You can now pull to refresh in the redesigned Safari, alongside muting notifications in an app or a Messages thread for either an hour or a day, similar to how you can mute chats in WhatsApp. Now, you have the choice of scrolling or typing in the date and time you need to add.

When selecting a date and time for when you're setting an alarm, or an event in Calendar, you can now scroll through these times as you could in previous iOS releases.

Shortcuts on macOS Monterey (Image credit: Apple) IOS 15.6 mostly includes bug fixes, but alongside those there's also a new feature for the TV app, which allows you to restart, pause, rewind, and fast-forward live sports games that are already in progress. iOS 15.6: more control of live sports in the TV app It's a small change but a potentially useful one for some users. With iOS 15.5, Apple Cash users can now send or request money via the Wallet app. There's a new English-language voice for Siri included in iOS 15.4. The update also gets rid of the annoying unknown accessory alerts through clearer identification of devices. If you're an AirTag user, then with iOS 15.4 a warning will be added when setting one up, to let users know that tracking someone unknowingly is illegal. IOS 15.4 also added 37 new emoji, along with 75 skin tone variations, so you're more likely to be able to find emoji that feel representative of you. This is less accurate and likely less secure than when using Face ID without a mask, and you can choose not to enable this feature if you want to keep Face ID as secure as possible, but it's certainly a convenient change.

There will also then be an option for the child to contact a parent through the app - however this will be up to the child to do. With the new Communication Safety feature, the Messages app can detect if there's nudity in a message that has been sent or received, with the image then being blurred and the child being warned - and having to manually confirm that they want to see or send the image. iOS 15.1: Lossless audio and Dolby Atmos for HomePods

So in most cases it’s the best lens for the job if you’re getting in close, but there may be occasions where you’d rather use a different lens, and if you disable Auto Macro then you’ll have the choice. Currently these phones will automatically switch to the ultra-wide lens when you get close to something, as this lens powers the macro mode and can focus from just 2cm away. iOS 15.1: Auto Macro toggleĪ smaller camera feature added as part of iOS 15.1 is the option to disable the Auto Macro mode found on the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max. To enable ProRes once you have iOS 15.1, just head to the Camera section of the main Settings app, and select ProRes under the Formats option. However, ProRes files take up a lot of space, and for that reason you’re limited to recording in 1080p at 30fps if you have a phone with just 128GB of storage, but for other models ProRes tops out at 4K quality at 30fps. It’s designed to be visually lossless (though it’s technically compressed), and it’s also less intensive on your computer’s CPU than formats like H.264 and H.265 when editing.

This is exclusive to the iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max though, so less widely available.

There’s more than one big feature in iOS 15.1, with ProRes also making an appearance.
