**The Future is Now: Apple's iOS 12 and iPadOS Upgrades**

The latest upgrades from Apple have left us all excited about the future of technology. In this article, we'll dive into the details of what's new and improved in iOS 12 and iPadOS.

**9-1-1 and Location Sharing**

Every time you call 9-1-1, your exact location data is shared with emergency services immediately. However, if you don't want to share your location, you can disable this functionality. The ability to share location information could potentially save lives, but it's a feature that's become increasingly common in modern smartphones.

**iPhone 10 and iOS 12**

On the iPhone 10, there are several new features that make life easier. For example, the no more accidental screenshots feature is a game-changer. To avoid taking a screenshot accidentally, you'll need to turn on your screen first before clicking volume up and the power button. Additionally, with the release of iOS 12, you can now easily access apps by swiping up from the bottom of your screen. This makes it much faster to switch between apps and find what you're looking for.

**Music App Enhancements**

The music app has also received a major upgrade in iOS 12. One of the coolest features is the ability to search for songs by lyrics. If you remember a snippet of a song, you can now easily search for it and listen to the full track. The music app will even suggest an artist or album based on your search query.

**Control Center**

The control center has also been improved in iOS 12. One new feature is the ability to scan QR codes using the camera app. While this feature may seem redundant, it's actually quite useful and works seamlessly with other Apple devices.

**iPad Upgrades**

But what about the iPad? The latest upgrade for iPads is essentially an iPhone 10, minus the home button. With iOS 12, you can swipe up to access the app switcher, dismiss apps with ease, and even use the control center from the top right corner of your screen.

**Portrait Mode Improvements**

One of the most significant upgrades in iOS 12 is the improved portrait mode on your iPhone. The camera now uses a separate mask to detect faces and objects more accurately than before. This means that your photos will look even better, with more precise edge detection.

**Face ID and Biometric Security**

Face ID has also been upgraded in iOS 12. One new feature allows you to set up an alternate appearance for Face ID, so if you look different at other times, your iPhone can learn to recognize you. Additionally, if you fail to scan your face when trying to unlock your phone, you can now swipe up again to rescan.

**AR and Live Listen**

Apple has also improved augmented reality (AR) capabilities in iOS 12. The new ARKit software uses a universal AR format that's compatible with a variety of devices. This means that developers will be able to create more complex and immersive AR experiences than ever before.

**Security and Privacy Features**

In addition to all the new features, Apple has also improved security and privacy measures in iOS 12. One notable feature is the ability for computers to automatically authenticate iPhone users. This means that if you're connected to a computer, you'll need to be unlocked on your iPhone to access data transfer or sync services.

**Automatic Software Updates**

Another major upgrade in iOS 12 is the availability of automatic software updates. With this feature, your iPhone will now receive updates overnight, so you don't have to manually check for them.

**CarPlay and Google Maps Integration**

Finally, CarPlay has been improved in iOS 12. The new version allows users to access Google Maps directly from their car's infotainment system. This makes it much easier to navigate with a GPS device while driving.

Overall, the upgrades in iOS 12 and iPadOS are significant and will make your life easier and more enjoyable. Whether you're an iPhone or iPad user, there's something for everyone in this latest version of Apple's operating system.

about that is that if you were on the iOS 12 gold master Edition there will be no software update in the over-the-air settings it is the exact same build number as that and everyone already on GM has no reason to update and Apple will be releasing a small number update here very soon to open 0.1 likely so keep an eye out for that one and whether you have an old or new iOS device I was told brings

