New function
App clips
The new App Clips feature will allow small apps up to 10 MB in size to be started directly , for example via NFC or QR codes designed by Apple . This new feature is very similar to the Android instant app feature . These QR codes will also be able to be shared via iMessage in the future .
CarPlay
Apple CarPlay has been revised. Background images can now be used and it supports new app categories for electric vehicles. The map app can search for charging stations.
CarKey
With CarKey it is possible to unlock a car via NFC, put the iPhone in the charging station and start it directly. The car key can be shared with friends through the Messages app. BMW will be the first car brand to support this feature.
Picture in picture
Picture-in-picture playback is also available as a new function, with which you can watch a running video while opening another app.
Translator and offline speech recognition
Apple has also introduced a new translation app (similar to Google Translate ) that can be used to translate completely offline. Speech recognition also takes place offline on the device, which protects privacy. The prerequisite for this is the previous download of the corresponding language package.
news
Under iMessage, profile pictures can now also be set in group conversations, and you can also reply directly to messages. The answers can also be viewed as a thread . More styles for Animoji and Memoji have been added.
cards
In the USA, it will now be possible to navigate by bike in the Maps app. It is not yet clear whether and to what extent this function will be transferred to other countries.
Homescreen
Widgets
New can also widgets on the home screen pinning, which vary in size. With the Smart Stack it will be possible to display different widgets, depending on what is currently needed. The widgets can be switched manually or intelligently.
App library
The newly added so-called app media library sorts all apps clearly into different categories on the last page of the home screen . The apps can also be sorted alphabetically there . Thanks to the app library, all apps no longer have to be available on the home screen, which is why individual pages of the home screen can be hidden.
