In the early hours of this morning, Apple pushed the update of the official version of iOS 15.2 for the majority of iPhone users, and users can directly open the settings - general - software update, and directly upgrade to the latest iOS 15.2 official version on the device OTA.
The size of this update package is only 760M, the updated version number is (19C56/57), because the official version number and the version number of the RC version last week are the same, so users who have been updated to iOS 15.2 RC version last week cannot receive the official version push, and can only use the third-party assistant to save the data flashing upgrade.
Regarding the main new features of iOS 15.2, when the RC version was pushed last week, our fruit powder home also shared with fruit fans. iOS 15.2 adds an important new feature – app privacy reports. This is also one of the main features of the iOS 15 system, which is also called "App Mirror" by netizens. Users can directly open the settings - privacy - App privacy report, you can view the privacy report of the relevant app.
The App Privacy Report records data and sensor access, web activity for apps and websites, and the longest-connected domain names. For example, if we take WeChat as an example, we can see the access records of WeChat in the last 7 days, including when photos, contacts, locations, cameras, microphones, etc.
iOS 15.2 also added an original accessory detection function in the settings, and users who have upgraded to iOS 15.2 and later can open settings - General - About this unit to view the parts and service history of the iPhone.
This feature is only supported on iPhone XR/Xs and above, where:
For iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, and later, including the iPhone SE (2nd generation), you can check if the battery has been replaced.
For iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone 13 models, you can check if the battery or display has been replaced.
For iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 models, you can check if the battery, display, or camera has been replaced.
Note: If your iPhone has replaced the above related accessories, the replacement record will be displayed in the iPhone, and if it has not been repaired and replaced, the option will not be displayed
Another important feature is that iOS 15.2 adds a "Legacy Contacts" function to apple IDs. The user opens the Settings - Click on the Apple ID - Password & Security page and can find the "Legacy Contacts" option, where we can add legacy contacts.
As your estate contact, you will have access to the data stored in your account after your death, including photos, messages, notes, files, contacts, calendar schedules, downloaded apps and device backup data, and more.
Although this function is still early for us to use, it is undeniable that this function is still very useful for us, we can set up trusted people as heritage contacts, so that even if we die unexpectedly, some important information or evidence in the mobile phone can also let the inheritance contact know at the first time.
Another humble and useful feature is the "Restrict IP Address Tracking" feature, which restricts IP from being tracked by emails or known trackers such as Safari browser by hiding your IP address.
iOS 15.2 also added apple music voice control, a new subscription plan, you can use Siri to access all the songs, playlists and radio stations in Apple Music, it will recommend music based on your listening history and preferences, and playing again can give you access to the list of recently played music.
So the question is, how is this new subscription different from the previous 10 yuan / month Apple Music membership? Take a look at the image below:
In addition, iOS 15.2 also enables macro photo control in the iPhone 13 Pro Series settings to switch to ultra-wide-angle lenses to take macro photos and videos; new safety settings that enable parents to send warnings when children receive or send photos containing nudes; CarPlay provides road details such as turn lanes, midlines, bike lanes, and crosswalks in supported cities; Find Can be positioned for alignment within up to 5 hours of the iPhone's battery saving mode.
iOS 15.2 also fixes bugs where video streaming apps may not be able to load content on iPhone 13 models, overexposure when viewing ProRAW photos in third-party photo editing apps, and HomeKit scenes may not run from CarPlay when the iPhone is locked.
Of course, not only the official version of iOS 15.2, Apple today also pushed the update of watchOS 8.3 official version, macOS 12.1 Monterey official version, and the ECG function of the Apple Watch of the National Bank of China has also officially landed.
After the user upgrades the iPhone to the latest iOS 15.2 official version, the ECG function can be turned on by opening the Watch app on the iPhone and updating the Apple Watch to the most recent 8.3 official version.
It should be noted that the ECG function only supports Apple Watch Series4/5/6/7, while Apple Watch SE and Apple Watch S3 and below models are not supported
