Greater Customization
for your Lock Screen
One of the most viewed aspects of any
Phone is probably their Lock Screen, keeping this exact fact in mind, Apple has
introduced features that would allow Users to customize their iPhone Lock
Screens to a great extent. Being the most substantial update to their Lock
Screen, Apple has given Users the abilities to easily change and try out
multiple styles for their Lock Screen on the go, simply by holding the Lock
Screen and swiping between different styles. Each Style currently available
will be tailored to complement each specific font, color filter and background
photo that a User has set on their Lock Screen. Moreover, Apple has finally added the ability for the Users to change the Font Styles of their Time
and Date of their Lock Screen as well. This follows along with the
introduction of various Lock Screen Widgets such as Temperature and Calendar
Widgets that are also designed to compliment the Users’ Apple Watch Widgets.
With these plethora of customization options, Apple has allowed Users to
customize multiple Lock Screen with the aforementioned features, which they can
easily swipe between one another as per the desire of the User. In addition to
this, the Company has also included a ‘Photo-shuffle’ option, that will allow the Lock Screen to automatically change pictures every time a User would turn
on their screen. Finally, Apple has also implemented a ‘Live Activities’ feature
on their Lock Screen that is specifically designed to keep Users ingrained in
things that occur in real time such a Sports game or a Food Delivery Order, the
notifications of which will now appear on the Lock Screen, clearly apparent for
the User to view.
Innovating Messages
Taking a page out of WhatsApp’s book,
Apple has apparently revamped their Messages System by introducing three new
and long-requested features to their Messages App. The First Feature will allow
Users to properly edit sent messages. This feature is designed to completely
abolish the embarrassment derived from unintentional typos, as this new update
will allow messages to be editing after the fact, allowing Users to fix their
typos or even write a better articulated version of their message. The second
feature will enable Users to recall or “unsend” a sent message. Meaning that if
the wrong message or an unintentional message was accidently sent by a User to
the wrong person, the User will now have the ability to use the Undo Send tool
in order to prevent that message from being read. The last feature is an add-on
of the Undo Send feature, as it will allow Users to mark Messages and whole
Threads as Unread, providing the Users the opportunity to read the message
without responding to it, whilst keeping the Sender of the Message unaware of
whether their Message was read by the User or not.
Safety Check
A new Privacy tool from Apple, this is directly targeted towards Users who appear to be at the risk of suffering from Domestic Violence from their Significant Other. Safety Check will allow such Users to quickly remove their Partner’s access to their iCloud and Apple Products as it includes an emergency reset option that would help Users to reset their Privacy Permissions as well as limit Messages to a singular device which only they have access to. Furthermore, Safety Check will also allow users to better gauge the Apps and the People to whom they have given greater accessibility of their Personal Information.
