hi guys what's up you guys it's Adrienne welcome back to my channel and welcome
to today's video I'm so so excited for this because I haven't done a video like
this in a really long time so in today's video I'm gonna be talking about iOS 12
the new iOS that has not rolled out yet at least past beta and unfortunately I'm
not one of those public beta testers but I'm going to be talking to you about the
12 most important iOS 12 changes that are gonna be coming and which ones are
useful which ones aren't and kind of my take on them as well as some rumored
things that I have heard within the little apple high phone community that
could be really interesting to see if they end up being true or not so I hope
you guys are as excited as I am to just dive right into iOS 12 features I still
have my iPhone 10 haven't really done much lately on iPhone stuff because
there hasn't been much to talk about my last video was what's on my iPhone 10 so
if you are interested in that I will link it down below but really you guys
without further ado I think we should just get right on into the features so
basically I'm gonna be talking about each feature and then I'm gonna raid it
between 1 and 10 10 being like the best feature ever I think it's the most
useful it's awesome it's really gonna change our lives one being like this
sucks so the first feature I'm gonna look at and I think most people have
already heard about this and have been talking about this is that FaceTime is
now gonna be able to hold basically up to 32 users at once so my first
impression right off the bat of course is like 32 people is way too many people
for FaceTime or anything for that matter and the only time that I think 32 people
would be useful is in a business setting so in a conference call setting not
necessarily where 32 people have to speak at once even then in a conference
call setting I feel like having 32 faces on your screen and having to like figure
out how each person can like talk would just be hard for the company but I guess
that's not apples problem that's the company's problem so it is really cool
that you are finally able to incorporate more people into FaceTime I think this
definitely is gonna be scary for companies like Skype and like Google
hangout or group meet things like that have multiple video chat settings up
already they also have this feature where like the tile so the image of the
person talking will become the most prominent image and the other people
will be smaller so kind of like how you're seeing right here the only
problem with this is that with that many people like won't ever gonna just talk
over each other I don't know so this is really cool this will def
come in handy for when like my friends and I need to FaceTime but I do think 32
people who's way too freakin many people also you're able to start this FaceTime
right from a message thread so if you have a group text and you're trying to
like get everyone to come over or something you could just push FaceTime
but then I'm wondering what happens when someone doesn't answer maybe they just
don't get on the call or some I don't I guess I'm gonna rate group FaceTime like
a seven out of ten because I feel like it'll definitely be beneficial but I
think that having up to 32 people is just like way too many but again not my
problem I don't work at a company with 32 people so it doesn't really matter so
the next feature I'm gonna talk about is the measure app the reason why this is
at the top of my list is because I just think it's so interesting and kind of
confusing because I do not for the life of me understand the technology in which
your phone could measure something because what if you're like far away
from the item or really close up how is it gonna know the difference but
basically the measure app is going to be this virtual reality app virtual or
augmented reality I'm not good at like the terminology you guys but it is an
app where the virtual reality technology has become so good that it can actually
measure dimensions of objects in front of you so as demonstrated in the Apple
Keynote you basically just take the measure app you look at the item and
then you kind of tap and drag your finger where you want to measure and it
seems too good to be true it seems
that's so so so cool I think this is awesome but like how do you trust that
especially can we just notice that it says lengths approximate so I don't know
I just feel like there may be some issues with this I would be definitely
curious to see once it actually comes out whether it is extremely accurate or
not I'm super excited to test out this feature I could make a whole video on
just testing this but I do think that if it works that would be a really really
cool feature to have I just I don't know how well it's gonna work so because of
that I'll give it another seven out of ten
okay the next feature I'm going to talk about is the me emoji so this is like a
spin off the an emoji but it's actually you so you can create your own little
meme oh geez that is like your movable face I guess here's my thought on this
number one they are obviously trying to just cut bitmoji out of the equation we
all love bitmoji I don't think I'll ever like stop using bitmoji and I just think
that me emoji and are just pointless I mean I've never
used to this feature do people even use it I'm I honestly don't even think
anyone uses it to the fact that they are continuing to improve upon this feature
and actually spend time and money and resources on like improving this is a
little bit concerning to me just cuz I really don't feel like people use it I
think they're just doing this to try to compete with bitmoji one thing that they
added to this as well is they added tongue detection so something that
they're making a really big deal in these keynote videos and whatnot is the
fact that now your phone will be able to detect your tongue when you're sticking
it out or around to these animo G's that our animals will be able to stick their
tongues out so the thing that has me a little bit skeptical about this is just
that I really feel like the only reason they may have done this like adding this
tongue detection technology is if they had a bigger better reason to use this
now what reason would that be well I wonder what sucks about the iPhone 10
everyone complains about face ID so I'm curious to see if they are somehow going
to be slowly implementing in a little tongue detection tongue ID situation so
then if you like stick out your tongue that's how you're gonna unlock your
phone or maybe if it doesn't detect your face if you stick out your tongue it'll
detect it from your tongue it sounds crazy but I would not put it past them
