iOS 15 Overview
On the surface, the new OS appears to be low in features. It is when you dig further into the release that you will find that it is all about productivity.
Redesigned FaceTime capabilities, tools to decrease distractions, a new notifications experience, enhanced privacy features, entire redesigns for Safari, Weather, and Maps, and more are all included in the new OS.
New privacy features include Siri requests being processed directly on the iPhone, which improves responsiveness, Mail Privacy Protection, which prevents senders from knowing if an email has been opened and detecting a recipient’s IP address, and an App Privacy Report view, which shows how often apps use the permissions they’ve been granted.
