Hi everyone Aaron here for Zollotech and ios 15 has hundreds of changes and features and while if
you count everything there's about 400 changes or so to all of the different system settings
and little icons and things throughout there are some major changes that i think are super helpful
and while there's not a ton of visual changes like many people wanted there are a lot so i
thought i'd go over the top ios 15 features not only according to me but according to you and
so a couple months ago i asked on twitter do you have a favorite feature of ios 15 and if so what
is it and based off of this with about 70 000 views or so and hundreds of comments i took the
top information and thought we'd go over some of those so some of them range from minor changes to
major changes but i took all of the major changes and the first one is unfortunately not coming to
ios 15 upon its initial launch and that has to do with share play and share play is something that's
featured by apple on their ios 15 preview page and has been for months and that's the ability
to share movies and music and things together while on a facetime call so that option will
not be available at launch but it's one of the number one wanted features in fact my daughter
really likes that feature and was kind of bummed to hear that it wasn't coming out initially so
allow you to watch together listen together share your screen have spatial audio during that and
much more so it's really a nice feature that only is going to be delayed according to apple but the
top feature that a lot of you really liked was weather the weather app you'll see i have the
widget here the weather app has been completely redesigned and so with the weather app there's a
bunch of new features based off of dark sky that apple actually purchased based on the current
weather as you can see it here where i live if we move over to maybe let's go to a different area
where the weather could be different maybe dubai where it's night you'll see the background changed
and there's about a thousand different animations based on this if it's raining where you live the
animation will rain onto the screen and as you scroll down you can see all sorts of information
from the overall temperature based off the location here and what the actual quality
is of the air so if we go into the different layers we have precipitation and air quality
and much more so it gives you all of that now air quality is not available in every country but it
is available in some areas it also tells you sunrise uv index the wind direction visibility
pressure and more so this is great information you'll see there's a ton of different information
here depending on where you live you'll see it's just changing so there's different warnings
included as well i think it's a really great app and for me there's no reason to use another
app because i really really like this particular weather app so i think it does a great job and you
can see it animates right back into the widget and keeps up mostly in real time now the next thing
is focus a lot of people really like focus modes now i did a separate video completely
demonstrating focus and all of the different settings so i'll just show you briefly but you
can see i have a bunch of different focus modes these can be accessed in your control center
or in settings with different focus and you can set them up custom as i have with home evening
based off the focus mode you're on it changes even your home screen so you can change your
home screen layout you'll see i have three pages here if i switch to maybe home evening it changes
everything from notifications to home screens you'll see my home screens disappeared and now
i just have the one screen with my app library if i change that back to something else maybe
work now i'll get notifications from other things you can even hide notification badges and you'll
see i have a bunch of screens now so you have that option and you can have it customized
based on your location where you're at whether you're working whether it's the weekend time of
day and much more so it's a really helpful app some people won't find value in it if you don't
use do not disturb and those things but it's very helpful if you want to focus while you're at work
while you're at home you can get different notifications and more so i think that's something
that a lot of people will appreciate it and is a little bit underrated if you haven't used it yet
the other thing i hear a lot that people like a lot is live text live text lets us take a
photo and copy the photos image text right out of it so we can paste it somewhere else
so you can see this is an iphone 4 box and if we switch to the camera and we'll see if it
recognizes the text here you'll see it's sort of putting bars around it it recognizes text
and we can copy that text right here you'll see if we tap the button that i did in the bottom right
we can copy the text we can select it we can translate it and we can share it so if i copy
it i can paste it somewhere else let's look it up and it will search for it it searches it recognize
that it's iphone 4 searches that term and then gives us more information bookstore you can search
the web and even manage the dictionaries for it so it's a feature that works really well and
it allows you to select that text also the other thing that pertains to photos that a lot of people
like is visual lookup so if we go into photos within photos you'll see here's a photo of a
flower that i took and if we tap on it you have an eye at the bottom and that eye has a little star
in the upper left if we tap on that it gives us more information about it and it recognizes that
it's a plant if i tap on the image here it will find similar plants and try and find things that
are related it says it's a rose bush and it sort of finds other images similar to it now i'm not
sure that it's a rose in fact i don't think that it is but i could be wrong but you'll see that it
gives more information about it and it's using visual lookup to not only identify plants but
it can identify animals and landmarks and more so this is a great feature and i think one of
