iOS 15 is Expected To Be Released on 20th September

Tech giant Apple is expected to drop updates on iOS 15, iPad OS 15 and watchOS 8 on 20th September, days ahead of iPhone 13 lineup. The latest version of iOS adds new features for FaceTime and Messages, smarter notifications and a new LiveText feature.

With the update, iPhone and iPad owners can take advantage of FaceTime improvements, including the addition of spatial audio and noise reduction features to eliminate distracting background sounds, The revamped Messages app adds a new "shared with you" feature that makes it easier to track photos, music and news articles that are shared in chats with a dedicated section for shared content.

Apple is also changing up its notifications, with new tools to control how and when you receive push alerts. New "Focus" modes, allow users to tune out all alerts except for apps and people they specifically want to hear from, and they can set specific profiles for working, sleeping and other activities. These profiles can also change the arrangement of apps on their home screen based on the apps they are most likely to use throughout the day.

One of the more intriguing features of iOS 15 is Live Text, which uses the camera to scan the user's surroundings and surface relevant information. If they point it at a whiteboard, for example, it could pull out the written text for them to share. It could also identify art, landmarks, plants and pets.

Notably, the initial release won’t include Apple’s new SharePlay features, which is expected in a later update. The company also recently confirmed it would delay iOS 15’s most controversial features: the planned child safety update that will allow the company to detect illegal child abuse imagery on users' devices. Apple said earlier this month it was delaying the changes in order to "make improvements" to the widely-criticized system.
