After it was announced last June, Apple is officially rolling out iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 to supported iPhones and iPads respectively. To recap, key features of iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 include SharePlay for sharing your screen or whatever you are watching or listening to your family and friends via FaceTime, new FaceTime features like Spatial Audio, Portrait Mode, and Voice Isolation, and the ability to invite anyone to FaceTime regardless of device.
Both iOS 15 and iPadOS 15 get an updated Messages App with a new Shared by You Section and a new set of Memojis, along with Focus for helping you stay in the moment when you need to concentrate or step away. Notifications and Maps get a revamp, with the former now featuring a summary of all your notifications and the latter adding new driving and transit features.
iPadOS 15 finally brings App Library to iPads, letting iPad users have a more organized way of sorting out their apps. Multitasking is improved on iPadOS 15, featuring a more streamlined interface for working with multiple apps.