because one of the biggest critiques that Apple has gotten with the new
iPhone 10 is that face detection doesn't always work and it's annoying
so we'll see let's mark my words let's see if I'm right I don't know we'll see
so I'm gonna rate the new meme oh geez like a 2 out of 10 I seriously just
think they're so pointless I never use them I don't know anyone who does use
them if you guys do and I'm wrong please let me know but I just think it's dumb
personally the next feature is screen time so I actually am a big fan of this
I think it's awesome it's definitely going to put a couple other apps that
specialize in this to rest or not it depends on if people just stick with
what they already know or if they want to adapt to this but basically there are
other apps like moment etc that basically can monitor your screen time
and your amount of time on certain apps on your phone but the problem is that a
lot of those third-party apps do charge money for each of those features and
Apple is here basically introducing that to us for free so I'm a big fan of this
I think that everyone could benefit from spending less time on screens last time
on social media all of us are constantly just in our phones
down not head up and I just think that it could be really beneficial for
everyone not just monitoring your children which that's a good thing too
but I think everyone could benefit from just spending less time on social media
last time in their phones so I really like this basically the app will be able
to help you monitor how many minutes you spend on each app and you can also set
limits for how long you spend on each app and overall it'll just help you
better understand your habits I think a lot of you would be terrified to know
like actually how many hours you spend on Instagram I know I would be that's
why I don't want to know because ignorance is bliss so I think that this
is great I will give this a 10 out of 10 of course I don't know how well it works
cuz I haven't tested it but I don't really see why wouldn't work seems
pretty simple to me so 10 out of 10 god I'm such a mom for doing that a ton of
it the next feature that I think is so so helpful is going to be notification
management so we've seen a lot of updates with notification settings on
different iOS is over time but this one definitely if it pans out the way that
they're saying it will could be one of the best something that really really
annoys me is when your home screen can just get fluttered with notifications
but it's not necessarily ones that you can turn off for example if you're in a
group text message and a bunch of people are texting you you're getting
individual notifications for each one of those people and that's really really
overwhelming so I don't love that however I don't want to miss the
notification altogether so what Apple is basically saying that they're gonna
start doing now is group certain notifications together so that if you
have all these text messages they'll instead put them all under one little
thing and it'll say like you have that many text messages plus for more or
whatever just like this and this I'm a big big fan of because my notifications
not only overwhelm me and give me anxiety but I don't even read all of
them and sometimes I miss important stuff because there are so many so at
least if I know oh I'm looking out for an email I should go click on that email
group notifications I'm gonna be curious to see if when you click on it it'll
like just expand that or whether it'll take you to Gmail because I would love
it if it would like just expand what you're looking at in that moment but
we'll just have to see I guess something else they're adding is the ability to
deliver notifications quietly so instead of having a vibrate or a sound certain
ones will show up on your phone still but not make a noise when your sound is
on I personally don't ever use noises for alerts I just checked my phone that
often I don't have vibrate or sound so it doesn't really matter to me but I
will rate this one an 8 out of 10 because I really
I'm excited for it but I know that there are a lot of things that could go wrong
or be annoying about it so I'm really really hoping this one works really well
and that it really makes our lives the next feature I'm going to talk about is
the for you tab on photos so Apple is adding this for you tab that shows great
moments from your photo library and intelligently suggest sharing photos
with the people in them I love the idea of having an easier way to share photos
with people every time I've ever tried to make a shared album like on iPod on
my photos it never works I don't know why but we it just never shows up on
each other's phone so I definitely think that they needed to improve upon this
but I could just see them having chosen the wrong things to improve upon it
looks like they're kind of taking the memories function that we have now and
really revamping that but in my opinion like who even uses memories I never have
I don't like them I don't think they're really useful but like what would be
nice is if you could take an album and just share an entire album without
making a shared album so I'm gonna be curious to see if this means that you
could take an album that you made and share the entire album like send it to
them or if it's just gonna mean that on the for you tab they're grouping
together stuff because what I don't like is that Apple is the one like grouping
it together they have you know they have software that intelligently suggests
certain things so I would rather do it myself I'd rather create an album and
share that so I'm gonna be curious to see if you can text someone a whole
album if not I'd give it like a 5 out of 10 because honestly memories are so
pointless I think they don't really do anything I never use them it's just a
feature that it's cool but not really useful I will also say on a side note of
that though another photo capability that they are adding is the ability to
process raw images and edit right from your iPhone or iPad this is awesome for
people like me who do photography and videography I've been only shooting in
RAW as of late and so I love editing raw photos on my Photoshop and Lightroom on
my computer however it's been hard because I can't process those photos on
my phone as easily and now that Photoshop and Lightroom and other apps
have really smart apps on your phone and not just on a desktop version it makes
editing on the go really really easy yeah a smarter way to search your photos
I mean that's great and all but that also means a way more creepy way so
phones are already so creepy the amount of things that the amount of data that
is tracked the amount of times that your phone is like listening to what you say
