Apple News+ and Apple TV Updates
The brand new Apple news plus is live today, and with it comes a fresh new icon that can be found right here in the center of the screen. You can start your free trial and enjoy over 300 magazines and newspapers on subscription services, available exclusively in the US and Canada. This marks one of the exciting updates to come with iOS 12.2.
Siri has also become smarter with the latest update. Users can now use custom Siri commands to ask Siri to play movies, TV shows, sports, or games directly on their Apple TV. This is a significant improvement that will make it easier for users to access their favorite content with just one command.
One of the notable updates in iOS 12.2 is the increased storage capacity. The new update boasts 100GB of storage, which should provide ample space for users to store their music, photos, and other files. This is a significant improvement over the previous version and will likely be welcomed by users who have been running out of space on their devices.
New Emojis in iOS 12.2
iOS 12.2 also introduces four new emojis that can be used by users. These include the giraffe, shark, and hog, which are sure to bring a smile to the faces of those who see them. The addition of these emojis is just one of the many small but welcome changes that have been made in the latest update.
AirPlay Improvements
AirPlay has also received an update with iOS 12.2. One of the notable improvements is the ability to browse through other videos and audio files while streaming without any interruptions. This makes it easier for users to multitask while still enjoying their favorite content.
In addition, AirPlay destinations are now grouped into categories, making it easier for users to find what they're looking for. This change should make it easier for users to discover new music, movies, and TV shows.
Apple Pay Updates
Apple Pay has also received an update with iOS 12.2. One of the notable changes is the ability for Apple Pay Cash customers to transfer money directly into their bank account instantly using a Visa or debit card. This makes it even easier for users to send and receive money without having to visit a physical ATM.
The Wallet application has also been updated, displaying all transactions made with Apple Pay in one convenient place. Users can now see all of their purchases, including those made with the debit card, making it easy to track their spending.
Screen Time Improvements
Screen Time has received an update in iOS 12.2 that allows users to configure different schedule times for each day. This makes it easier for parents to set limits on their child's screen time or for individuals to set specific times when they want to be unavailable.
Prior to this update, Screen Time was configured using a single schedule for the entire week. The new update provides more flexibility and control, allowing users to tailor their screen time settings to suit their individual needs.
