Screen time
See the time you spent in apps (social media, productivity, etc.)
Screen Time provides detailed information to help you find the right balance between mobile phone use and real living (not to look as much mobile phone should be avoided, whether it helps is questionable but frightening how often you look).
App limits allow you to specify how much time you or your child spend in apps and websites.
Notifications
Notifications from the same app are automatically grouped (my favorite feature)
Man can also switch off notifications from certain apps above the lock screen
as well as notifications silently in the lock screen.That they are not interrupted by whatever they do.
Siri
Siri shortcuts a faster way to get things done by laying down specific tasks with words they define, so they can trigger or activate the tasks faster by saying the keyword.
Siri suggests shortcuts on the memory screen and in search
Motorsport results, schedules, for Formula 1, MotoGP etc.
Search for:
- Photos
- Time
- Place
- People
- Topics to find relevant photos and memories in photos with Siri
Translating sentences into multiple languages (40 languages)
Turn flashlight on or off with Siri (if the “off” button is too busy)
More natural voice now also in South African English, Irish English, Danish, Norwegian, Cantonese and Mandarin (Taiwan)
Augmented Reality
ARKit 2 to help developers create innovative AR apps
Persistence allows developers to save and reload experiences right where they left off
Object recognition and image tracking provide developers with new tools to recognize real objects and track images as they move through space
AR Quick Look extends AR in iOS so you can share AR objects with built-in apps like Safari and e.g. iMessage and Mail
Measuring with the Augmented Reality App (measuring things with the camera)
Privacy and security
Intelligent tracking prevention in Safari prevents embedded content and social media buttons from tracking cross-site browsing without your permission
Suppresses the retargeting function of ads (so that the green bike (which you don’t want to buy anyway) appears on every single page you visit)
Reused passwords are marked under Settings > “Passwords and Accounts”
Security code is automatically recognized by iOS and can only be inserted by clicking.
Sharing passwords with contacts is easier than ever with AirDrop of “passwords and accounts” in settings
