This week, Apple announced the iOS 15 software update for iPhones, at its annual WWDC conference.

During FaceTime calls, iPhone users will also have the option to listen to songs or watch shows or movies together. iPhone users will also be able to create a link for FaceTime calls that can be shared with anyone including Android and Windows devices users.
Find focus

Users will have the option to create a custom Focus or select a suggested Focus to select which apps and people can notify them. Apple’s suggested Focus will be based on the habits and routine of the user such as their work hours or when they wind down for the day.
New notifications design
Apple has redesigned notifications by adding contact photos for people and larger icons for apps. These notifications will be presented on the basis of priority, with the most relevant notifications at the top and based on user’s interactions.
Live text, advanced spotlight search & more iPhone users will be able to recognise text in a photo using Live Text. The camera app will also allow iPhone users to recognise and copy text.

Photos will also come with a new Memories interface, and integration with Apple Music.
