01 UPDATES TO PHONE
Phone, the default iPhone calling app, now supports Personalised Contact Posters. In a nutshell, you can customise specific callers and contacts with features similar to how you’d personalise your Lock Screen. Personalise Contact Posters lets you specify the font, colours, and images used for each contact, and it also supports vertical text for languages that use them (such as Japanese and both Simplified and Traditional Chinese). App developers can use CallKit API also to support Personalised Contact Posters in their calling apps.
02 VOICEMAIL AND FACETIME
Voicemail now gets real-time transcription just as voicemail messages start coming in, allowing users to determine if the message content is important enough to drop what they’re doing and join the call. Real-time voicemail transcription is handled on-device, so the message content isn’t sent anywhere beyond your iPhone for processing. FaceTime now gets Record FaceTime Messages for users who want to make a video note, if the other party isn’t available to take a call.
03 MESSAGES
Messages (the default short message app on iPhone) now come with search filters, letting users narrow down their search results among their many text messages. For groupchats, users can use the new Catch-Up arrow, which jumps to the first unread message in the groupchat.
The app is also now slightly more intuitive, supporting Swipe To Reply, where you can swish a finger to reply to a specific message.
