Three Must-try Apple Tips And Tricks To Try
Last Sept. 20, 2021, Apple released its latest operating system, iOS 15. It has some features for FaceTime calls and special features to lessen distractions. The latest operating system also enhanced privacy features, application redesigns, and more.
Since its release, the Cupertino-based technology company has been releasing updates to improve users' experience.
There are several Apple tips and tricks to maximize the usage of the iOS 15 features.
Reduce Distractions
According to Macrumors, one of the most useful iOS 15 features to try is the newly introduced "Focus," which allows Apple users to reduce distractions.
This feature filters notifications and Home Screen pages depending on the users' choice to focus on at a specific time. If the focus feature is enabled, it blocks incoming notifications from the unwanted apps or programs.
Additionally, the Focus status will also notify other people in Messages, informing them that the user is not available unless urgent.
The following steps will help users toggle on the said feature.
- Head to the settings icon, then tap the "Focus" tab.
- In the Focus tab, choose a provided Focus options including Do Not Disturb, Personal, or Sleep.
- Once chosen, toggle on the Focus.
- After selecting a Focus, choose any of the following, "Allowed Notifications," "Time Sensitive Notifications," and "Focus Status."
Portrait Mode During FaceTime Calls
Apple explained that "with Portrait mode, the camera creates a depth-of-field effect, which lets you capture photos with a sharp focus on the subject and a blurred background."
The Portrait mode feature was first available on the Camera app only. As video calls popularized during the time of the pandemic, it appears that Apple incorporated this feature on FaceTime calls.
In addition to this, the iOS 15 release obviously enhanced users' FaceTime call experience. Along with the Portrait mode, the tech giant also provided Spatial Audio which follows the users' voice location on the screen.
Aside from this, the Wide Spectrum mode was also introduced in this new operating system. This feature enhances the background noise allowing the person on the other line to know where the user is.
These features can all be used during FaceTime calls.
Easily Copy Texts In Real Life
According to PCMag, the Live Text on iOS 15 is one of the coolest features introduced.
For those unfamiliar, this iOS 15 feature enables Apple users to copy and share texts within photographs, translate languages, make phone calls, and even copy a link.
The following steps will be able to help users utilize the Live Text feature.
- Head to the "Photos" app, then choose a photo with texts on it.
- Similar to copying a text, tap or hold a word from the chosen image, then adjust the start and end points users wish to copy.
- Lastly, select the "Copy" or "Select All" button after the adjustment.
To enjoy more of these features, it is worth noting that the iPhone must be updated to iOS 15 first.
