iOS 15 introduced several new features and improvements. Here are some of the key updates:

  1. FaceTime Enhancements: Spatial audio, voice isolation, and wide spectrum modes were added to improve call quality. FaceTime links allowed users to schedule calls and join from non-Apple devices via a web browser.

  2. Focus Mode: This feature helps users reduce distractions by filtering notifications and apps based on what they want to focus on at a particular time.

  3. Live Text: This feature allows users to interact with text in photos, such as copying and pasting, looking up information, and translating.

  4. Redesigned Notifications: Notifications received a new look with larger icons and contact photos, and a new notification summary that collects non-urgent notifications to be delivered at a more convenient time.

  5. Privacy Enhancements: New privacy features included Mail Privacy Protection, which hides IP addresses and prevents senders from knowing when an email has been opened, and the App Privacy Report, which shows how often apps use the permissions they’ve been granted.

  6. Safari Redesign: Safari received a new tab bar design, tab groups, and improved performance.

  7. Maps Improvements: Enhanced details in cities, new driving features, and improved transit navigation.

  8. Wallet Updates: Support for additional types of keys and IDs, including driver's licenses in participating states in the US.

  9. Health App Updates: New sharing features, walking steadiness metrics, and trends analysis.

  10. Weather App Redesign: New design with more graphical displays of weather data, full-screen maps, and dynamic layouts that change based on conditions.
