The fifteenth version of the iOS operating system developed by Apple for its iPhone series was launched on September 20.

The iOS 15 update is available for models 6 and up and came loaded with very interesting news presented below:

Portraid Mode in FaceTime

This peculiar function will be very useful in teleconferences because from a “Wide Spectrum” system, using artificial intelligence, the voice can be isolated and improved during calls. It will also make the background of photos more diffuse, making selfies stand out.

Focus mode

It is a new way to personalize the iPhone because it allows you to change icons, widgets, wallpapers. In addition, the “do not disturb” mode allows you to configure different scenarios and each one with its respective notification permissions, which can also be activated and configured automatically.

Share health data

With this software it is possible to share different health indicators, such as heart rate, number of calories lost, stability when walking, hours of sleep and food. All information can be linked to the Apple Watch.

Private Relay

It is like a VPN integrated into the operating system and although it is still in beta phase, it can be used just by downloading the software, without access to information on exclusive pages for each country.

Camera for texts

It is called “Live Text” and consists of using the camera to read texts, it works in different languages, allowing translations to be made and after scanning them, it can be shared in any way.

3D Apple Maps

Some cities and locations will be better represented in 3D on Apple Maps such as New York City or London and will also have “immersive directions” to facilitate the journey.

Optimized Safari

Apple’s search engine will adopt extensions on phones, which will allow plugins to be installed on mobile phones. It will also allow to group the tabs into groups and restore the page through scrolling up and down.

Privacy and permissions

The new update will provide the option to monitor the permissions granted and when detecting that they use the photos or the location of the person without need, the operating system will send a notification and the app can be removed and reported in the App Store.

Improved emojis

Apple emojis will be more inclusive, they will come with different accessibility options and a variety of skin colors. On the other hand, they can be personalized with various expressions and other details.

Entertainment

Through a FaceTime call you can use SharePlay, with which you will have access to watch movies, videos and listen to songs with the person you are talking to. This function is in full development, but the company promises to have it operational in the coming months.

Apple incorporated in the latest version of its mobile operating system, iOS 15, a new function in the App Store with which it allows users to request a refund for the purchase of an app from the software platform itself, something that until now had to be done from the outside.

iOS 15 was announced this Monday during Apple’s annual developer event, WWDC21, and as part of this conference the American company also shared the news that comes to the App Store.

Among them, the introduction of a ‘request refund’ button for internal payments from the App Store, such as the purchase of paid apps or content purchases within the application, stands out.

Until now, refunds from the App Store were managed from outside the platform, filling out a form on Apple’s website from the ‘Report a problem‘ section.

With the arrival of iOS 15, the system incorporates a new application programming interface (API), StoreKit 2, which allows users to request refunds directly from the application, as well as to more easily cancel self-renewing subscriptions, such as informs the Apple developer website.

As part of StoreKit 2, when a user chooses the ‘Request Refund’ option, Apple sends a message via email to report the status of each request within 48 hours.

The new feature is available now in the iOS 15 beta, and will be generally available with the system launch in the fall. Users will be able to continue using the reporting option through Apple’s website.

Apple introduced a new iPhone operating system, iOS 15, which updates the FaceTime video calling service to be accessible to Android and Windows users, in the style of Zoom, the most popular platform of its kind since the Covid-19 pandemic broke out.

The new FaceTime introduces the ability to create links for calls that can be shared with other users, allowing access through the web to those who are not using Apple devices, something that was not possible until now.

In addition, it launches a grid display system, in which all the participants in the call appear with the same dimensions next to each other, and the portrait mode to automatically blur the backgrounds.

Another improvement in FaceTime is the inclusion of spatial audio, so that in a video call with several participants, the voice of each of them will sound as if it came from the same place where that person appears on the screen (upper corner right, lower left corner).

Concerning the sound, the updated version of Apple’s video conferencing platform is capable of detecting and eliminating background noises such as construction sites or vacuum cleaners, so that the conversation can be heard as clearly as possible.
