 All right guys iOS 15 has now been released to the public and in this video I'm going to showcase to you my top five iOS 15 features that you probably use on a daily basis now You guys have probably seen all of the new features that this comes with you've seen all of the videos But today I'm only going to be focusing on the ones which I think you guys probably going to use the most often And which are the most practical, so let's go ahead and dive straight in Okay, so you can see here on the Apple website plenty of new things that have been released You know, there's a bunch of things that have been improved with FaceTime You can do share play you can share your screen whilst you're having FaceTime video calls You know all of these features are quite nice, but myself I don't really use FaceTime that often So I'm not going to be covering a lot about that Then you also have a bunch of things around messages and emojis again I primarily use WhatsApp So I'm not going to cover a lot of things on this topic, but there has been plenty of improvements This is where I'm going to begin. So number one for me personally is this new focus feature Now I've been waiting for this for quite a while and this is something that I really was looking forward to And I'm so happy that this is finally here If like myself you work with international teams You have a set of work apps on your phone and then you also have all of your personal apps I work with teams internationally that once I log off from work at 5 p.m in the evening They continue to work abroad for another seven hours of my day So they keep sending me messages and emails, you know up until very late at night My time so I keep getting those notifications And it's so much of a hassle to keep continuing to turn off like outlook microsoft teams Slack those kind of apps related to work every single day What this does essentially it creates a profile on your phone as your work profile and your personal profile And there's plenty of other profiles you can create as well As you can see here from the screenshot you can create fitness ones gaming ones driving ones There's plenty of different options. The first thing I'm going to do is go ahead and create a work profile So as soon as I finish my work day, I can switch to the Personal profile and that would allow me to turn off notifications for any work related items So let's go ahead and see how we can do that So you go into settings and you'll see this new option here called focus You select that you've got sleep personal work. So I'm going to set up the work one Okay, so here you can choose the apps that you want to allow for notifications During work hours, you can see it automatically picked up a few things. So I'm going to Add a couple more. So I need to add slack into this as well because that's work related I've got my email apps. I've got my vpn And pretty much I'm going to keep it to this if there's anything else then I can go in and add some more apps So I'm going to click on allow And that's essentially it you've got some options here home screen You can set the notifications on the home screen and the lock screen as well to be on during the work profile And then what I would most likely do is set up a schedule. So when you click on add schedule You can do between a certain time zone. So I would do Let's say for example 8 a.m. And I'll do it till 5 p.m. Monday to Friday and I'll set that schedule click on done And there it is it's set up and then what I can do is go ahead and set up my personal profile And to switch between these focus modes all you need to do is swipe down from the top And you'll see there right next to the brightness in the middle. You have focus if you select that You just quickly switch to the one you want number two is the update to maps now I've always notoriously used google maps for everything and Based on the updates that they've released. I think I may switch to apple maps now You know, there's some really cool things. I've seen released here, especially around the driving features Now I've got apple car play in my car as well. And I do use google maps for that navigation But some of the things that the apple maps was lacking has now been released. So things like the Camera notifications. You can also see more details of the road things like the filter lanes crossings and bike lanes So you have a more street level perspective of where you're driving And this is very convenient if you're going to a new location and you're not familiar with the routes Then this is actually going to really help you find the right ways by seeing what lanes and What things to avoid and those kind of things And there's plenty of other cool things that I really like about this as well You know, you have all of these immersive walking instruction improvements as well based on my all mental reality That's going to be compatible with certain cities So you need to see the compatibility list and you also have transport features So you can even get directions now for cycle routes and again, that's something that's compatible only in certain areas So do check your city and the country that you live in But if you wanted to also check the transport times, there's so many improvements here as well And this also syncs with your apple watch So if you have an apple watch like me Then it can get navigation updates on your watch in real time whilst you're actually Driving or riding your cycle or anything like that If I quickly show you the apple maps on my macbook, this is something really cool as well So what i'm going to do is go into the flyover mode, which for me is really cool I'm going to switch over satellite view here in central london You know, this is basic everyone has seen this but then when you switch into 3d view That looks really cool. You know, you can really just fly over the city And you know, i'm here in central london and just take a look at how cool this is you can see it lags a little bit But you know, I feel like this is pretty much accurate to just flying over in a small plane And it's just something I think I will use this going forward just to map out my routes Just because it's a little bit fine as well So there's plenty of cool maps features that i'm super happy with And i've even tested this out with the updated apple maps using apple carplay in my car So