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
coming this fall
Performance
Speed up the things you do every day.

Speed up the things you do every day.
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.

FaceTime
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.
Memoji
A new type of customizable Animoji is coming to iPhone X. Now you can easily
create a Memoji to match your personality and mood. You can make as many
alter egos as you want to use in Messages and FaceTime.
Choose from four new Animoji - koala, tiger, ghost, or T. rex - to inject
some fun into your next Messages thread or FaceTime call on iPhone X. Go
ahead and wink or even stick out your tongue, because Animoji are also more
expressive than ever.
Camera Effects
Now there's a new way to add personality to Messages and FaceTime right from
the in-app camera. Quickly create and share a photo or video with Animoji,
Memoji, cool filters, animated text effects, fun stickers, and more.
Augmented Reality
ARKit 2 makes it possible for developers to create more immersive augmented
reality experiences - even ones that multiple people can experience
simultaneously. AR objects can now be sent with Messages and Mail, then
viewed in the real world. And a new AR app in iOS called Measure helps you
measure real-world objects just by pointing your camera at them.

Screen Time
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.
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.
Do Not Disturb
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.
Photo Sharing
The new For You tab shows you great moments from your photo library and
intelligently suggests sharing photos with the people in them. And if the
recipients are using iOS 12, they'll be prompted to share their photos from
the event with you, too.
Photo Search
Search 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.
Siri Shortcuts
Siri can now intelligently pair your daily routines with third-party apps to
suggest convenient shortcuts right when you need them. So if you typically
pick up a coffee on the way to work, Siri will learn your routine and
suggest when to place your order from the Lock screen. You can also run
shortcuts with your voice or create your own with the new Shortcuts app.
Privacy
Apple believes privacy is a fundamental human right, which is why iOS has
always been designed with built-in encryption, on-device intelligence, and
other tools that let you share what you want on your terms. And with iOS 12,
we're taking privacy even further. Safari now prevents Share buttons and
comment widgets on web pages from tracking you without your permission.
Safari also prevents advertisers from collecting your device's unique
characteristics, so they can't identify your device or retarget ads to you
across the web.
And so much more.
The new Apple Books. Apple Books has an all-new design that makes it easier
for you to discover, read, and listen to your favorite books and audiobooks.
The redesigned Stocks app. The new Stocks app helps you keep track of the
market with live stock quotes, charts, and the best financial reporting from
Apple News. And for the first time ever, it's available on iPad as well as
iPhone.
Voice Memos comes to iPad. The most popular iPhone audio recording app comes
to iPad with iCloud, so you can access your voice memos from anywhere.
The best journalism all in one place. Redesigned navigation in Apple News
makes it simple to jump straight to your favorite channels and topics or
discover new ones.
Automatic strong passwords. Unique, complex passwords for all of your apps
and websites are automatically created and saved in Safari and in apps - so
you can use more secure passwords without having to remember a thing.
Security code AutoFill. SMS one-time passcodes will appear automatically as
AutoFill suggestions, so you never have to worry about memorizing them or
typing them again.
Third-party navigation apps in CarPlay. CarPlay now supports third-party
navigation apps, giving drivers even more choices for a familiar experience
on the dash while they drive.
Siri does even more. Get race stats for motorsports, find answers to food
and celebrity questions, quickly look up a password, or search for your
favorite memories.
Contactless student ID cards. With contactless student ID cards in Wallet,
you can use your iPhone all over campus to access places like your dorm, the
library, and events; or pay for laundry, snacks, and dinners.
More battery information. The battery usage chart in Settings now shows your
usage for the last 24 hours or 10 days. Tap a bar to see your app use for
that period of time.
