allow users to edit the resulting Memory, to improve it in various ways.


6. Weather

Weather now features a completely new design. There are high-res in-app maps, and new background animations. Apple also brings changes to the display based on conditions.


7. Maps

Maps provides a much more detailed 3D and globe view of a number of cities. There are new road details to help drivers and more information in the Transit view.


Maps automatically follows users during transit routes and can remind you when to get off, as well as offer more detailed directional information.
