Exploring iOS 12: What's New and Exciting?

Apple's iOS 12 is designed to make your iPhone and iPad experience faster, more responsive, and more delightful. Here’s a closer look at the exciting new features:

Performance Improvements

iOS 12 focuses heavily on performance, making everyday tasks faster and more responsive across all supported devices, including older models.

Screen Time

Screen Time helps you understand and control the time you spend on your devices. It provides detailed activity reports and tools to limit app usage.

Grouped Notifications

Notifications are now grouped by app, making it easier to manage and interact with them. This helps reduce clutter and keeps your lock screen organized.

Siri Shortcuts

Siri Shortcuts allows you to create custom voice commands for actions you frequently perform, integrating seamlessly with both native and third-party apps.

Memoji and Animoji

iOS 12 introduces Memoji, allowing you to create personalized Animoji that look like you. New Animoji characters and features, like tongue detection, are also included.

Augmented Reality (AR)

AR experiences are taken to the next level with ARKit 2, enabling shared experiences, persistent AR experiences, and better object detection.

Measure App

The new Measure app uses augmented reality to turn your device into a virtual measuring tape, making it easy to measure real-world objects and spaces.

Enhanced Photos

The Photos app gets smarter with improved search capabilities, sharing suggestions, and a new For You tab that curates your best moments and memories.

Improved Do Not Disturb

Do Not Disturb gets more powerful with options to automatically end at a set time or location, and a new Bedtime mode that dims your display and hides notifications until morning.

Group FaceTime

Group FaceTime allows you to video chat with up to 32 people at once, making it easier to connect with multiple friends and family members.

iOS 12 is packed with features designed to make your device faster, smarter, and more enjoyable to use. From performance boosts to innovative new tools, there's something for everyone in this update. Upgrade to iOS 12 and experience the latest from Apple!
