added new graphs, charts and breakdowns which exactly points to where the
battery is getting used and when. This is something every smartphone user
needs. We end up investing so much time to find out how, when and what happened
to our Phone battery. In iOS 12 just navigate to battery within settings and
these charts and graphs will give you a clear picture.
Do not disturb but temporary
We often
need to turn on and off DND for a meeting or any other schedule. We do it
manually but with iOS 12 not anymore. iOS 12 gives you DND options with which
you can set disable DND in sometime or when you leave the current location,
after movie etc.
Camera within messages
One of the
new and exciting feature is camera tool within message app for videos and
pictures. You will see a star icon at the lower left corner to get started.
This isn’t a whole new feature but the add on.
USB accessories
To keep the
security of cracking passcode via USB port, apple has added this new feature
which will keep your device one hundred percent secure even when USB is
connected. In the settings there is an option to disable USB accessories under
face I’d and passcode. Once the USB accessories will be disabled, if your
iPhone is locked for an hour then you need to unlock the phone to use USB
accessories.
Alternate Face I’d
This is one
of the main feature added and is going to help iPhone users a lot. Apple users
can now add more than one face I’d to unlock the phone. In iOS 12 when you will
go to settings>> face I’d and passcode you will see an option “set up an
alternate appearance” and from here you can add another face I’d. In case your
device fails to recognize you, just swipe up to enter passcode to unlock your
phone.
Allow automatic updates
With just
one setting you can now allow your iPhone to automatically update the software.
Whenever an update will be available, your iOS will notify you before
installing updates.

using any writing application, you can use look up feature to find a synonym
suggestion.
Apple is getting
more user friendly and secure day by day. Every new update and release comes
with something exciting and attractive. Using this iOS 12 will be much more
exciting.
