  • Home screen: App icons and widgets can now be placed freely rather than in the left-to-right and top-to-bottom, and can use specific dark mode icons and other custom tints.
  • Control Center: You can now use multiple pages of controls, which are all accessible by swiping and holding from the top right corner. A Controls Gallery now lets you customize the interface freely with Apple-made and third-party options.
  • Lock screen: Your two on-screen shortcuts can be changed from the default flashlight and camera combo. Same goes for the Action button on iPhone 15 Pro.
  • Privacy: “Lock an app” lets you lock an app behind Face ID, Touch ID or a password, and hide information from on-device search. “Hide an app” meanwhile lets you conceal apps in a locked folder in the App Library. Your Contacts can now be kept from apps rather than giving blanket permission, and connecting Bluetooth devices can now use a new security-forward interface.
  • Messages: Tapbacks (message reactions) can now work with any emoji or sticker, while Send Later lets you schedule messages and improved formatting lets you italicize, underline, bold or strike-through messages. Text effects have also arrived to make your messages more lively, with automated or manual options available. Apple’s also allowing iPhone 14 and later models with satellite connectivity to send messages via satellite too, be it iMessage or SMS texts.
  • Mail: On-device categorization (a feature coming later in the year) helps you filter emails automatically, such as keeping newsletters or sales receipts away from personal messages. A new summary view shows you all messages from a specific contact to get a high-level view of what you need to know.
  • Maps: Topographic maps with walking routes have been added (with offline access available).
  • Wallet: Tap to Cash lets you send money by bringing your iPhone next to someone else’s. Apple Pay now works with loyalty points etc., and digital tickets now have a refreshed look.
  • Journal: A new Insights view to show stats, search to help you find old entries
  • Game mode: This is designed to minimize background activity to keep performance high and latency with controllers and wireless headphones.
  • Photos: A fresh look for this crucial app keeps your grid and library on the same screen, with filter and time scale options offered to help navigate. The Collections view shows specific sets of photos with screenshots and other uninteresting images filtered out to make an attractive collage. A carousel of favorites and featured photos takes pride of place at the top of the app to surface your best shots.
