San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York, and London have unprecedented detail for elevation, roads, trees, buildings, landmarks, and more. Users also can take advantage of new driving features, interactive globe, new place cards, and more.
Nice, right? Also new for iMessage, there is new Memoji customization with clothes, more colors, and accessibility customizations include cochlear implants, oxygen tubes, and soft helmets.
Also, when you send a bunch of photos on iMessage with iOS 15 and iPadOS 15, they look more compact with a collage you can swipe through and tap to view them all as a grid or add a quick Tapback.
Finally, Apple fixed it. When opening an image or your camera, you can find text and make a call, send an email, or look up directions with just a tap on the highlighted text in a photo. For example, if you see a sign on the street, just open your Camera app and click on the text to copy it.
Siri also got a bit smarter and more useful as it adds on-device speech recognition so everything is processed on your iPhone and iPad. With that, Siri can finally perform many tasks without an internet connection. As you read above, there are a lot of things to get excited about iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 but there are many other features that were coming to these operating systems and will launch sometime later this year — or even next.

Apple security updates This document lists security updates for Apple software. About Apple security updates For the protection of our customers, Apple doesn't disclose, discuss, or confirm security issues until an investigation has occurred and patches or releases are generally available. Get the latest software updates from Apple Keeping your software up to date is one of the most important things you can do to maintain your Apple product's security.

Red-eye reduction is a simple process that has you select the red-eye tool, then tap the red eyes of your subject for instantaneous and impressive results.
The single-tap color correction tool balances your colors and, in our tests, did indeed make the image look better. Though we welcome these additions, Apple is way too late to the photo-editing party, as this functionality has existed on basic phones for years. Also, while we like the basic editing features, we doubt it will mean the demise of third-party apps like Photoshop Express.
Also, you now can search within the body of a message instead of just in the From, To, and subject lines. Mail for iOS has needed many of these features for a long time, so it's good that we finally have them. Flagging e-mails as important will certainly help the business crowd.
The selection tool when you double-tap a word and drag selection anchors is still a little awkward to use--especially for large blocks of text, and it's important to note that you'll need to select text to apply any rich text formatting bold, italics, or underline options once selected.
Still these are needed steps forward for the Mail app, and users will appreciate the changes. With iOS 5 we still stumbled upon the occasional e-mail with its own special formatting that the app didn't adjust to make eyeball-friendly on the smaller screen. Considering how much e-mail reading people do on their iOS devices, this would be a welcome addition. So as on Android, Windows Phone 7, and BlackBerry OS 5 devices, you'll no longer have to plug your device into a computer or even own a computer at all.
The updates will serve only the changes, so they'll be shorter, and you'll be able to sync, back up, and restore your device using the new iCloud features. You'll also find new features within apps, like wirelessly editing photos, managing e-mail folders, and creating and deleting calenders.
To sync your iOS device to iTunes on your computer, you need only be on the same Wi-Fi network and your device needs to be charging plugged into a charger.
From there you can select Sync Now on your iPhone and your photos, music, and calendars will be backed up in iTunes. While not pretty or particularly novel especially with so many other smartphones offering the same features , over-the-air updates might be the most important of all for iOS in this update. We've heard many stories of users complaining about sync times, and not having your phone tethered to your computer for long periods will be appreciated by all.
We'll add more details about iCloud as we use explore it further. Game Center Additions for gamers in iOS 5 include the addition of profile photos, the ability to compare achievement points, friends of friends lists, recommended friends and games, support for turn-based games, and a way to buy games directly from Game Center.
We like the added personal touch of adding a photograph to our profile in Game Center, but we think people should have more fun options for page customization it is "Game" Center, after all. Game recommendations based on your current library seem pretty solid, but we did find a few games in the list we had previously deleted. The ability to buy games from within Game Center makes it a bit more of a destination, but it still seems like the service will still be a behind-the-scenes social connector as it was in iOS 4.
As with BlackBerry Messenger BBM , you'll be able to exchange unlimited text messages, photos, and videos with your friends, family, and colleagues. Also, your messages won't cost you anything and they won't count against the monthly allotment of messages from your wireless carrier. You'll also get group messaging, an indicator to see if someone is typing to you, delivery and read receipts, secure encryption, and conversation syncing that is pushed to multiple devices.
The updates to the iPhone messaging system are welcome changes, with some of the new features mimicking what third-party paid chat apps in the iTunes App Store already do.
We're a little disappointed that the location and contact sharing features don't come straight from iMessage you need to share them from the Map app or your contacts as found in third-party apps. Still, the ability to send that data to a friend is an improvement.
For example, to send a contact, you'll need to go to your home screen, open your contacts, select a person, choose the Share Contact button, then choose iMessage. It would have been better if we could bring up the contact list straight from iMessage. Find My Friends Announced at the unveiling of the iPhone 4S, Find My Friends is an iOS 5-exclusive app that lets you view your friends' and family's locations in real time on a map when they agree to share location info with you.
For added security, you can set a time limit for how long you share your location, a major concern of people who don't want to continually broadcast their location. You start by signing in with your iTunes account ID, then you can send an invite to friends using their iTunes account ID.
Once received, they will need to send a request to you as well. After everyone has given permission, you'll be able to get a pretty close approximation of where your friends are on a map. In our testing in San Francisco, our location would be very accurate on one street, then in another location it would be a block away from where we were standing.
Right now, the selections are limited, but the extensions that do exist work exactly like they would on your Mac. If an app you have installed on your iPhone has an extension, it will ask you if you want to add it when you launch Safari. Otherwise, you can find them in a dedicated section in the App Store. I'm a fan of the extensions from Grammarly, 1Password, and Amplosion, which is a handy tool that redirects Google Amp links to the original website source. Of course, Apple's redesign of Safari on the iPhone has been a bit controversial.
That's largely due to the fact that Apple had combined the navigation and toolbar at the bottom into a new user interface that crammed a lot into a small space and generally made it harder to do just about everything. The one benefit of this design, which, to Apple's credit, got better during the beta period, is that it's far easier to navigate through tabs. Because they're at the bottom, they're within easy reach of your thumb when you're holding your iPhone and using it with one hand.
Additionally, when you view all of your tabs, they're in a card view instead of the Rolodex-like arrangement before.
Sometimes, Apple's best features aren't obvious or easy to find because they're hidden away in the accessibility settings on your device. While the company deserves credit for building in a lot of great tools for people with vision, hearing, or mobility challenges, some of those features are useful for everyone and should be easier to find. For example, iOS gives you the ability to control the size of text displayed on your screen.
