While the complete aspect of notifications is getting re-jigged with bigger icons and get in touch with images in case of calls and messages-associated photos, the ‘Notification Summary’ is likely the most fascinating feature. This feature will gather all the notifications that are not time crucial and provide them to the user “at a more opportune time”, hence not pinging them to customers as and when they come in. This is like the at present readily available ‘Do Not Disturb’ feature but with more handle with the customers beneath the Focus tab in the Settings. Using this, customers will be in a position to categorise contacts as nicely as apps into groups like private, sleep and work, and also be in a position to produce distinct home screens based on what they call for at distinct instances. Users would then be in a position to trigger the mode when they will need to or assign distinct instances to distinct modes. When one mode is active with one focus group, contacts and apps not belonging to the mode would not be in a position to pass via.
FaceTime will get a Zoom-like feature which will let iPhone, iPad and Mac customers to produce hyperlinks for FaceTime calls that will be shareable with anybody via text or apps like WhatsApp. With this, Android and Windows customers will then be in a position to join these calls applying the net browsers.
Features of app library and resizable widgets would be carried on from iOS 14 into the new iOS.
However, some iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 features would arrive later in time, like SharePlay, applying which video and audio can be shared live more than FaceTime calls.
