the new ios 15 features! -By Neha

 Apple also said that ios 15 will be available on 20th September. and I'm going to be telling you guys some new features of ios 15.

and one of them is that now you can screen share on facetime. I never expected this I don't know why but I did think about how amazing it would be if we could screen share on facetime. and literally the next week... this happens. and you can keep ongoing conversations while watching. and apparently, the volume will automatically lower down while you're talking with the other person. how cool is that! and it's called share play. it's basically the exact same thing as screenshare except this is boujee. and you can also listen together on apple music, that's also in share play. and the next one is spatial audio individual voices sound like they’re coming from the direction in which each person is positioned on your screen, helping conversations flow more naturally and there's also grid view, almost exactly like zoom. and three's also the portrait mode. which is kind of like zoom's blur mode. that's what facetime is now. zoom. Voice Isolation minimizes background noise and puts your voice front and center. When the music or sounds around you are as important as what you have to say, Wide Spectrum leaves the ambient sound unfiltered. and you can also schedule and share "unique" facetime links. again zoom. and I really like this feature which is where you can have facetime calls with people who use android or windows, and it will still be end to end encrypted. this feature is really cool. I can't wait for facetime to be zoom! 

and the next one is imessage and memoji

Now the links, images, and other content shared with you in Messages are featured in a new Shared with You section in the corresponding app. You can even reply right from the app you’re enjoying it in — without going back to Messages. so it's basically you click the link that doesn't take you to photos(for example) it's still going to be in messages. and there's also share with you in apps. Shared with You is built into Photos, Safari, Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and the Apple TV app. and now there are new memojis too. and multiple photos in Messages now appear as a collage or an elegant stack of images that you can swipe through. Tap to view them all as a grid or add a quick Tapback. And save them to your library with just a few taps. Focus helps you stay in the moment when you need to concentrate or step away. Choose from a list of Focus options or create your own to allow only the notifications you want — you can get work done while you’re in the zone or enjoy a distraction‑free dinner. and you can also Stepping away is easier if others know you’re busy. So when you’re using Focus, your status will be automatically displayed in Messages and other communication apps you allow. And for truly urgent messages, there’s still a way for people to notify you.

something like the picture. 

and there are new redesigned notifications where you can see the logo of the app.

and there's also a notification summary where you can quickly catch up with a helpful collection of your notifications delivered daily, based on a schedule you set. The summary is intelligently ordered by priority, with the most relevant notifications at the top.

and there are also some new features in maps as well, which unfortunately doesn't work in India, 

Explore cities with unprecedented detail for roads, neighborhoods, trees, buildings, and more. Visit amazing 3D landmarks like the Golden Gate Bridge in both the day and dark mode maps. Maps now offers drivers incredible road details and a new dedicated driving map that helps you see current incidents and traffic conditions at a glance.

and there are also updates in safari. The bottom tab bar puts controls right at your fingertips. Swipe left or right on the address bar to move between tabs. Or swipe up to see all your open tabs. this is cool but I don't see the purpose of doing this, if you guys know, let me know in the comments. 

and now you can also group tabs!  Save and organize your tabs in the way that works best for you and switch between them easily. Tab Groups sync across devices so you have access to your tabs from anywhere.                                                                                                               Now you can install Safari extensions on your iPhone. And just like on Mac, you can choose when the extensions will be active.

and the next feature is so useful, and it's called live text. Live Text intelligently unlocks rich and useful information in images, so you can make a call, send an email or look up directions with just a tap on the highlighted text in a photo. but I'm still not exactly sure how it works, guess we'll have to see in 3 days! 3 FREAKIN DAYS! 

Live Text also works in the Camera app, so you can point your iPhone camera at text on the go and quickly take action on useful information.

and there's also live text translation. Live Text understands seven different languages: English, Chinese, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Spanish. And with system-wide translation, you can simply tap and translate.

 

Spotlight shows you more information at a glance with new rich search results for artists, entertainers, TV shows, and movies, as well as your contacts. And you can now search your photos in Spotlight, and even search based on text in your photos by using Live Text.

I was also thinking about this, LITERALLY, YESTERDAY, because photos automatically add sad music over a happy memory, I mean you can change it but now it'll automatically do that. and now... Memories introduces a new interactive, immersive interface, along with new Memory mixes that let you personalize the look and feel of your story with a song and vibe to match. 

and there's also a health app update. Updates to the Health app give you new ways to share data with your loved ones, a metric to assess your risk of falling, and trend analysis to help you understand changes in your health.

and now you can also hide your email

Instantly generate unique, random email addresses that forward to your personal inbox — so you don’t have to share your real email address when filling out a form on the web or signing up for a newsletter. Hide My Email is built into Mail,4 Safari, and iCloud Settings.

and there's so much more!
