Users can record their daily mood and transient emotions; see what factors are affecting their mental state; and easily access depression and anxiety assessment tools commonly used in clinics, as well as other locally available resources. Additionally, increasing the distance between the device and the eyes can help reduce the risk of myopia in children and help relieve symptoms of digital eye strain in adult users. Screen Time’s Screen Distance feature uses the TrueDepth camera to encourage users to move their device further away after a period of time when the device is within 12 inches (30.48 cm) of the user’s face.
The Map App has added offline maps. Users can download maps of specific areas and use turn-by-turn navigation offline, check estimated arrival times, explore locations in the Map App, etc. The Maps app also helps users more easily explore thousands of hiking trails in parks across the United States and provides electric vehicle drivers with real-time charging information.
AirTags can be shared with up to 5 other people to help friends and family find items in the Find My app. All members of the group can view the location of items, play sounds, and use pinpoint search to pinpoint the exact location of nearby shared AirTags. This feature also supports all other “Find” network accessories.
The music app launches collaborative playlists to make it easier for users to listen to music with friends; the in-car simulcast sharing experience allows all passengers to easily control the playback content. Users can control music from their own devices, even if they don’t subscribe to the Apple Music service.
On-device intelligence can now learn user preferences, making the experience of sharing content using AirPlay even easier. AirPlay also supports compatible TVs in hotels, allowing users to turn on the TV while traveling and easily enjoy their favorite content. The privacy and security-based feature will be rolled out to select hotels by the end of the year, starting with IHG’s branded hotels and resorts.

The functionality also extends from static images to video content. A new “Sensitive Content Warning” feature helps adult users avoid accidentally seeing nude images and videos. As with communications security, all image and video processing for sensitive content warnings occurs on the device, and Apple cannot access the content.
Accessibility updates include Assistive Access, a customizable interface that makes it easier for people with cognitive disabilities to use iPhone independently; and Live Speech, a feature that helps people who can’t speak communicate in person, on the phone, or on a FaceTime call.
