Hello, welcome to the Ace Assistant, which is used by 200 million iPhone users.
Recently, Apple released the update of the official version of iOS 15.2/iPadOS 15.2, integrating all the new features in the previous beta version, so there are many updates and some practical features worth knowing. Is it necessary to update the official version of iOS 15.2? After reading the following function introduction, I believe you have already made a decision.
I. App Privacy Report:
Previously, Apple added a "Record App Activity" function in iOS 15, which can tell users what time period the app has accessed your location, photos, microphone and so on within 7 days. In this update, Apple further optimized the function, after the upgrade, open the iPhone Settings - Privacy - App Privacy Report, you can see when the app accessed the device's photos, location, contacts, microphone, etc. In addition, you can also see which websites the app visits and other web activities.
This feature allows users to fully understand the activities of each app in the device, helps users manage application permissions, and prevents personal privacy leakage.
Second, support to view the iPhone maintenance history:
In the official version of iOS 15.2, Apple introduced a new feature of "iPhone Parts and Service History". This feature lets iPhone users know the history of device repairs and lets users know if the parts replaced during repairs are genuine.
Users can open iPhone Settings - General - About This Mac to view the iPhone parts repair history. It should be noted that this item can only be viewed by repairing equipment that has replaced parts, and the content that can be displayed is different for different models.
For iPhone XR, XS, XS Max, and later models, including the iPhone SE (2nd generation), you can check if the battery has been replaced.
For iPhone 11, iPhone 12, and iPhone 13, you can see if the battery or display has been replaced.
For iPhone 12 and iPhone 13, you can see if the battery, display, or camera has been replaced.
If you use Apple's genuine parts and tools for repairs, "Genuine Apple Part" will be displayed next to the repair parts, click on more information, you can also query the repair date or other data. If the system determines that it is not the original accessory, or if there is a problem with the accessory, it will display three prompts: "Non-genuine part", "Used or installed in another iPhone", and "Part not working properly".
Third, find the function upgrade:
The official version of iOS 15.2 brings the Active Monitor Tracker feature to the Find App. With this feature, users can discover nearby "Trackable My Items" and can also assist in returning lost items.
In addition, with this update, Find Find can locate iPhones for up to five hours in battery-saving mode.
Fourth, Apple Music voice control program:
The new Apple Music voice-activated solution lets users access all songs, playlists, and stations in Apple Music through Siri, and the subscription price is even lower: 5 yuan / month. However, it should be noted that after subscribing, you can only listen to songs through Siri, and do not support functions such as spatial audio, full-track library lossless audio, lyrics, download, and family sharing. That is, the songs cannot be saved locally and need to have enough traffic. Users can consider whether to subscribe according to their own needs.
V. Estate Contact:
Apple has added a "Legacy Contacts" feature in "Settings - Accounts - Passwords and Security". You can let the user set a contact in this function, when the user dies, the designated contact can access the owner's photos, videos and other content by providing a death certificate and access password.
Sixth, the new ECG function:
Users with Apple Watch Series 4 and above can use this new feature (not supported by Apple Watch SE) after upgrading their iPhone and Apple Watch to the latest iOS 15.2 and watchOS 8.3 releases.
Users who have been upgraded can now open the Health app to start settings and use the feature as prompted: Open the Health app on your iPhone, tap the Browse tab, go to Heart, select Electrocardiogram (ECG), and click Settings to set it.
7. New trigger mode for SOS emergency call function:
Now there are two triggering methods for SOS emergency relief, one is to press the side button and the volume button, and you can also press the side button 5 times in a row, and the two trigger methods can be enabled at the same time.
8. iPhone 13 Pro Series Macro Photo Control:
After updating the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max models to the latest version, you can enable macro photo controls in Settings - Camera to switch to an ultra-wide lens to take macro photos and videos. When the "Macro Control" is off, take a picture close to the object, and the phone will automatically cut into macro mode. "Macro Control" is turned on, close to the object to take pictures, the camera interface will appear "flower" icon, the user can click on it to choose whether to turn on the macro function.
In addition to the above key features, iOS 15.2 official release also adds the following content:
