**iOS 15.4 Update: A New Era of Security and Convenience**

The latest update to iOS, version 15.4, has brought a plethora of exciting features that will enhance the user experience on Apple devices. Among these updates is the addition of custom email domains, making it easier for users to manage their email addresses. This new feature allows users to create unique email addresses that are specific to their needs, providing a more personalized and secure way to communicate.

In addition to this feature, iOS 15.4 also includes a minor update to some of the glyphs and icons on the lock screen. Specifically, a new Face ID icon has been added, along with a new animation that will appear when using Apple Card or Apple Pay. When you double press the side button to make a payment, if you are not within frame, the device will now display this new animation, indicating that Face ID has detected your presence.

Furthermore, iOS 15.4 introduces a new anti-theft feature for AirTags, which have been a subject of controversy among consumers due to their potential misuse. Apple has taken steps to address these concerns by associating each AirTag with the user's Apple ID and phone number. This means that if an AirTag is found being used to track another person, Apple will provide law enforcement with information necessary to detect and identify the individual attempting to use the device.

Another notable update is the addition of a fifth Siri voice option for users in the US. When going to Settings > Siri, users can now choose from five different voices, including the new "Hi, I'm Siri" option. This feature provides more flexibility and personalization for Siri interactions.

Under Control Center, iOS 15.4 has updated the AirPlay device icons to display specific glyphs, making it easier to identify compatible devices. Additionally, a new option has been added to allow users to add notes to their passwords, providing an extra layer of security and organization.

The update also includes a notification feature for Wallet, which is designed to work with future software updates that will introduce a new style for notifications. Furthermore, the iPhone 13 modem firmware has been updated, aiming to improve network performance and overall user experience.

**Universal Control: A Game-Changer for iPad and Mac Users**

One of the most significant features in iOS 15.4 is Universal Control, which was previously available only in the developer release (rc) version. This feature allows users with an iPad and a compatible Mac to control their device using a single app or keyboard. The update provides seamless integration between these devices, enabling users to switch between apps, control music playback, and access other features with ease.

Under Settings > Sounds, iPad users can now customize the volume controls to be fixed in place, eliminating the need to adjust them based on the orientation of the device. This feature is particularly useful for those who prefer a more consistent audio experience.

Another notable update is the addition of a new keyboard brightness option, which allows users to personalize their typing experience. Furthermore, under Control Center, a new icon has been added for quick notes, providing an easy way to jot down reminders or ideas on the fly.

**Conclusion**

In conclusion, iOS 15.4 is a major update that brings numerous exciting features and improvements to Apple devices. From custom email domains to Universal Control, each feature has been designed to enhance the user experience and provide more convenience and security for users. Whether you're an iPhone or iPad user, there's something in this update that's sure to delight. So why not upgrade to iOS 15.4 today and discover the new possibilities at your fingertips?
