Explore iOS 15: Exciting New Features, Release Date, and Supported Devices

Every year, Apple enthusiasts eagerly await to experience 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 envision this feature, I'll provide some concrete examples. With Work Focus, you can customize to receive only work-related notifications such as emails, colleague phone calls, and block any other distractions to maintain work productivity.

Or with Sleep Focus, this feature revolves around optimizing your sleep. It allows receiving notifications tracking your sleep set up in the Health app on iPhone and Apple Watch.

This feature will also synchronize across all your Apple devices.

2. Notification Interface Customization

The notification interface gets a makeover in iOS 15. Notification cards will now feature larger app icons, making them easier to spot.

Moreover, messages notifications will display the sender's image alongside, aiding users in identifying message senders more easily.

Additionally, iOS 15 boasts a notification summary feature and suggests notifications based on their importance and user priorities. 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 also improves compared to the previous version. In iOS 15, Spotlight can leverage information from your photos, including text from images through Live Text. Users can also search for images from the web and receive search results with more information.

4. FaceTime interoperability across multiple platforms

Apple introduces FaceTime Links, allowing you to send links to FaceTime conversations to friends and family, so you can schedule chats.

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

5. Enhanced Apple Maps Experience

Apple Maps will feature a 3D view mode to help you visualize routes better. Additionally, while driving, you'll receive information such as detailed lane guidance, pedestrian walkways, and bike lanes.

6. New Safari Interface

The Safari browser search bar will be moved down to the bottom of the screen. As you browse 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. Offline Support for Siri

Siri in iOS 15 can function even when you're offline. Without internet connection, Siri can create and turn off alarms, initiate apps, and according to Apple, also assist users with handling tasks like messaging or calling.

With iOS 15, you can effortlessly share information such as images, websites, a music track, or podcast on Apple Music with Siri's assistance.

8. Official Release Date of iOS 15

There's still no specific release date for iOS 15, but based on previous years, it's likely to be released around September or October. iOS 14 was released on September 16, 2020, and iOS 15 is expected to follow a similar timeline.
