Some Improvements In Group Facetime

As you know that the whole world is in quarantine right now and most people are working from home through video conferencing. That’s why Apple has also upgraded Group Facetime. Before this update, Group Facetime used to bring an enlarged view where the user who is leading the conversation automatically had a larger tile than other users. But this update provides an advanced toggle to disable the feature.

This feature will automatically increase the tile of the user who is speaking, which will make the video conferencing more convenient and effective. To toggle this feature, Apple has introduced a new section, called Automatic Prominence, which will be available in the Facetime part.

Security Fixes

For some time, users were experiencing two security issues. The first one with the Mail application, which was affected on both iPad and iOS. This issue was very vulnerable as it enabled the hackers to hack any device by sending mails that take a lot of space. This update has fixed this error and now the Apple devices have become more secure. The second issue was a black screen problem, where the iPhone’s screen was turning black while streaming the videos. This update also rectifies this error and now users can easily stream the videos from any website they want.

Other Minor Bug Fixes

Along with all the major updates, Apple has also focused on improving the overall operating system, so people can use their devices without any issues. This update has also rectified a minor bug in the share sheet where actions and suggestions were not loading properly. Apple has also given an option that will allow users to send their health and other important details from their Medical Id when they place an emergency call. Though currently this feature is only available for the US region but soon Apple might launch this worldwide.
