News & Reviews:   iOS 15

For large screens, it makes sense to take full advantage of the space available. However, picture-in-picture mode isn't always available. That's the case for the YouTube TV app on Apple devices, but it looks like YouTube has finally managed to add the feature to iOS.

WhatsApp is bringing its first new feature in 2022. The messaging platform will now allow iOS users to view the profile pictures in the notifications from top-screen banners and the Notification Center when they receive a text.

When it comes to software, there's always going to be bugs when a new version is out. That's no different for iOS, which is now on version 15 for iPhones. Fortunately, Apple is quick with updates and has released iOS 15.1.1.

It's been two weeks since iOS 15 got released globally. However, it was reported that not many iPhone users have adopted the new operating system when compared to iOS 14. In fact, it is lower and slower than last year's figures.

In case you missed it, iOS 15 has been released on 21 September at 1 AM. As a new software upgrade from iOS 14, this is quite a big file to download (approximately 3GB) so it's best to download and install it overnight. But anyway, I have taken the liberty to explore what's new and there are some impressive features to take note of.

Today, Apple's latest iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 are now available to download and install. As usual, if you own an iPhone or iPad that are eligible for the upgrade, you may head over to the Settings > General > Software Update to get started. 

Other than several new devices announced at the last Apple event, the latest operating system updates including iOS 15, iPadOS 15, and watchOS 8 had made their appearances as well. They are also going to be the earliest "products" to be released to the public. At 1 am on 21 September, users of Apple devices in Malaysia will get to enjoy the latest build of those mentioned operating systems. 

Sorry, Apple fans. Looks like the anticipated SharePlay feature on iOS 15 will be delayed until further notice. The Apple development team just shared the news on its webpage confirming that SharePlay is now disabled in not only iOS 15 but as well as iPadOS 15, tvOS 15 and macOS Monterey beta 6 versions.

Those who signed up for Apple's beta testing program can now download the iOS and iPadOS 15 from the Public Beta website. According to sources, the company had added plenty of new features for the latest iOS.

By now, most Apple fans have read the news about the upcoming iOS 15, iPadOS 15, watchOS 8 and macOS Monterey. Among all the features, all the operating system share one thing in common which is the Private Relay which lets you see how apps are using permissions that you have granted them. However, the Chinese market won't be benefitting from this at all.
