iOS 12 is Here, More power to you


iOS 12 is designed to make your iPhone and iPad experience even faster, more responsive, and more delightful. Here are some exciting new features and improvements coming to the world’s most advanced mobile operating system.

Performance 

Whether you’re using your iPhone or iPad, iOS has been enhanced for a faster and more responsive experience all around. Things you do all the time, like launching Camera and typing with the keyboard, happen faster than ever. And there are even more significant improvements when you’re doing a lot on your device at once. These enhancements improve performance on all supported devices, going all the way back to iPhone 5s and iPad Air. 
up to 2%  faster app launch under heavy work load
up to 50% faster keyboard display
up to 70% faster swipe to camera

Privacy and Security


Enhanced tracking prevention
Improvements prevent Share buttons and comment widgets on web pages from tracking you without your permission in Safari. Safari also prevents advertisers from collecting your device’s unique settings, so they can’t retarget ads to you across the web.

Automatic strong passwords
Automatically create, autofill, and store strong passwords in Safari and iOS apps. Passwords are stored in iCloud Keychain and are available on all your Apple devices. And if you ever need to access your passwords, just ask Siri.

Password reuse auditing
Passwords that have been reused will be flagged in the passwords list, so you can quickly navigate to the app or website and replace it with an automatically generated strong password.

Security code AutoFill
SMS one-time passcodes will appear automatically as AutoFill suggestions, so you never have to worry about quickly memorizing them or typing them again.

Password sharing
Easily share and receive passwords from nearby iOS devices, from an iOS device to a Mac, and from an iOS device to Apple TV.

Password Manager API
Access passwords stored in third-party password managers directly from the QuickType bar in apps and in Safari (requires third-party adoption).

App Updates

  •  Photos

A Smarter way to search your photos

smart suggestions are a new way to help you find the exact photo you’re looking for, or rediscover a great one you forgot about. Even before you start typing, you’ll see suggestions for recent events, people, and places. And as you type, the results are smarter and more powerful, and you can refine them by adding multiple keywords. 


  • FaceTime 

You can FaceTime with up to 32 people at once.




FaceTime now supports video and audio with up to 32 people at once. The tile of the person speaking will get larger automatically, so you’ll never lose track of the conversation. You can start Group FaceTime right from a group thread in Messages or join an active one at any time.

  • Apple Books

The Apple Books app has been completely redesigned to make it easier for you to discover, read, and listen to your favorite books. Access your current book or start a new one in the Reading Now tab, visit the new bookstore to browse and buy, and organize your library with more flexible collections.

Grouped notifications.

 
Just as Screen Time gives you more insight into how you use your devices, notification management in iOS 12 gives you new ways to reduce interruptions throughout your day. You can now manage your notifications in real time from the Lock screen, sending notifications from a specific app to Notification Center or turning them off altogether. Siri also makes intelligent suggestions about your alerts based on how you interact with them. And message threads and notification topics are grouped together, so it’s easier to see what’s important at a glance. 

New Do Not Disturb options 

Turn on Do Not Disturb and forget about it.

iOS 12 gives you more ways to manage your notifications than ever, but there are times when you don’t want to be disrupted by any alerts, messages, or calls at all. So now you can set Do Not Disturb just for a meeting or while you’re at a location, and it will automatically turn off as soon as your event ends or you leave that place. 




Screen time management

 

Apps help us do so many extraordinary things that we can sometimes lose track of how much we use them. Screen Time is a new feature that helps give you a better understanding of the time you and your kids spend using apps, visiting websites, and on your devices overall. So you can make the most of how you choose to spend time on your iPhone or iPad.

SIRI 

Siri suggestions
A quicker way to do the things you do most often. As Siri learns your routines, you’ll get suggested shortcuts for just what you need, at just the right time, on the Lock screen or in search.

Add to Siri
Add shortcuts to Siri to run them with your voice on your iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or HomePod.

New Shortcuts app

Create or customize your own shortcuts to run multiple steps at once. Get started with examples from the gallery and personalize with steps from across your apps.

Shortcuts API
App developers can work with Siri to run shortcuts via a new SiriKit API.

Motorsports
Get live standings, schedules, rosters, and stats.

Translation
Translate phrases into many more languages, with support for over 40 language pairs.

Celebrity facts
Check facts about celebrities, such as “What is Gillian Flynn’s latest novel?” or “Where was Amy Adams born?”

Food knowledge
Ask Siri questions about food and get answers from the USDA database, including calories, vitamins, and how healthy a food is overall. For example, ask “How much caffeine in coffee?” or “How healthy is fish?”

Photos Memories search
Use Siri to quickly pull up photos and memories based on people, places, events, time, and keywords of objects and scenes in the photos.

Passwords
Siri can help you search for any password.
