FaceTime: a new connected experience in iOS 15
In iOS 15, FaceTime gets an upgrade. This newest feature update allows users to simultaneously watch TV shows and movies, listen to music or share their screen while continuing their conversations. FaceTime’s SharePlay feature allows you to be even more connected and share irreplaceable moments, despite the distance.
With new spatial audio in FaceTime, voices during conversations will sound as if they are coming from the directions in which each person is positioned on the screen in the new Grid view. Grid view enables users to have more efficient calls with larger groups, highlighting the speaker and organizing each person in the same size frames.

Messages now transformed
A new major update within iOS 15 is Focus, where users can customize which notifications they would like to receive in order to direct their full attention on what they choose. Apple will automatically suggest options or users can generate their own based on their preferences. Through Focus, users are also able to share their status by letting others know if they are busy, which will be directly displayed in Messages. For urgent notifications, users will still be able to send and receive these messages despite using Focus.
Within Messages, all links, images and other content shared within conversations in Messages can be found in the brand new “Shared with You” section in each corresponding app. This new section is built into Photos, Safari, Apple News, Apple Music and Apple TV apps already on an individuals’ iPhone.
The latest addition in messages called Photo Collections will transform the photo finding experience. This feature presents multiple photos in Messages as a collage or in a stack of images. Now, users can swipe through, change the display or save images directly within the app.
Major software changes can cause significant challenges for users. By having the right support tools to deliver accurate and reliable answers to users, your customers can experience new upgrades like Focus with ease.
All of users' favorite features, redesigned
Within iOS 15, notifications are reimagined with a completely new format that features contact photos and larger app icons to make it much easier for users to identify who or what is notifying them. Users can now quickly catch up with all of their notifications with an efficient summary that is delivered daily and ordered by priority for the best experience.
Also, Safari is now even more customizable with an all-new layout. The new tab bar maximizes total screen space, therefore enhancing the user’s exploration journey. The tab bar is located at the bottom of the screen, so users will only need to use their thumb to navigate through Safari. iOS 15 also enables people to group tabs together, syncing from each of their devices. Users can also now search in Safari using their voice and add extensions straight to their iPhone, just as they can on desktop.
These new configurations make the user experience more customizable and efficient. To assist customers with their new personalized experiences, users can benefit from self-serve support tools to guide them independently.
