The latest update to iOS, version 12, has finally arrived, bringing with it a plethora of new features and improvements that are sure to enhance the overall user experience. In this article, we will take a closer look at some of the key aspects of iOS 12.

Mime Emoji Arm: A New and Exciting Feature

One of the most exciting new features in iOS 12 is the addition of a mime emoji arm. This emoji can be used to add a touch of humor and personality to our digital communications. Not only does it look really nice, but it also has a tongue too, which adds an extra layer of charm. With this feature, users can now express themselves in new and creative ways.

Camera App: A Range of New Effects and Filters

The camera app in iOS 12 has been upgraded with a range of new effects and filters that are sure to delight users. One of the new features is the ability to select a specific emoji from the camera viewfinder, which can be used as part of a photo or video. This feature allows for more creative control over our digital images and adds an extra layer of fun.

AR Effects: A New Dimension of Creativity

In addition to the new effects and filters, iOS 12 also introduces AR effects that allow users to create their own augmented reality experiences. With this feature, users can add digital objects or characters to the real world, creating a unique and immersive experience. For example, we can place an emoji on our shoulder and watch as it animates in real-time.

Smart Photos: An AI-Powered Photo App

The photos app in iOS 12 has been given a significant overhaul, with a focus on making it smarter and more intuitive. One of the key features is the ability to search for photos using multiple keywords or phrases. This allows users to quickly find specific images based on their interests or memories.

Selfies: Group Chat Photos Made Easy

iOS 12 also introduces a new feature that makes taking group selfies easier than ever. With this feature, users can take a photo of themselves and up to 32 other people in the same group chat, without having to press down on an app in the app switcher to close it.

Measure Tool: A New Level of Accuracy

One of the most useful new features in iOS 12 is the measure tool. This feature allows users to measure objects or spaces with precision and accuracy, making it ideal for DIY projects, home decor, and more. The measure tool can even detect whether an object is level or not.

Level: A New Tool for Home Decor

The level feature in iOS 12 is a game-changer for anyone who needs to hang a picture frame or place furniture in the perfect spot. This feature uses advanced technology to detect whether a surface is level or not, making it easy to achieve perfect alignment every time.

Bubble Level: A Voice Command Feature

In addition to the level feature, iOS 12 also introduces a new bubble level voice command feature. This feature allows users to quickly check if an object is level without having to physically use the measure tool.

iBooks: A Redesigned Reading Experience

The iBooks app in iOS 12 has been given a significant redesign, with a focus on making it more user-friendly and intuitive. The new design makes it easy to navigate through books, and the introduction of a reading indicator provides real-time feedback on your progress.

Apple Books: A New Name for the iBooks App

As part of the redesign, Apple has decided to rename the iBooks app to "Apple Books". This name change reflects the app's evolution into a more comprehensive e-book platform that offers access to millions of titles from major publishers and independent authors alike.

Stocks: A Real-Time Finance App

The stocks feature in iOS 12 allows users to track their investments with ease. With this feature, users can get real-time updates on market trends and news, making it easier to make informed investment decisions.

Siri Shortcuts: A New Way to Control Siri

One of the most exciting features in iOS 12 is the introduction of Siri Shortcuts. This feature allows users to create custom voice commands that can be used with Siri, providing a new level of control over their digital lives.

Conclusion
