Grouped notificationsĪpple is taking a huge, overdue step to fix its messy notifications situation: iOS 12 will support grouped notifications, so you’ll be able to interact with or dismiss multiple notifications from the same app at once. Apple is also applying this abundance of usage data to parental controls, giving parents greater oversight and supervision over how often their kids are staring at a screen. If you want to continue using that application, you can simply request more time.

A “time’s up” message will display when the counter runs out.

iOS will automatically notify you when you’re running out of the allotment of time you’ve given to each application. Similar to Android P, you’ll be able to set time limits for each app. Screen Time will provide a weekly summary of your usage habits. It can break down app usage by category (games, social media, etc.) and track which apps are sending you the most notifications. A new Screen Time feature in iOS 12 will detail how much time you’re spending on your device and using individual apps. Like Google, Apple is trying to help users strike a better, healthier balance between gadgets and life. The company is also focused on times when devices are under heavy load iPhones and iPads will now be better than ever at delivering optimal performance while also prolonging battery life. Apple is working to speed things up for the full range of devices supported by iOS 12. Federighi said that in Apple’s tests on an iPhone 6 Plus, apps launch 40 percent faster, the system keyboard comes up 50 percent faster, and opening the camera is 70 percent faster.

Performance, performance, performanceĪpple is working to make iOS feel faster than ever - particularly on older iPhones and iPads. The update will be available on all the same devices that received iOS 11. Screen Time, Memoji, Group FaceTime, and grouped notifications are just some of the new things that you’ll notice when you install iOS 12 this fall (or sooner if you join the beta coming later this month). But the new update for iPhones and iPads does include some significant additions, changes, and improvements. “For iOS 12, we are doubling down on performance,” said software VP Craig Federighi. We expected coming into WWDC that iOS 12 would focus less on major new features and more on improving performance and eliminating bugs, and that’s partially true based on what Apple showed onstage.