and then show you an ad based on what you said is just
so creepy so I don't know if I really needed a smarter way to search for
photos I felt like it was actually pretty good already like I could just
search glasses and it would basically show me any photos where I was wearing
glasses which i think is insanely intelligent so I don't really see why we
need more but you know what it's fine the next one is shortcuts so now Apple
is creating its own app called shortcuts so this is cool also a little bit creepy
but basically in the shortcuts app you can really create shortcuts especially
using third-party apps that aren't Apple which is nice so let's say that every
day at 9 a.m. I drove to work using Waze so I could create a shortcut to start
navigating me with Waze at night and so that's cool those types of things are
really awesome but I also think that like not everything's in a routine so
like the example they're giving is that you typically pick up a coffee on the
way to work Siri will learn that routine and suggest when to place an order from
the lock screen so again that's like a really cool function it's also kind of
like creepy in a marketing sense because it's gonna like put ideas in your head
and make you go want to do it even if you weren't gonna buy coffee you'll be
like oh yeah I will it's easy I think that it's a very very cool thing
shortcuts are great I mean I wish that I could shortcut a lot of things on my
phone so I will give this an 8 out of 10 because I think this will be a really
cool feature if it works the way that we think it'll work and it's not too creepy
and it's not too annoying I think it'll be a pretty good another feature that no
one's really talked about very much but I think is really cool is that Siri is
now gonna have a lot more knowledge about food
that sounds really random but for people who want more information about the
calories and things how much caffeine is in something is fish healthy things like
that those are just examples that they give you can actually ask Siri questions
about these now and she has more knowledge on this topic from the USDA
database including calories vitamins and how healthy a food is overall she'll be
able to tell you that kind of information when you ask so I think
that's cool just for someone who is very interested in food and health and
fitness and things like that I do think Siri is a dumb little bit and
like needs to know more things so that'll be really cool and I would rate
that a 10 out of 10 if it actually works probably won't cuz Syria never works
number 10 is privacy as we all know and I'm not even gonna get into privacy and
data collection has been a huge controversial topic as of late and I
totally understand why it all started with me spark of all the Facebook data
it's just it's a huge huge mass so I thought this was particularly
because it's really showing how much Apple is trying to take a dig Facebook
and just at all these other websites that don't protect your privacy so their
literal headline is iOS protects your privacy even when websites don't Apple
believes privacy is a fundamental human right so they're basically just
completely knocking down every website that you use your data improperly which
honestly they should because it is messed up but you can't help but think
okay you're helping other websites not collect so much data and yet you Apple
and iPhone and everything are still equally collecting just as much if not
more data I don't know who to believe anymore I I just feel like every iPhone
user is gonna be like great I trust that and they really are implementing
different ways to manage how websites do take your data so we have more ability
to block things from third-party websites from our phones so that's that
is cool and that is definitely moving in the right direction it's just we're
gonna really sensitive time right now I don't know how well it's gonna work so
we'll just have to see about that so I would rate that a 6 out of 10 because I
just I don't know one thing about privacy that I do think it's cool that
they're doing though is that you know when like Facebook or Twitter whenever
you need a code to type in for security purposes they'll text you they'll send
you an SMS so now when you get a text message like that that gives you like a
four digit code or a six digit code that you have to type in online that code
will actually be auto remembered temporarily so it'll give you a certain
amount of time or it'll remember so that if you get that text and then you go
over to that website and have to type it in you can just push from the autofill
password little section because it'll just temporarily copy that it just
allows you to not have to like memorize the number so I guess that's handy and
last but not least one of the features that also wasn't very talked about but I
really like it is this contact list student ID card I personally love using
the wallet on my phone I used to never use it I don't pay through it or
anything but every time I go on a plane I put my boarding pass there I think
it's so handy and useful so I just can't imagine how cool that would be for
students to have it on their phone I remember when I was in college I would
lose my student ID card so many times and like it cost fifteen or twenty bucks
every time you lost it and as a college student that was a lot of money so I
could have saved myself a lot of money by just having it on my phone at the
time so I do think that's really cool to be able to like go around college
campuses and have it be contactless the next thing will be having everything be
contactless I think our credit cards should be contactless we
should just have to swipe it over you know a credit card reader at a store and
be able to do it just like every other country in the freaking world does
except for us so I definitely rate that a 10 out of 10 all right you guys so
those were my 12 best and worst but mostly best features for iOS 12 that I
am very very excited for I will definitely be making videos testing and
reviewing these features once I can update to iOS 12 so I'm really excited
for when that rolls around I hope you guys enjoyed watching this leave me some
feedback down below what you like or don't like about what's coming I just
hope that it continues to get better I feel like Apple's gotten a little bit
wack ever since Steve Jobs died but you know what it's fine it's still doing
things that a lot of other companies aren't doing it's very innovative it's
trying to do new things and you know we'll just we'll see what happens so
thank you so much for watching and give this a thumbs up if you enjoyed it
subscribe if you haven't already and I will see you guys in my next video I
love you so much bye
