The long-awaited new features of iOS 15 and how to download updates

 Have you been looking forward to iOS 15 for a long time? iOS 15 has been released, so let’s take a look and see if its new features achieve the effects you want!

FaceTime upgrade: spatial audio, support Android and Windows

FaceTime will provide spatial audio, making people’s voices look like they are coming from their location on the screen, making your video chat feel more natural and lifelike. FaceTime will also start to look more like Zoom, allowing you to view all participants in a grid view, schedule calls, and share call links accessible through browsers on Google Android and Microsoft Windows devices.

iMessage sharing function

iOS 15 adds some new iMessage sharing features to photos, news articles, and playlists. When a friend sends you multiple photos via iMessage, they will appear as a dynamic collage, allowing you to swipe or tap to view the entire group of photos in the photos app. If you want to access the same photos later, you will find them stored in a new folder shared with you and mixed with your own curated photos and memories. You can also find news articles and playlists shared via iMessage in the new “Shared with You” tab of the “News” and Apple Music apps.

Apple Maps update: 3D street data, AR walking directions and weather warnings

Apple Maps has been upgraded to provide more altitude data, road colors and driving directions, rich labels, 3D landmarks and improved night mode. In terms of public transportation, you can also pin nearby public transportation stations and station information to your iPhone and Apple Watch devices, and receive automatic updates and notifications when you ride and approach stations. When traveling on foot, the new augmented reality feature allows you to use the iPhone’s camera to scan nearby buildings in the area to determine their precise location, thereby obtaining more accurate walking directions. This information will also be presented in augmented reality. This is great for people who have no sense of direction.

Maps can also incorporate weather warnings into suggested routes in iOS 15. The map will tell you if there are flash floods during the journey and suggest alternative routes to avoid extreme weather.

Facial recognition selfie to verify the digital ID in the e-wallet app

At WWDC this spring, Apple announced that it will add ID card support to the Wallet application in iOS 15, allowing you to carry a digital version of a government-issued ID card, such as a driver’s license, on your iPhone. The ID function is not in the initial version of iOS 15, and it is not clear how it works. (It is also only available for US users.) According to the code discovered by 9to5Mac for developers in iOS 15 beta 4, Apple may use facial recognition selfies to verify your digital ID when adding it to the wallet. Some banking applications already use this selfie verification feature to authenticate users when logging in with a new device.

How to download iOS 15?

Now that iOS 15 has been officially released, you may receive a notification from Apple informing you that it is possible to update. Or you can do this manually by going to the “Settings” app> “General”> “Software Update”, and under the “Also available” section, click “Upgrade to iOS 15”.

If you have already installed the iOS 15 beta version on your phone, you can uninstall it before downloading the final version of the operating system. This is why you may have to wait to install the full version of iOS 15.
