Previously, all the accumulated messages throughout the day built up in the iMessage app. However, now, the links that are sent via these messages to the users will show up in different panels. For example, if a user gets a link to an Apple News story, it will pop up in the Apple News app. Moreover, it will appear under a new section called “Shared with You”. Upon carrying out the Apple iOS 15 download and installation, users will be able to see this feature come alive.
Enhanced AI Image Recognition Feature
The brand new operating system by Apple can now read what is in a particular image. Now, here is the catch. It can also read text that is included in any given photo. So, an enhanced photo recognition feature is what the new operating system brings via an enhanced UI.
iOS 15 Focus Mode Feature
Apple has introduced a brand new focus mode feature via their latest operating system upgrade. Previously, users would have the Do Not Disturb or simply DND mode to limit notifications from popping up. Now, this has received a buff of sorts.
Now, iOS 15 features also include a brand new Focus Mode. If you have focus mode turned on, a person texting you would get to know and acknowledge that. You can create various focus mode profiles for work, sleep and playtime, respectively. In addition, it will also allow users to create multiple special home screens. This will further allow them to set up a different set of applications for home and work modes, respectively.
Apple Maps Upgrade
Now, the brand new Apple iOS 15 has brought along a significant upgrade to the Apple Maps app. The latest operating system brings the Apple Maps reminders feature. This will basically offer real-time alerts to users to tell them when they need to get off a train, bus or anything as such. Further, this allows users to not miss their stops and be alert on the way.
Safari Redesign Upgrade
Apple’s proprietary Safari browser has now received a significant redesign. This will be one of the biggest upgrades to the company’s very own browser in years. What this upgrade primarily brings is it shifts the back button and address bar from the top of the display to the bottom. This will allow users of the redesigned Safari easier to navigate the browser with their thumbs.
In addition, the redesigned Safari will now allow users to save groups of tabs, like Chrome. Besides, it is also bringing the ability to use extensions, something that Apple iPhone users have been wanting for a long time now.
