This iOS 15.5 review will explore some of the major new features of the latest version.

We’ll discuss SharePlay, FaceTime, Photos, and Memories.

This update is also compatible with iOS 11 and earlier. But what are the drawbacks of this version?

Here’s a look at the pros and cons of iOS 15.5 for the iPhone.

And remember, always use the latest version of iOS when upgrading your device.

SharePlay

In this SharePlay iOS 15.5 review, we’ll take a look at how this new app can benefit your iPhone and iPad.

The app makes it easy to share content and allows for FaceTime calls with friends and family.

The process is easy and simple, and you can even stream content to your iPhone or iPad from the comfort of your couch.

Here are some highlights from our SharePlay iOS 15.5 review:

With SharePlay, you can easily share the screen with others while chatting, watching movies, or listening to music.

You can even synchronize music with friends via FaceTime.

The app is also compatible with Apple Music and Apple TV.

It can also stream movies to your TV through AirPlay. In this SharePlay iOS 15.5 review, we’ve covered some of the best features and drawbacks of the app.

We’ll also cover some of its other new features, so read on to find out whether this app is worth your time.

Shared With You is another feature that’s worth mentioning. It lets you share photos, videos, and articles with others.

It even integrates with photos from your family and friends.

Photos even sort photos that feature you in them. It also allows you to hide your IP address from senders.

Overall, SharePlay iOS 15.5 review makes it a must-have app for iPhone users.

And if you’re tired of wasting time downloading apps, this is the app for you.

Memories (iOS 15.5 Review)

If you’ve ever wished you could delete certain people from your Memories, Apple has listened to your cry and added the ability to do so.

Whether it’s a loved one, a colleague, or a place you visit often, you can choose which photos remain on your device.

The People album is located in the Photos app in the bottom navigation bar.

It holds photos of objects and places, and you can choose to exclude them by tapping the ‘Feature This Person Less’ or ‘Never Feature This Place’ option.

Sadly, this means that you won’t be able to save photos taken in sensitive locations, such as the Holocaust Memorial and Sites.

However, this isn’t a permanent fix. Apple’s algorithms could potentially use these photos in inappropriate ways.

In the meantime, it’s still worth keeping a backup for your precious memories.

Hopefully, the new iOS 15.5 beta update will be released soon.

Besides adding music to your photo albums, you can also add any track from Apple Music.

Apple’s Memories feature makes it easy to find the perfect music based on your past listening habits and highlighted pictures.

Similarly, you can change the visual effects of each photo by tapping the three-dot icon in the top-right corner.

You can also change the cover photo and title, and tweak the media using the tools on your device.

FaceTime

If you’ve been wondering how to use FaceTime in iOS 15.5 (or any other version of iOS), there are a few things you can try.

First, you’ll need to enable cellular data on your device.

To do this, head to the settings menu and select Cellular Data.

Then, in the list of apps, find FaceTime and toggle it on. When the screen turns green, you’re all set to use FaceTime.

For those who prefer to use their phones to make calls, the new iOS 15 features include Voice Isolation and Wide Spectrum.

Voice Isolation filters background noise while Wide Spectrum picks up ambient sounds.

These features are not native to FaceTime, but they can be adopted by other third-party apps.

FaceTime also introduces a background blur when you’re in the camera mode.

In addition, you’ll be able to schedule calls.

Another important update for FaceTime is its support for spatial audio.

Spatial audio will allow you to talk to more than one person at the same time, and you can make them sound like they’re on the same screen.

However, you should note that this feature requires a bionic-based iPhone to support it.

FaceTime has many other features to improve the user experience, so these improvements are welcome.

If you’re having trouble using FaceTime in iOS 15.5, try using the new Grid View feature.

By using this feature, you can share your iPhone screen on the call, which can be handy for troubleshooting.

In addition, FaceTime also includes new Spatial Audio and a new Grid View that mimics popular apps such as Zoom.

Photos

Apple’s next major iOS update will add a new feature called ‘Sensitive Locations’.

