It is now packed with a lot more information, such as precipitation maps, next-hour precipitation notifications and a new UV index. The Weather app has also been redesigned. SharePlay, the feature that lets you sync audio and video playback with your friends, is going to be released later this Fall. Unfortunately, the big new FaceTime feature is not ready for prime time just yet. ThereвЂ™s also a new Zoom viewвЂ¦В I mean, grid view. For the first time, people who donвЂ™t own an Apple device will be able to join FaceTime calls from a web browser. You can now create links, share them with friends and add them to calendar invites. Another nice new feature is the ability to create tab groups and find your tab groups from your other devices.ДЇaceTime has become a versatile video-conferencing service. ItвЂ™s going to be interesting to see if popular Google Chrome extensions eventually come to Safari. For instance, the browser now supports traditional web extensions. Other than that, Safari changes are all good improvements. But if you really donвЂ™t want the address bar at the bottom, you can move it back to the top of the screen. Essentially, Apple has listened to feedback and changed the user interface of its web browser during the summer.Д«y default, the address bar is now at the bottom of the screen, right above the row of buttons that let you open bookmarks, share the current page or go to the previous page.

But what you saw at WWDC in June doesnвЂ™t look at all like whatвЂ™s shipping today. LetвЂ™s start with the controversial one: SafariвЂ™s design has been updated. Others have been a bit more controversial. Some additions are definitely nice improvements. With iOS 15, Apple has improved nearly all the default apps. You get it, this new feature has a lot of depth and beta users have just started scratching the surface.

For instance, you could use Shortcuts to open the Clock app when you turn on Sleep mode. Power users will also have a lot of fun setting up a Focus and pairing it with a Shortcut. For instance, you can automatically turn on вЂњSleepвЂќ at night or you can automatically turn on вЂњWorkвЂќ when you arrive at work. Third, you can hide notifications from the lock screen and hide badges from the home screen.ДЇocus gets particularly interesting when you realize that you can couple specific Focuses with automation features. Second, you can hide home screen pages altogether. First, you can optionally share that your notifications are currently silenced in Messages and compatible third-party apps. There are three more settings that you can activate. App developers can also mark a notification as time sensitive so that it always goes through. You can then add people and apps so that notifications from those people and apps still go through. When you turn on a specific Focus, it basically blocks notifications by default. Each Focus is customizable to your needs and you can create new Focuses from scratch. By default, Apple suggests a few Focuses -В Work, Sleep, Driving, Fitness, Gaming, Mindfulness, Personal and Reading. If you want to keep using вЂњmoon modeвЂќ with iOS 15, you donвЂ™t have to change anything.Д«ut you can now create additional Focuses. вЂњDo Not DisturbвЂќ users are already quite familiar with the idea that you can silence notifications when you donвЂ™t want them. With this new feature, it reverses the balance and puts you back in charge. Chances are you spend a lot of time with your phone, and your device requires a lot of attention from you. I would say it doesnвЂ™t feel like an Apple feature.Д«ut itвЂ™s definitely one of the most interesting features of iOS 15. ItвЂ™s a surprisingly powerful feature with a lot of options and tweaks. One of the biggest changes in iOS 15 is the ability to change your Focus from Control Center. Image Credits: Apple Focusing on you instead of your phone
