Attention to all iPhone users, iOS 15.2 is now released and you should be able to update it from your Settings app. As always, you can just go to Settings -> General -> Software Update but if it's not appearing, just wait for a bit longer. If you're wondering what's new, read on below to check them out.
One of the newest features from iOS 15.2 is the Apple Music Voice Plan. It's a new subscription tier that offers you to use Siri to access every song, playlist and station in Apple Music. It sounds weird but just bear with me, basically - you can just use Siri to suggest you something based on your listening history and likes or dislikes.
Another important feature is an improved App Privacy Report. This time, the App Privacy Report in the Settings will allow you to check out how often third-party apps have been monitoring your location, photos, camera, microphone, contacts and others during the last seven days. On the other hand, parents can now enable warnings for their children if they receive or send nude images in Messages.