The beta update shows that this feature will prevent you from being reminded of less-than-jolly places.

9to5Mac spotted this feature while testing the beta version of iOS 15.5.

Unlike the old feature, this one will scan incoming iMessage images for nudity.

This feature will then warn your children about potentially harmful photos.

If any nudity is found in a photo received from a child, the photo will be blurred and a warning will appear.

This way, your children can’t be accidentally exposed to the content.

But they still might receive photos with potentially inappropriate content.

Fortunately, this new feature isn’t as intrusive as you might think.

The new “Info” icon in the Photos app is another useful feature.

The image picker will allow you to choose photos in a specific order when sharing them.

This way, your pictures will be shared in the order that they were intended to be.

This feature is also handy for identifying objects in photos.

Similarly, Live Text will help you copy text from images.

And of course, iCloud Photos will sync faster, which is good news for users of iOS 15.

Messages

Apple released an update to Messages earlier today.

With it, kids will no longer be able to read explicit messages.

This update also adds child safety features.

Parents can enable the Communications Safety feature in their child’s account to prevent children from viewing inappropriate messages.

The new feature also detects nudity and blurs images before they are viewed, which protects both children and parents.

Apple has confirmed that this update will be available to users in more countries, including the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

Shared with You is another new feature that makes Messages even easier to access.

Although it’s not specific to Messages, this feature works with other apps, including Photos and Safari.

The Photos app also features a Shared with You section, which you’ll find in the “For You” section.

There, you can view the photo you’ve shared and see who sent it. You can then tap or long-hold the image to save it.

You can now pin important contacts and group texts to the Home screen.

This feature makes it easier to text a person who has a hard time hearing.

This feature also allows you to pin group text conversations, which will remind you of group plans.

If you have to send urgent messages, the message will break through the Focus mode.

A new feature is also coming in the iOS 15.5 beta.

While the app still works in the beta stage, there are some important improvements that have been made since iOS 10.

Announce Notifications (iOS 15.5 Review)

In IOS 15.5 Announce Notifications, you can customize Siri to announce all of the notifications that come through a specific app.

To use this feature, simply toggle the switch on the app’s notification settings, and Siri will listen to your response.

Once Siri has read the notification, it will let you know if you want to reply. If you don’t want to reply, you can opt-out of the feature entirely.

You can turn on Announce Notifications for every app, or turn it on for all.

You can choose whether you want to hear notifications when your phone is locked.

Announce Messages and Announce Calls are accessible from the Notifications app section.

If you want to enable this feature for all apps, you can go to Settings > Messages> Notifications.

You can turn on Announce Calls by selecting the appropriate option under Phone.

To enable IOS 15.5 Announce Notifications, go to the Notifications menu in Settings.

Tap the Notifications tab. Go to the Siri section. Scroll down until you see Announce Notifications. It should have gray text that reads “off.”

Maps

The maps on your IOS 15.5 device might not be working properly.

In such a case, it’s important to try reinstalling the app.

The reinstallation button is a cloud with an arrow. However, sometimes Apple’s servers may be down.

To check if Maps is working properly, visit Apple’s System Status webpage.

Once there, you should see green dots. If the green dots are not present, then the app isn’t working properly.

If you’ve been using Maps in the past, you’ll be happy to see that Apple has made it easier than ever to find restaurants nearby.

You can even search for a particular cuisine or specify the kind of takeout you’d like.

Can also move around on the map after executing a search, and the results will update accordingly.

You can also create a Maps user account, which aggregates your Favorites, Guides, and Ratings, and will give you quick access to reporting issues.

Apple Maps in iOS 15 has been updated with a new look and feel.

They’ve added more road data, such as bicycle lanes and crosswalks.

And they’ve also improved the accuracy of directions.

Apple Maps on the iPhone will also show more road conditions, which will make it easier to follow your destiny.

If you’re traveling by car, you’ll also enjoy the new look of the Maps.
