Innehållsförteckning för July 2022 från iPhone User Magazine

Welcome to the very first issue of iPhone User Magazine! We're dedicated to bringing you more from the world of the iPhone, and to kick things off in our inaugural issue we've got some great news from Apple. At WWDC in June, Apple unveiled the new iOS 16 to the world for the first time. It looks amazing, and we've got a full run down of what's in it, starting on page 4 this issue. In iOS 16 we finally get to do more with the Lock Screen, share photos in new ways with up to 6 family members and unsend an email for the first time. But the best feature of iOS is that we get a new update every year, and it's always free. The only thing you have to worry…

1 Select a Focus Tap on an existing Focus (or create a new one by tapping ‘+’), and then tap on either the Lock Screen or Home Screen option under ‘Customise Screens'. 2 Build a screen When choosing Lock Screen, you'll be able to select an existing Lock Screen or tap on ‘gallery’ to create new ones from scratch. Add any widgets you need. 3 Select your home When choosing the Home Screen, you can only choose from existing Home Screens, so you will need to build that up outside of the Settings app. 4 Add a filter Scroll to the bottom of your Focus screen to find ‘Focus Filters’. Tap the ‘+’ icon and then select an app that you would like to filter for your Focus, such as Messages. 5 Filter content If…

1 Use Portrait mode Launch FaceTime and tap or search for a contact, then tap the camera icon. When the call has started, you'll see the image from your camera at the bottom left. Tap it to enlarge it and you'll see four icons in the corners. 2 Blur your background The icons are, from top left, Portrait, Minimise, Switch Camera, and Effects. Tap Portrait and your background will blur (handy for messy living spaces). If you tap the Effects button, you can swap your face for a Memoji or Animoji. 3 Create a link To FaceTime with someone who doesn't have an Apple device, you need to create a link to send them. Tap the FaceTime app, then tap Create Link. In the sheet that appears, tap Add Name. Type a name for the…

Master the Magnifier | TUTORIALS One of the least heralded but most useful tools on your iPhone is the Magnifier. This handy utility enables you to use your iPhone like a magnifying glass to enlarge text and objects. It uses the back camera to capture the image and displays it on the screen so you can zoom in and out of it. However, it does more than just enlarge whatever you point it at. You can apply colour filters to make text easier to read, invert the text, or adjust the brightness and contrast. And you can save a magnified object as an image to your Photos library, or share it using a share sheet. Auto-brightness will adjust the brightness on screen according to the ambient light on the object…

IN DEPTH | iOS 16 preview Apple has previewed iOS 16, a free update coming this Autumn with a raft of enhancements. In “the biggest update ever to the Lock Screen,” you'll be able to change the typeface and colour of the date and time, and add widgets for at-a-glance info on calendar events, weather, alarms, and more. A new Live Activities feature will update such things as sports scores, your food delivery order, and workout info in real time. Notifications now roll up from the bottom to keep your Lock Screen view clearer. You can set multiple Lock Screens and swipe between them, and they now connect with Focus - you can tie a Lock Screen wallpaper and widgets to a particular Focus, and activate that Focus by swiping…

We've already given you a heads-up on the new iOS16 that's coming out later this year, but for now iOS 15 is what we're all using, and it's had a relatively new update adding even more features. Here we're going to get to grips with the latest update and show you the new features. As with macOS Monterey, the chief beneficiary of the latest iOS update is FaceTime. And, just like on the Mac, FaceTime in iOS gets SharePlay (although not until later in the year in an update to iOS 15), Grid View, and the ability to invite friends who don't own Apple devices to join the conversation. Elsewhere, several of the other new features are the same as those on the Mac. So there's a new Focus mode…

What's new in Safari When Apple announced iOS 15 back in 2021, one of the biggest changes to the interface was in Safari. Just like In macOS Monterey, the URL bar (or tab bar as Apple now calls it) hosts both the address field/search bar and the button for switching tabs. However, unlike Monterey, where it still sits at the top of the page, it moved and initially hovered above the web page at the bottom of the screen. The immediate consequence was that the design hid the reload and Reader view buttons, much to the bemusement of many early preview users. Since then, Apple has made changes so that the reload button is visible, and the Reader view control appears when that mode is available. More importantly, the bar now…

What's new in Focus Do Not Disturb has long allowed you to switch off notifications during hours you specify. Now, Focus goes further, enabling you to filter notifications based on what you're currently doing. When you set up a Focus, iOS will make suggestions based on your past activity. You can even create a Home Screen that shows only those apps you need while focusing. And your iPhone will use signals like time of day or your location to suggest a Focus to turn on. If someone you've chosen not to receive messages from tries to contact you while a Focus is active, they'll get a message telling them that your notifications are off. But they will still be able to get through to you with an urgent message. What's new…

Fabulous aims to help you build healthy habits by practising small tasks every day. If you want to eat more healthily, for instance, it will challenge you to simply start off with a nutritious breakfast for three days. When you nail the small things, you'll be in the habit of improving without even realising it. These small goals are integrated into long-term plans called Journeys, where you can decide to get a better night's sleep, improve your concentration, and more. If you change your mind, you can switch to a different Journey without losing progress. The idea, backed up by behavioural science, is that small goals will be more attainable and help you make substantial changes in your life much better than grand, unachievable targets ever will. Fabulous is free…

If you tap on the time, you'll be able to choose the font and colour…

What's new in FaceTime The headline new feature in FaceTime is SharePlay, which enables you to hold watching or listening parties on group calls with friends. When you watch a movie or TV programme, playback and controls are synced, and when someone on the call speaks, the video volume dips. SharePlay also enables you to share your screen with others on the call. However, SharePlay won't be available at launch as planned and will now appear as an update. Grid View enables you to see participants tiled on the screen, and spatial audio makes it sound like a person's voice is coming from their position on screen. Portrait mode allows you to blur your background, and you can now invite friends who don't have an Apple device, by sending them a…

What's new in Photos Most of the improvements in the Photos app are for Memories, one of the ways in which Apple surfaces photos you may not have seen for a while and packages them up as a slideshow. There has always been a degree of customisation available in Memories, but iOS 15 takes it much further. It adds lots of new songs to choose from as a soundtrack, and if you subscribe to Apple Music you can choose from tens of millions of songs in the Apple Music library. The Apple Music integration goes beyond just allowing you to choose songs from its library, however. It will make personalised suggestions by combining curated suggestions from ‘experts’ with your listening habits and the content of your photos. For example, it might…