interface so going into here when actually selecting the tool you can actually see the opacity right there and change accordingly and there's a new color picker with a hundred and twenty color combinations as far as wallpapers go Apple did add one new wallpaper to iOS 12 but did remove the old Iowa's 10-1 and iBooks in iOS 12 has been renamed to books and received a new interface the news app has also been tweaked so it's made simpler now there is no longer a for you tab it's much easier to find new sources using this new interface the voice memos app has been redesigned with an entirely new interface it's much more functional now and straight to the point both the camera and the notes application have a new 3d touch toggles and options here there's a new scan QR code one on the camera and going into the Notes one here are those and on the home screen as you can see there's a new default orientation for all of the icons with FaceTime up in the top left now an actual FaceTime has support for up to 32 people group FaceTime unfortunately that support has not been added yet it was never implemented in the beta and will actually be added later on in a future update in iOS 12 also with I was told you can actually use an emoji so while talking there's a new effects page where you can put filters and all these cool things during a FaceTime call and Siri shortcuts it makes series so much smarter just by adding a catchphrase to do a certain thing such as hey and when I say heya sends a text to everything Apple Pro and in general Siri has been made a much smarter Siri how much caffeine in a Red Bull more access to more data and check this out on the iPad Siri Find My iPhone how cool is that so Siri from another iOS device can actually paying this one and find if you lost in the nervous in it you can actually use student IDs in the wallet application it's officially supported and supported by several campuses at the time now you can have low-power mode enabled and at the same time have hey Siri enabled as well the functionality for it and an emojis and memo jeez so Apple has added new functionality with a custom emoji character which you can go ahead and customize to your heart's content there are so many presets here from all sorts of features and now there's even more nmo jeez there's a nice clean new interface for as well and these four down here are new and there's now wink and tongue support so don't know when you're winking and you have your tongue sticking bill directly into messages is the new camera effects page so click on the camera click on the effects button and how you can get an emojis directly in here as well as a bunch of things in here so put a filter on immediately put some text or shapes into here it's quite diverse and now all devices even without 3d touch do support the trackpad feature just hold space and then go ahead and move the cursor around much easier navigation and our topics are supported in the quick reply menus just double tap on a text and you have the same interface that you would have any messages app and a couple of optimizations in the messages app so on your contact up here click on the name to quickly have a shortcut to FaceTime or call them and also the interface down here for the photos has been made different so you have to click on the Photos app then go up here to go into recent photos it's not as easy as before so they kind of split up some of the functions now there's a built in thesaurus in iOS so you can look up all the synonyms to a certain word and new measure app can actually be kind of fun and very handy in day-to-day activities so it's a little off here for my iPhone tennis max that should be a six and a half inches but fairly close the stocks application has received a complete redesign very very beautiful and for individual stocks you can go back from five years now to all-time and in settings the battery settings now have a new section for advanced tracking so you can see so much detail here on which application and what's doing what there's even a separate category here for when you have no cell phone service it'll show you that and how much of a drain it is as well and in the cellular data settings all the applications are organized by the amount of data they take up instead of alphabetic and the new Maps application is actually quite great so much more detailed thanks to an in-house maps the solution now instead of relying on TomTom so apples rebuilding the entire Maps application and it really shows for now only California is supported hopefully the rest of the world will soon follow and by the way every single time you call 9-1-1 your exact location data will be shared with them immediately and i believe you can disable that functionality if you don't want it but it could potentially save lives and on the iphone 10 no more accidental screenshots so clicking volume up and the power button with the screen off will no longer activate a screenshot you have to turn the screen on and then ahead and take it and on the iPhone 10 you can easily do the apps now with a single swipe up instead of having to hold it and then swiping it up in the music application you can actually search for songs just by searching lyrics now and it's so nice because sometimes you remember a little excerpt and you just want to search by that and searching for there it goes gravity does bring up lose yourself cool and a super cool function Apple added to music is now when you go ahead and click here it'll ask you to go to the artist or the album belonging to that song and now in the control center there's a new toggle for scan QR code which is kind of redundant because it's already available in the camera app but works very nicely I know boy the iPad receives the craziest upgrade of them all it's now been made more like an iPhone 10 so you don't even need to use the home button whatsoever except to wake the device so you now swipe up to get into the app switcher you can easily dismiss apps just like that and the control center has now been separated from the app switcher so it's available on the top right just like on the iPhone 10 the actual status bar has been separated and this is because of the upgrade to the ipad design you can quickly swipe between apps now it is so much more intuitive and portrait mode has received some upgrades as well it's now more accurate with more edge detection as it actually uses a separate mask to detect faces and objects and password support has been improved greatly in iowa's 12e now airdrop passcodes to other devices and safari now suggests pass codes and user names for new accounts and face ID has been greatly improved in iOS 12 you can now set up an alternate appearance so if you look different at other times you can go ahead and get your iPhone familiar with that appearance also from the lockscreen if you fail to scan your face once you can now swipe up again to rescan instead of having to wait for iOS to do it an augmented reality and iowa's well has been greatly improved there's a new file formats you sdz it's gonna be used as a universal AR formats for Apple and overall detection for new surfaces in a variety of models has been improved and in the control center there's a new mode here for live listen use your ear pods to greatly enhance a sound and hear things from much further away and if you have an Apple watch in the messages application there will be new activity stickers here so a variety of them to choose from and it's Safari there's a new feature to enable favicons in the tab view so you can see the little icons for individual websites and podcasts and now portes chapters so you can actually see where an individual part starts during the podcast and in Iowa's 12 Apple enabled a new security feature where if you're connected to a computer you have to be unlocked in order to use any sort of data transfer or sync services and there are now automatic software updates available in iOS 12 and you can now set automatic updates to happen overnight in iOS 12 when carplay now allows for google maps and ways to be used I guess so there's my recap of the Iowa's 12 features that matter there are a ton of smaller ones that I wasn't able to cover there's just way too many but this is most of the bigger stuff that you'll actually notice now as for whether or not you should update I think hands down yes you should despite which device you have it improves everything from speed it gives you some storage back even it just makes your experience so much better especially on the 5s iPhone 6 and 6s I think those devices stand to benefit the most from iOS 12 the battery life is very good as well I actually got some improved battery life on my iPhone 10 that will certainly optimize that so after 12 betas this is certainly one of the most perfected iOS versions ever and I highly recommend you update alright and