the best features in ios if you use this sort of thing all of the time now the next feature i think
a lot of people have been requesting additional options and more for and that's notifications
apple has redone notifications a little bit here and as you can see i have a few different ones
whether they're time sensitive it will let you know that you also have notification summaries
throughout the day so you'll have different information that will say while you were away
while you were in focus and it's better sorted based on time of day so if i swipe to the left
here we have some options and we have turn off time sensitive configure in home so we can adjust
this to give us notifications based on location and we can view settings or turn it off altogether
we have a bunch of different settings now for our notifications so we can immediately deliver it
have a scheduled summary just let us know about it later on and also the typical notification
settings we had before such as the banner style or we can have it announce notifications if
we're wearing airpods and more so there's a lot of settings for customization now
within notifications that we didn't have before it also has a slight visual overhaul as well
so we have those stacked notifications and as you can see there's a bunch of them here again
for different options depending on how we swipe you'll see our options here to clear them all
or we can just press and hold to clear all of the notifications so i think that's really nice that
they've given those options and it can be highly customized based on what you like so that's a
great update to ios 15. the next thing i thought was a little bit surprising because it's more
controversial and that has to do with safari some people absolutely love this update i think it is
a really nice update and as you can see here it is a little bit different and it has the address
bar at the bottom now this can be customized now thankfully so if we tap on the a's we can change
it to the address bar at the top like it has with ios 14 if you don't like that style altogether
and you basically have the same browser as ios 14 but with additional security updates
and the ability to add extensions and more you can also tap on this and then search with your voice
right away so that's something they've added that i think is very helpful so if we search for iphone
you'll see it searches for iphone right away in whatever search search engine or whatever you're
using whether that be google or duckduckgo or more again we can move that back to the bottom we can
swipe to go back and we also have tab groups and much more so there's a lot of options here and
we have a customizable home page as well so if i close these you'll see that we have a customizable
home screen just like we do on mac and ipad now so it gives us our privacy report or whatever we
customize and then you have a wallpaper in the background as well so there's a lot of updates
to safari additional privacy is more and more along with private relay if you have icloud plus
so i think this is a great update to ios 15. i think a lot of people will appreciate this
now i have a couple more i wanted to share with you as well and the first one is accessibility
accessibility features are huge for a lot of people and i think one of the best accessibility
features that's really underrated is the ability to customize your screen and text size
based on a per app basis so if we go into music we'll go into music we'll go into my library and
if we go into the control center and we have the option for the text option here you can
just add it in your settings press and hold now we have the option to customize the text
size on a per app basis so we can have it affect all apps or just music only maybe we want to make
the text much larger in music we go back out now we have huge text if we go back out and go into
maybe we'll go into safari again you'll see that the text has not changed if we go to apple
it has not been adjusted but if we swipe back and go to the music app it's adjusted for that so we
have the option to change it here we can bring it down and affect that based on a per app basis so i
think it's a super helpful feature that's highly underrated because it's something that i think
a lot of people will benefit from some apps are more difficult to see than others for some people
so in settings where we're in our notification settings if you need settings to be a little bit
bigger you can do that just for settings only so it's really great to see that
however it works for you is available here and this customization i think is very valuable
to a lot of people including myself as i like to change the overall size on a bunch of different
apps so that's one of the best accessibility features and then another feature that i think
i'm not sure this is an accessibility feature but it is under accessibility and that is under
sound so if we go down to sounds of course we had sound recognition before but if we go under
audio and visual we now have background sounds and background sounds are great for studying
in fact this is one of the most i think simple updates that's super helpful so if we go into
background sounds we can turn this on and we have the option for different sounds so we have rain
we have ocean stream dark noise bright noise and balance to noise all of these are options that
are in ios 15. so you can tell it to stop when you lock the phone you can play a sample of it
and you can adjust the volume however you'd like so you have the option to turn that on
and you'll see it just says plays background sounds to mask unwanted environmental noise
so they can help you just kind of focus and relax and i think all of the focus to things like focus
and background sounds are a huge addition to ios 15 and there's a lot of features in addition to
what i already mentioned but i think those are the top that most people are really interested
in there's additions to facetime and wallet and much much more siri and more and i'll share that
in a full review when ios 15 is fully launched to the public let me know what your favorite feature
though is in the comments below and of course i'll link this wallpaper in the description like
