Casi 100 millones mil millones de usuarios de iPhone en todo el mundo ya han instalado iOS 15, según Mixpanel. Aquí están 20 de las características más oscuras o emocionantes a las que ahora pueden acceder aquellos que optaron por instalar el nuevo sistema operativo móvil de Apple.</p><h2>Actualizaciones más fáciles</h2><p>Todos los usuarios comerciales se beneficiarán de la actualización de su iPhone a iOS 15, que ofrece almacenamiento de iCloud ilimitado por hasta tres semanas al configurar un nuevo dispositivo. Abra Configuración> General> Transferir o Restablecer iPhone para usarlo. Los usuarios empresariales también se benefician del nuevo sistema de gestión declarativa MDM de Apple.</p><h2>Texto en vivo</h2><p>La capacidad de usar su cámara para escanear texto es un verdadero cambio de juego. Abra su cámara y apunte a una señal de tráfico, página de un libro o revista. También puede abrir una imagen en su biblioteca de fotos que contenga texto y mantener presionado el cuadro de texto hasta que aparezca el botón Texto en vivo. A continuación, puede copiar este texto y pegarlo en cualquier lugar que desee.
It works great with the built-in translation tool, which will translate selected text in any application and also allows you to work with the translated text. You can scan a road sign, translate it, and paste that translation into an email, or use it to translate a guidebook when you're on the road. Powerful things.
Privacy monitoring
You can monitor what your apps are doing in iOS 15 using a feature called
Record application activity. Here's a seven-day summary of how often each app accesses its mic, visits websites, and more. It's a great tool for identifying naps that can leak your data or use it beyond what you trust. However, the feature is not enabled by default; Activate it in Settings> Privacy> Log application activity.
Share with Siri
When you come across a URL, image, or message you want to share with a friend or colleague, you can now say, "Hey Siri, share this with" and Siri will do the work for you. It will even send an image of what you want to share if you can't share the content.
Save receipts
Wallet will now automatically archive all of your expired tickets and passes. You can keep them all to remember what it was like to go on a business trip.
Weather alerts
Dark Sky was a great app. Apple acquired the company and many of its functions have been incorporated into Apple's Weather application. One of your best is the accurate and timely forecast of rain or snow where you are; These alerts will now come from the Weather application.
- Open the Weather app.
- Tap the three-line icon in the lower right, then tap the menu button in the upper right.
- Select Notifications and turn on My location.
No trivial notifications
Best used with Focus, the notification summary makes a big difference in your ability to hold your attention. This will allow high priority notifications to pass through, while presenting everything else as a notification summary once or twice a day. Enable it in Settings> Notifications> Scheduled summary> On, where you can also change the time and select which notifications to summarize.
Best timer
iOS 15 sees the return of the thumbwheel time picker as it was used in iOS 13 and earlier versions, but now it also benefits from a hidden number pad.
Change text size for specific applications
This is very useful if you have to spend a lot of time reading or writing reports - you can change the size of the text used by specific applications.
- Open Settings> Control Center and add the Text size
- Now open the application for which you want to set the text size.
- Open the Control Center, select App Only, and hit the Text Size control.
- You can then increase or decrease the size of the text using the slider.
Focus on the lock screen
Spotlight is now available on the lock screen. When used with Face or Touch ID (to authorize who you are), a quick swipe down is all it takes to get to the search bar where you can search for anything. If you are not authorized, you can only search the web.
Shareable notes, tags, more
If you are using shared notes, you can now see who last edited them. Open a shared note, tap the three dots, and choose Show note activity. Notes and reminders now support labels, helping you better organize your notes and reminders.
Apple card security is improved
If you're using the Apple Card, a new feature in iOS 15 called Advanced Fraud Protection creates a three-digit security code that changes periodically for even more secure Apple Card purchases. The downside is that you will have to verify this code every time you want to make a purchase with your card. This protection has no impact on recurring purchases or subscriptions.
Drag and drop apps
Now you can drag text, images, links or files from one application to another. To do this, simply press and hold an item, swipe up to go to the home screen, open the other app, and drop the item in place.
Swipin 'Safari
Hate Safari's new tabbed interface? Many users do. But a good thing is a new swipe gesture which means you only need to swipe left or right on a tab to close it. Or just swipe left or right to navigate between open tabs.
Repair your house (screen)
You can move your home screens as easily as you already move your apps. Touch and hold a screen until all the icons start to move, then touch the little row of dots that you will now see just above the Dock. All of your home screens will appear on the screen and you can drag them into your preferred order. Hide screens by checking the box below them in this view, or tap the minus (-) icon to get rid of this screen entirely.
Be in time to change
Do you need to get somewhere at a certain time? Maps now allows you to specify arrival or departure time when requesting directions. Simply choose the destination, tap Directions, then tap the sky items My Location, Exit Now to find the Arrive Via option.
Don't lose your tagged things
iOS 15 will tell you if you are leaving your AirTags behind. Open Find My and in the AirTags section activate Notify when left behind.
Eliminate unwanted marketing
A new iCloud + feature lets you prevent senders from using web beacons in emails to track you. To enable the setting, which is not enabled by default, go to Settings> Mail> Privacy Protection and enable the option Protect email activity. Many other mail enhancements are listed here.
You can use Siri offline
Siri can now perform certain tasks even when she is not online. It will launch apps, control media playback, switch from dark mode to light mode, set alarms and timers, read your messages to you, and disable and re-enable hardware settings like Bluetooth, AirPlane mode, or Wi-Fi.
Stop, thief!
iOS 15 has two useful theft / loss protection tools. It will find iPhones that have been erased and display a message on the greeting screen warning you when you are looking at a potentially stolen device. This should help make iPhones a less attractive prospect of theft. This is controlled in Settings> Face ID & Passcode> View and Find Today, turn it on (or off) as desired.
More changes to explore
There are hundreds of small changes in iOS 15, even before you get to more expensive things like SharePlay, FaceTime, Messages, Focus, ID cards and keys in Wallet, the ability to share health data or define a digital legacy.
