Just a month after Apple rolled out the iOS 14.5 update, they previewed the major updates coming on iOS 15 at the 2021 Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC). FaceTime will be getting added capabilities and they’re introducing the Focus feature that helps reduce distraction. Apple also improved the on-device intelligence and redesigned the Maps, Weather, and Wallet app.
Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of Software Engineering, can’t wait for customers to experience the update. “iOS 15 helps uses stay connected while sharing experiences in real-time, gives them new tools to help reduce distraction and find focus, uses intelligence to enhance the photos experience, and with huge updates to Maps, brings new ways to explore the world,” he said in the press release.
The highlight of the event was the introduction of SharePlay on FaceTime. This allows users to listen to songs together with Apple Music, watch a TV show or movie in sync, and screen share. What’s more, even non-Apple users will be able to join FaceTime. That means Android and Windows devices can be part of the shared experience.