as i was driving i was trying to see how many improvements there were And again, there's more signage and traffic updates that really help when you're driving But the one thing i was really lacking with apple maps in apple carplay Is the response times to actually where my car was on the road There was probably a two or three second delay and in terms of that I used to sometimes miss my turnings because it was off sync with the app on the navigation Compared to where I was on the road and as I was driving today, I tested it out and it was more closely synced So I feel like it was kind of like real time and much more improved than last time So i'm going to continue trying apple carplay apple maps for my driving navigations And number three is the weather app on your iPhone I've not really used the weather app too much because I feel like it wasn't detailed enough But it's so much convenient now to see like the hourly weather forecast And it just makes it so much nicer to dive in for a little bit more details And then you also have now a 10 day forecast And what I really like is the animated backgrounds as well to show you what the weather is like outdoors So as you can see it's pretty cold, it's rainy, it's a miserable day today But I just feel like it's so much easier to browse and see what the weather will look like For multiple hours throughout the entire day and for the rest of the week Before it was a little bit too basic, so I used to just use another website in safari To go and see what the weather would be and number four speaking on the topic of safari I really like the updates they've made to that browser, especially on the iPhone You know, I use safari for doing a lot of research. I google a lot of things And the navigation has been very fiddly You know, I sometimes just use google chrome on my iPhone as the main browser But I feel like I can now use safari because it's so much nicer to use So as you can see the key difference here is the bottom tab bar has now been introduced rather than at the top And then you can also create tab groups So here's an example what I really like about this, you know, I have a few tabs open If you just swipe across the bottom tab bar, you can quickly switch between all of your open tabs For me that is super convenient and it's so much easier and it makes things more productive This thing around the tab groups, I think this is a nice feature to have So when you click on the tabs icon at the bottom, so you can see I have five tabs here Now if you hit the tab number at the bottom, it allows you to create a tab group So at the bottom you have two options, a new empty tab group or a new tab group from the five tabs you already have open So what this allows you to do is open up a set of tabs that relate to something specific that you're looking for So if I let's say Do a new empty tab group and I'll say apple related hit save Then I can basically switch now between the five tabs and the apple related tabs And if I wanted to move any of these open tabs to the new apple group tab that I've created What I need to do is just hold down one of them Click on move to tab group and then select apple tabs So I'm going to move two tabs I have related to Apple and then just move that so now I have three tabs here And then I can go there click on apple related And you know, this is something convenient if you do a lot of research for let's say your work Then you can have work related tabs Then you have your personal related tabs. It's another extension. I guess to the focus profiles So I think this is very nice to have and it's just very convenient, especially if you use safari quite a lot And last but not least number five notifications Now we all know apple notifications are very clunky. They're not the greatest I've been super impressed with the Android notifications and ever since what I switched to apple I've always been disappointed with the way the notifications are They've made some improvements and again, it's still not perfect But I think they're moving in the right direction and they do look a lot cleaner So you can see they do have a bit of a redesign They're a little bit more compact as well in some cases. They do group a little bit better now But again, I think the grouping still is a little bit of an issue But I just feel like the notifications is something that's been neglected by apple for so long That this is something they, you know, should have focused on for a while And I feel like although they're quite not there They're on the right track. So for me, I'm personally happy that I can get more meaningful notifications on my lock screen and on my notification center So that's it guys Those are my top five practical apps that you would probably use most often with the new iOS 15 update Of course, there's a whole bunch of new things as well, which are really nice Which I didn't mention in this video live text for example I have tried this out with my camera and it does a very good job picking up the text That you can just copy and paste and put it into notes or messages or anything like that Spotlight improvements photos improvements. There's plenty of things and You know one thing I do also want to mention is this new privacy update Which probably a lot of people don't talk about I think this is quite nice Where you can actually have mail privacy protection What that essentially means is you get the option to hide your email address Especially when you're signing up to online forms or newsletters And then you don't want people to spam you all the time or capture your real email address Then you can just put in a fake one and that will automatically redirect To your actual email address just for a little bit of added peace of mind and security I think that's a very nice thing to have But there's plenty of things take a look at the link down below of this Apple iOS 15 page To see all of the full list of features. There's plenty of things I didn't mention But if you did find those top five apps very useful And you feel like you're going to use those as well Make sure to give this video a huge thumbs up Make sure to also subscribe I'm going to have plenty of iPhone related videos out in the near future I have new videos out every week So hit that button so you don't miss those ones And I'll catch you guys next time Take care
