How to use the coolest new features in iOS 12?
Want to create Memoji, use the Measure app, or learn how grouped notifications work? We have the details here!
Finally, iOS 12 is here and brings a lot of new features with it. Most (if not all) of these features are not particularly distressing, in part because Apple has spent much of its development process to clean up the relatively buggy confusion of iOS 11 and make its sequel something worthy of Apple's name , In fact, there are already many who are competing in any way for operating systems.
But that does not mean that they are not funny or useful, nor does it mean that they are not welcome. We at Macworld have spent the last few months tinkering with all of these new opportunities in the beta version of iOS 12, and during this time, some have become our favorites.
Once you get used to it, iOS 11 feels old and inefficient by comparison. To celebrate the release of iOS 12, we've summarized the tutorials in a handy article so you know from day one how to make the most of it.
How do I use the screen time to restrict app usage?
The concerns over smartphone addiction have intensified in recent years, and Apple is doing its part to speed up the introduction of Screen Time.
It's a handy feature that will give you a daily or weekly report on how you or your children are using your iPhone, and it gives you a lot of freedom to restrict your iPhone's use at specific times, apps in certain categories for an hour or two restrict or even prevent access to R-rated content in the iTunes Store.
Luckily, it's also pretty intuitive.
Creating and customizing Memoji
Animoji has been a great success with the iPhone X, but iOS 12 sees Apple moving beyond animals to playfully create. animated versions of our real faces for playful lyrics and photos.
Like Animoji, Memoji uses Apple's TrueDepth scanning technology created for Face ID to capture your smile, laugh, and frown.
How to use and customize grouped notifications?
Grouped notifications are one of the best features of iOS 12, period. In essence, all notifications from a single source (such as messages) are grouped together in a single batch so that the notification screen does not overload with a series of one-time alerts.
To see more notifications, just click on the stack. The scrolling is massively reduced.
How to use Apples Augmented-Reality Measure App?
Do you hate that you always have to look for a ruler or tape measure when you need to measure something? If you're not worried about ultra-precise details, you'll love how the new "Measure" app uses your camera and Apple's ARKit technology to measure the size of nearby objects with impressive accuracy.
We would not use it to tell your carpenter how long a piece of wooden replacement plank has to be, but it's far more accurate than being an eyeball.
How do I use the integrated thesaurus?
This feature will probably not be very useful for everyone, but I'm a writer and I find it extraordinary.
This feature ensures that you no longer need to switch to a separate webpage or app to use a thesaurus in iOS 12 when looking for a better word.
Instead, you can easily select the offensive or boring word in almost any app and look for a better one with Look Up.
How do I use the bedtime mode in Do Not Disturb?
Sometimes, whether you're in bed or at work, you just want to be left alone. And now, with iOS 12, Apple gets it.
Sleep Mode hides your screen and keeps notifications between hours on your home screen, so you'll (hopefully) be pampered by the barrage of notifications you're likely to receive while awake.
How do I use the updated voice note app?
With iOS 12, the Voice Memos app adds several new features without sacrificing intuitive usability.
Fortunately, you can still easily record a memo, but now you can also replace sounds, put new sounds in the middle of a file, and easily crop files.
Even better, you can also add important voice memos to GarageBand.
How to use Live Lists with your AirPods?
AirPods are already sophisticated, but with iOS 12 you can use their microphones to turn Apple's popular Bluetooth wireless earphones into makeshift hearing aids. With live lists, in other words, you increase your hearing, rather than the music you pump through the speakers.
How are animated Activity App stickers used in messages?
No other app defines the Apple Watch much like the Activity App. That's what Apple refers to in the "Close Your Rings" commercials you've seen recently. With iOS 12, you can add animated stickers associated with the Activity app to your friends to encourage or entertain them.
How to activate favicons in Safari?
Favicons are the small icons that appear next to a website's name on a tab in a web browser, such as Google Chrome. This makes it very easy to identify which page it is when you have a large number of tabs open.
After what feels like forever, Apple finally brought the feature to iOS 12 (and macOS Mojave). The only catch is that you need to turn it on so we're here to tell you how to do it.
