Explore everything about iOS 15: noteworthy new upgrades, official release date, and the list of updated devices.

Every year, Apple fans eagerly anticipate experiencing the latest iOS updates on their iPhones. Last year, iOS 14 brought significant changes with exciting features like home screen widgets. Therefore, iOS 15 this year is highly anticipated by many users.

Currently, iOS 15 is only in beta and undergoing testing and refinement before its official release. In this article, 24h Technology will provide you with the latest information about iOS 15.

1. Focus Feature on iOS 15

The Focus feature allows users to customize which notifications are allowed to be sent to their iPhone devices. With this feature, you can manage notifications more intelligently.

To help you better understand this feature, I'll provide some specific examples. With Work Focus, you can customize to only receive notifications related to work, such as emails, colleague phone numbers, and not allow any other notifications to avoid affecting work progress.

Or with Sleep Focus, this is a feature that focuses on your sleep. This feature helps receive sleep tracking notifications set up in the Health app on iPhone and Apple Watch.

This feature will also be synchronized across all your Apple devices.

2. Notification Interface Customization

The notification interface will also be redesigned in this iOS 15 version. Notification cards will come with app icons but in larger size, making them easier to observe.

Moreover, messages notifications will display the sender's image to help users easily identify the sender's identity.

Additionally, iOS 15 introduces the notification summary feature and suggests notifications based on their importance and priority to users. In this update, the notification summary feature consolidates less important notifications and delivers them to you at a predetermined time you've set.

3. Enhanced Smart Spotlight

The search bar on iOS 15 has also been improved compared to the previous version. In iOS 15, Spotlight can utilize information from your photos, including text from the images via Live Text. Users can also search for images from the web and receive search results with more details.

4. FaceTime Compatibility with Various Platforms

Apple is introducing FaceTime Links, allowing you to send links for FaceTime calls to friends and family, so you can schedule your chats.

Additionally, you can share this link with non-Apple devices, and they can join FaceTime calls via the web. This means users can participate in FaceTime calls on Android devices.

5. Upgraded Apple Maps

Apple Maps will feature a 3D view to help you visualize the route better. Additionally, while driving, you'll receive details about lanes, pedestrian lanes, and bike lanes.

6. Redesigned Safari Interface

The search bar in Safari browser will be moved down to the bottom of the screen. While browsing the web, the Tab Bar will automatically shrink to avoid obstructing your view.

Not only the search bar, but also the menu buttons will be redesigned and moved to the bottom of the screen. This allows users to navigate without having to move their hands too much.

7. Siri Offline Support

In iOS 15, Siri can be used even when you're offline. Without an internet connection, Siri can create and turn off alarms, initiate apps, and according to Apple, it will also support users in handling requests regarding messages or calls.

With iOS 15, you can easily share information like images, websites, a piece of music, or podcasts on Apple Music with the help of Siri.

There is still no specific release date for iOS 15, but based on previous years, it is expected to be released around September or October. iOS 14 was released on September 16, 2020, and iOS 15 is expected to launch around the same time.
